Nico Schreuder has been a credit to his school and his country through his participation in the International Olympiad in Informatics. He has been partaking and excelling in rounds for over a year, starting with a Gold Certificate in the first round of the Programming Olympiad in July 2024, and through qualifying in the second round, competing in the National Olympiad in Pretoria, where he was placed among the top fifteen high school programmers in the country. He then completed a series of psychometric tests and was one of the top four performers selected to compete for Team South Africa in Bolivia in July 2025. At this Olympiad, Team SA brought home one bronze medal and Nico himself was not only placed second but invited to compete once again in 2026. For representing his country and his school at the highest level, we award him a distinction tie.
