SPM Panglima Polim Campus is proud to celebrate the artistic excellence of 10th grader Teo, who has brought international recognition to the school by winning the Golden Prize in Piano Solo (Festival Class C) at the prestigious Rising Stars International Arts Festival & Competition (RSIAF) in VietNam, 2025.

Teo’s musical journey has been one of discipline, passion, and constant growth. Since joining SPM, he has demonstrated exceptional talent in the performing arts, but what truly sets him apart is his relentless commitment to refining his craft. His success in VietNam is the result of countless hours of focused practice and a deep emotional connection to the music he plays.

Beyond technical skill, Teo’s development as a student artist has been strongly supported by the school’s emphasis on holistic education. With programs such as Leader in Me and the Cambridge International Curriculum, students like Teo are empowered to explore their full potential and develop the confidence to shine on any stage—whether academic or artistic.

Teo’s achievement not only showcases his individual talent but also elevates the reputation of SPM on the global stage. His win is a reflection of the school’s commitment to nurturing diverse talents and encouraging students to pursue excellence in every field.
