Taste the World: Highlights from ISP's International Food Festival 2024
The International Food Festival is undeniably the most anticipated community event of the year, and it never fails to delight our taste buds! Organised entirely by our dedicated SCA (School Community Association) and parent volunteers, this culinary extravaganza showcases the rich diversity of the ISP community.

This year, we were thrilled to have 33 countries represented in the festival. Each country crafted beautiful table-scapes and decorations that reflected the vibrancy of their culture, alongside mouthwatering foods and drinks for the community. The perfect weather even allowed for three countries to set up outside in the courtyard!
The International Food Festival serves as the SCA’s flagship fundraising event. All proceeds directly support the activities they organise for children, staff and parents. This year’s event surpassed all expectations, boasting record-high participation!
Beyond the impressive array of dishes, what truly stood out in this year’s International Food Festival was the unwavering commitment and hard work of our SCA parent community, who orchestrated this cherished ISP tradition.

“The International Food Festival is the highlight of the school year and definitely my favourite SCA event. It celebrates the cultural diversity of our community and brings people together to enjoy delicious food, delightful drinks, and wonderful music. It truly is a pleasure to be part of this community and work alongside all the amazing SCA volunteers.”
Piia, SCA Secretary and organiser of the Food Festival
We are immensely grateful to everyone who contributed to this event, from selling coupons to preparing food and organising logistics! Additionally, we extend our gratitude to all performers and musicians who added life to the party, as well as our sponsors who donated drinks and even provided Land Rovers for test drives!
The 2024 International Food Festival was a showcase of our ISP’s unity and the celebration of our diverse cultures. We eagerly anticipate the next opportunity to come together and savour the flavours of ISP!
