Fifteen students from Jerudong International School (JIS) recently took part in the prestigious 57th Annual Chemistry Olympiad 2025, organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), with remarkable results.


All 15 students who participated earned awards: 2 Gold, 10 Silver and 3 Bronze. On a global scale, 16,216 students from around the world entered the Olympiad and only the top 8% achieved a Gold Award.


Impressively, two JIS students received a Gold award: Amanda Goh and Muhamad Zaim Aqel bin Mohamad Azri.


The Silver Award is given to the top 25% and JIS had 10 students earn this distinction: Pg Qaiyimah Nurul Bolkiah binti Pg Hj Md Hakimmuddin, Gideon Chan, Rahul Dhara, Lyeenah Hamidiah Hj Abdul Hamid, Nur Alya Alisya binti Abd Rahman, Muhammad Haris Bazly Romi Irwin, Neeha Kanan, Syifa A'leeya binti Hj Mohd Serudin, Md Shafwanul Bakri bin Hj Md Seruddin and Megan Tan.


Furthermore, three students were awarded Bronze certificates: Li Jia Chong, Nadia Shasmeen Binti Mohd Shahrulnizam and Marianne Sequeira.


Among the award recipients were several Ministry of Education (MoE) and Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) scholarship students at JIS. MoRA scholarship students include Pg Qaiyimah Nurul Bolkiah binti Pg Hj Md Hakimmuddin, Nur Alya Alisya binti Abd Rahman and Syifa A'leeya binti Hj Mohd Serudin. MoE scholarship students include Lyeenah Hamidiah Hj Abdul Hamid, Md Shafwanul Bakri bin Hj Md Seruddin, Muhamad Zaim Aqel bin Mohamad Azri and Muhammad Haris Bazly Romi Irwin.


The Chemistry Olympiad is the UK’s leading chemistry competition for secondary school students. It aims to challenge and inspire the most talented young chemists, pushing them to apply their understanding in abstract ways.


Mr. Nicholas Sheehan, Executive Principal of JIS, commented, “I am incredibly proud of all 15 students who participated, especially the two who earned Gold in such a competitive field. These results are a testament to the strength of our science education and the hard work of both our students and their teachers.”
