ISSF 2023
International Students’ Science Fair
Queensland Academy for Science Mathematics and Technology, Australia
4-8 December 2023
The International Student Science Fair (ISSF) is an opportunity for students from around the world to come together to learn and share in a multicultural environment. Secondary school students of the International Schools Science Network (ISSN) community and its associated members, will engage in scientific research exchanges.
The theme for 2023 is Sustainable Futures, in recognition of our joint commitment to value our natural environment.
Those attending from schools around the world will benefit from this experience made possible through the partnership and connection with The University of Queensland, who are the major sponsors of the ISSF 2023.
SST is represented by Mr Chan Choon Loong as the Principal delegate and Mr Tan Hoe Teck as the teacher delegate. The student delegates from SST are:
Aathithya Jegatheesan (S3-01)
Chan Yi Qian (S3-02)
Lee Zheng Ting Colin (S3-04)
The Values of the ISSN are:
RESPECT: for the cultural diversity, values, traditions, beliefs and expertise brought to the ISSN by each member school;
COLLABORATION: in good faith, with all partner schools, we share our expertise, ideas and, where appropriate, resources, for the benefit of all our students and the promotion of excellence in science awareness and education more globally;
SUPPORT: for each member school, to allow opportunities which might otherwise be inaccessible;
SENSE OF COMMUNITY: built to allow us to have a reasoned and credible voice for the purpose of the continued advancement of science and science education across the world.
The 2023 Global Sustainability Development Report highlights the urgent need for accelerated action to occur in actioning the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as we head towards the 2030 target. The report recognises the powerful role science plays in supporting the development of practical solutions.
This fair seeks to focus our collective attention on the key sustainability issues highlighted by the SDG, with a particular focus on Goals 7, 11, 12, 13 14 and 15. To this end, we ask schools to align their student research presentations to one or more of these goals, under our overarching theme of Sustainable Futures.

Comments of our students are as follows:
I think that the Brisbane Trip was very eventful because I managed to learn about Australia’s culture and education system (Lee Zheng Ting Colin, S3-04).
I enjoyed the Brisbane trip as it allowed me to look at a diverse range of science projects and meet more people (Chan Yi Qian, S3-02)!
I enjoyed interacting with people from all over the world, forging international friendships, and learning valuable life lessons (Aathithya J., S3-01).
