Comments from our students who had a blast visiting a new country and experiencing a diverse culture:
βMy experience at ISTEC was fun and full of surprises to say the least.it was a blast and a half! A lot of people were friendly and most were interested in the fact that I was a different colour. I would definitely go back again if I had the chance.β

βI want to say thank you to Mr Dinler for giving me the opportunity to go to Indonesia and to participate in my first overseas science competition. I really enjoyed this and had a lot of fun, not only at the expo but also getting to know my fellow school mates better. I loved this trip and would be thrilled to go again.β

βAttending the ISTEC competition has been a great experience for me. I was overwhelmed with everything β the people, the hotel, the country and the food. It was just amazing! It was a pleasure having the chance to participate in the competition. It was an enjoyable experience.β

βthe ISTEC competition was an eye opener about how other countries are very different to South Africa. I enjoyed the whole trip. I feel like there was never time to feel bored which is good.β
