Recently, our school is buzzing with excitement, thanks to a wave of good news from our students as they received tremendous recognition from many renowned global competitions. In this article, let us celebrate the wonderful accomplishments of our BIS Hanoi’s students over the last few weeks.

What a jam-packed first half-term it has been! I am sure everyone is ready to rest and recharge of our non-screen batteries over the coming half-term break.

On September 25th, a group of Secondary students from BIS Hanoi launched a music documentary titled ‘Darkness to Light’ as part of their community project called 'Silver Lining'.

Students at The British International School Hanoi, part of the global Nord Anglia Education family of schools, are celebrating after receiving their IGCSE results.

Our students achieve more than they may have thought possible. We believe there is no limit to what students can achieve socially, personally and academically. This year, our students’ academic results reflect our shared commitment to excellence in this area.

As usual, we can’t wait to congratulate our students who obtained the best results in each subject last week! Well done everyone!

Last week was a very exciting week for mathematics at BIS. Students across the Primary School took part in a House Maths competition featuring a variety of different tasks and challenges that the students engaged in across the week.

Towards the end of the term, our students still remained enthusiastic about engaging in different learning activities. Huge congratulations to our Secondary learning stars from last week. The award recognized your outstanding performance in a variety of subjects. Well done!

On Tuesday (June 1st), our KS3 students competed in their first Virtual House Competition, called "The Lockdown Games." Their Heads of Year assigned them four fascinating assignments in which they could earn points for their house. Towards the end of the game, the House with the most winning points was crowned champion.

Last week was another exciting and busy week at BIS Hanoi. Huge congratulation to each of our Secondary Learning Stars this week.

Many Virtual Learning activities performed by students, as well as the attitude they have shown about their jobs, have left us in awe. We have listed the following names as ‘Virtual Learning Stars,' either for their wonderful individual piece of work or for their strong commitment and always moving beyond and above what has been expected of students.

The final term of Year 6 is very busy and thrilling, but it is also a very emotional time for our students when they begin to bid farewell to their Primary lives and look forward to the start of their Secondary journey. Here at BIS, the Year 6 and 7 teams collaborate to ensure that the transition process helps our students be well prepared for this step up, and that they feel confident, ready and a lot less nervous!

Last Friday (May 7) five of our Secondary student leaders had an opportunity to hear from expert speakers and exchange ideas with other international students at the FOBISIA Student Leadership Summit hosted by Nexus International School Malaysia. The virtual summit was a memorable event that gave our students many valuable lessons to further improve their leadership skills.

It has been such an exciting first week back for BIS students – IPC learning has gotten off to a super start with a series of thrilling entry points!

I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that time is just flying by at the moment. It feels that we start each week on Monday morning with lots of time ahead of us, and suddenly it is Friday again! I suppose that is just a sign of a busy life and a purposeful school.

Across the Primary School, we have been focusing on the importance of sleep and well being on children’s physical and emotional well-being. We have been working closely with Family Medical Practice and during the month of April they delivered three parent sessions on the importance of sleep in children. The sessions were delivered by Dr. Maria Santos.

On Wednesday night, BIS Hanoi hosted its inaugural Basketball Showcase, raising money for the Blue Dragon Foundation. The event, organised spectacularly by a quartet of Sixth Form students, Tuong Vy, Tuan Kiet, Hoang Nam, Thanh Tri, was a huge success! Involving a group of young, bidding entrepreneurs selling snacks, drinks and raffle tickets for some amazing prizes, a half time shooting competition and entertaining match commentary.

On Thursday we hosted our Gala Showcase event, combining both musical talents from a variety of students but with a focus on our Year 11 IGCSE and Year 13 IBDP students, alongside our IBDP Visual Art exhibition for our Year 13 students.

As part of our IPC Topic Express Yourself, Year 6 students have been looking at the importance of personal and collective responsibility within our local community.
