The event demonstrated ISN’s commitment to supporting students in making informed choices about their higher education and preparing for a successful transition to university life.

Kateryna, a Grade 10 Student, commented, “The fair was so much fun as the representatives were so friendly and approachable. We discussed entry requirements which helped me to think about which subjects I should take in grade 11.”'
