On 4th November 2017, KVIS administrators joined Japan Super Science Fair 2017 at Ritsumeikan Junior & Senior High School in Japan. The team was led by Dr. Pailin Chuchotthaworn, the former CEO of PTT Public Company Limited and present Chairman of the KVIS Board of Governors. The purpose of visit was to present a proposal to the Executive Working Group of the International Science Schools Network (ISSN) for hosting International Students' Science Fair (ISSF). The ISSF is an international venue for high school students to present research projects. Eventually, KVIS has been granted the opportunity to host the 16th ISSF in 2020.
A week later, KVIS welcomed Mr. Ian Kenworthy, the principal of Camborne Science and International Academy, and Mr. Bob Adamson, the STEM Program Director of Fort Richmond Collegiate, Canada . The delegates visited KVIS during 13 – 15 November 2017 and were accompanied by our team to explore KVIS classrooms, labs and facilities. Mr. Kenworthy gave a lecture on “Teaching and Learning at Camborne Science and International Academy” to KVIS students and teachers.
With the aims on strengthening friendship and relationship between the schools and countries, KVIS inked MoUs with Camborne Science and International Academy, and Fort Richmond Collegiate on 14th and 15th November 2017 respectively.
