The Ponds, June 22, 2025 – A vibrant atmosphere filled The Ponds High School on Sunday as
Einstein Kidz Abacus hosted a large-scale educational competition, combining the mastery of
Abacus, Public Speaking, and Chess. The event brought together students across primary age
groups, showcasing a unique blend of academic skill, strategic thinking, and confident
communication.
This first-of-its-kind triathlon of intellect celebrated the spirit of learning through a day of
excitement, discovery, and growth. Young participants competed across three categories, with
each category awarding a Winner, 1st Runner-Up, and 2nd Runner-Up—recognizing a wide
range of talent and encouraging excellence.
In the Abacus segment, young learners demonstrated lightning-fast mental calculations using
the traditional tool. The Public Speaking section provided a platform for students to express
themselves confidently on diverse topics, highlighting their oratory and critical thinking skills.
Meanwhile, the Chess competition featured intense head-to-head battles, reflecting sharp
strategic planning and composure under pressure.
Students showed tremendous engagement in all three segments, and their enthusiasm was
evident throughout the event. The competition wasn’t just about winning—it was about
participation, learning, and personal growth.
The presence of distinguished guests—Mr. Warren Kirby MP (Riverstone) and Councillor
Moninder Singh (Blacktown Council)—as chief guests added a special touch to the event.
Their role in distributing medals, trophies, and certificates deeply inspired the young participants
and boosted their morale.
Parents were equally enthusiastic. One parent shared heartfelt feedback:
“Thank you Priya for organising such an amazing event and so much of healthy
competition amongst the kids.
It was truly amazing to see the enthusiasm in each child willing to participate and
perform to their best.
I would also personally like to thank you for allowing external kids such as for my
son to participate in the competition—and he was truly thrilled to be the winner of
the Young Public Speaking group.
Hope you continue this amazing event in the future as well and make us part of it
again.
Also, having Mr. Warren Kirby MP (Riverstone) and Mr. Moninder Singh
(Councillor, Blacktown Council) as the chief guests, distributing medals, trophies,
and certificates, has surely boosted the kids’ morale.”
Einstein Kidz Abacus acknowledged the success of its students by highlighting the winners in
their official newsletter, a proud moment for both children and their families.
Event organizers ensured smooth coordination, fair judging, and a welcoming environment that
encouraged every child to perform to their best. With its focus on holistic development and the
nurturing of multiple intelligences, this competition was more than just an academic event—it
was a celebration of curiosity, courage, and creativity.
The success of this initiative sets a strong precedent, and many now look forward to future
editions of this inspiring competition by Einstein Kidz Abacus.
