00:06When I knew that I won, I looked over and saw that my friends and teachers were actually supporting us
00:13as they were the loudest team to actually cheer for us, which really made me very proud to be from
00:18St. Gabriel.
00:20That's right. This is going to be super game show style for all of us right here.
00:36Tell us, how do you feel about this whole first round so far?
00:41I think we tried our best, so whatever the score is, we will accept it.
00:47You have no choice but to accept it.
00:50When we saw that we were behind on the scoreboard, we were actually a little bit anxious,
00:56but there was also a sense of excitement as any decision that we made would really change the outcome.
01:05It was a go big or go home situation. We went big.
01:13I hope that the money can be used to help support our own students who are under the financial assistance
01:20scheme.
01:20You know, this is the second time we've done this, put together What's the News.
01:24So we had launched it last year in celebration of STE's 180th birthday and judging by how much fun students
01:31had last year.
01:32And now this year, it's certainly my hope that we'll keep this going for some time to come.
01:37I hope you support us as well.
01:38Well, I'd like to see maybe even more schools participate in the competition.
01:42It teaches them that they've got to persevere.
01:46They've got to actually be able to be resilient, I suppose, when taking on questions to be able to maybe
01:51think on their feet.
01:52I think it teaches them also that they've got to actually work hard to actually understand the world around them
01:58and to be able to use it and apply it.
02:00I've had the experience speaking with many students about issues like conflicts in the Middle East, about geopolitics, about the
02:08politics happening in Washington.
02:10Sometimes students say, oh, okay, I will listen, but I don't think it really affects me.
02:15If you drill down a couple of layers, you will realise it does.
02:18So it's not so easy, I think, for students to see the linkages all the time.
02:22But I think the more you choose to read things that do not appear that relevant to you, the more
02:28it will start all of you thinking about how it actually does.
02:31Since you're either gonna be right when he's good to move and you're learning how it struggles.
02:31That's the only thing that there together is.
02:32Well, it's difficult.
