Bali Island School (BIS) hosted its annual University Fair on Thursday, 29th of October, bringing together 57 universities from more than 17 countries to connect with students and explore global higher education opportunities. The event provided students with valuable insights into international university pathways, application processes, and scholarship opportunities.
The event was part of the Bali Schools University Fair series, held from 26 to 29 October in collaboration with ProEd, Green School, Canggu Community School, and Dyatmika. As the final school in the series, BIS welcomed university representatives for an afternoon of exploration and guidance.
Students could speak directly with university representatives, explore academic programmes, and learn about admission requirements, scholarships, tuition fees, and campus life.
Head of School Dr Heather Millington opened the event by welcoming representatives and students. She highlighted the importance of exploring future opportunities through meaningful conversations, reminding students that they do not need to have all the answers immediately.
BIS Student Ambassadors from Grades 9–11 supported the event by welcoming representatives and guiding visitors. In addition, three workshops for students in Grades 9–12 covered key topics: finding the right university fit, preparing a strong application, and understanding university costs and scholarships.
“University fairs encourage students to remain curious, ask questions, explore, and consider different possibilities, enabling them to take thoughtful steps towards their futures. We believe that choosing higher education begins with informed exploration and meaningful connections,” said Ibu Yohana, College Counsellor.
The fair also welcomed BIS parents and guardians, alongside guests from other schools across Bali. University representatives praised the event’s organisation, hospitality, communication, and the helpfulness of the student ambassadors.
The annual University Fair continues to strengthen BIS’s relationships with international university partners while helping students make informed decisions about their future education.
Bali Island School extends its sincere thanks to all participating university representatives, student ambassadors, workshop facilitators, parents, and members of the school community for making the event a success.
