SD Al Siddiq International is enthusiastically preparing to take part in the 18th International Kangaroo Science Contest (IKSC) 2025 — a prestigious science competition that has become a global benchmark for schools committed to developing students’ scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. The contest is organised by Klinik Pendidikan MIPA (KPM), the official host in Indonesia, and is part of an international science competition network participated in by students from various countries around the world.
Through this event, SD Al Siddiq International continues to strengthen its commitment to providing a learning environment rich in high-quality academic experiences, while fostering students’ love for science and scientific exploration from an early age.
The IKSC is well known for its intellectually challenging questions that emphasise scientific exploration, problem-solving, and logical reasoning. In the previous year, the competition recorded an impressive total of 62,655 participants from across Indonesia — a clear indication that students’ interest in science and research continues to grow. For SD Al Siddiq International students, this opportunity serves as a valuable platform to enhance analytical skills, broaden scientific understanding, and build confidence in competing at both national and international levels.
This participation also aligns with the school’s mission to prepare a young generation capable of thriving in a global era — one that is intellectually competitive, critically minded, and creatively resilient in facing future challenges.
Participants from SD Al Siddiq International will compete in categories according to their age group, ranging from Year 1 to Year 6. Through intensive guidance and mentoring, the school aims not only for academic achievement but also for meaningful learning experiences, particularly in discipline, accuracy, self-confidence, and mental resilience in overcoming challenges. The activity also reflects the school’s ongoing support in nurturing students’ talents and interests in science, providing them with opportunities to experience the atmosphere of an international competition from an early age.
With the spirit of collaboration among teachers, students, and parents, SD Al Siddiq International is confident that its participation in IKSC 2025 will be a valuable and enriching experience for all. It is hoped that the students will not only achieve commendable results but also embody positive values, scientific attitudes, and a lifelong motivation to keep learning and growing. May this step become part of a long and meaningful journey in shaping an excellent, well-rounded young generation capable of contributing meaningfully to the nation and the world.
