In the year 2022, the students from Northern Lights Private School (NLPS) have participated in two mega academic competitions, the Kangaroo Math and Kancil Science competitions.
Kangaroo Math Competition is currently the world’s largest math competition with more than 4 million participants from 96 countries in 2022. In Kangaroo Math 2022, there were more than 45,000 participants representing over 1,404 schools from all over Malaysia. Kancil Science Competition is an annual competition for primary, secondary and pre-university students that aims to challenge students’ science knowledge through critical thinking, problem-solving, and general scientific knowledge which became a platform for students to be selected in the national team and participate in International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO).
