Today (Monday) Year 12 arrived safely in Mai Chau at lunchtime. We are looking forward to our week of service work for the CAS element of the IB course. This afternoon consisted of a beautiful bicycle ride through lush rice paddy fields, followed by building and then racing bamboo rafts on a small lake.
British International School Hanoi Lionhearts performed beyond all expectations today, demonstrating exceptional performances both in Athletics and Swimming. The team arrived fueled and ready to perform – motivation and ambition was high with all students setting themselves goals for the day ahead
The British International School Hanoi Golf team arrived safely at the amazing Angsana Golf resort in Phuket. We were warmly greeted at the airport by our hosts from the British International School Phuket.
Service projects can be local or international. They can range from small scale action groups working at a micro level to collaborative groups involving multinational agencies that ambitiously strive to solve problems on a global scale. British International School Hanoi is home to a full range of service projects as the following examples illustrate.
This term, the students in Year 3 have run a wonderfully successful Young Enterprise topic all in aid of one of British International School Hanoi community partners, Tam Dao Bear Sanctuary
At British International School Hanoi, we are all familiar with our Aide Memoire, but the IB Learner Profile, précised above, compliments our ambition to allow students the opportunities to grow in a personalised way
This was before BIS arrived, armed with 50 VERY excitable Year 7’s embarking on their very first secondary school journey. And what an experience it was!
Back in 2012, when our current Year 9 students were in Year 5, I was fortunate enough to lead their annual expedition to Cuc Phuong. During this year’s trip to Sa Pa I was able to see and experience how well our students have developed as global citizens over the years.
A sea of green hoodies flowed from BIS as the year 10s and 11s boarded the airport bound coaches this morning. A few hours and a short fight later and we arrived in Dalat. From the airport we were taken to a viewing point from which we looked out over the picturesque Dalat rooftops, cloaked in a veil of atmospheric cloud.
On Monday, Year 8 went on a trip to Hanoi Geological Museum. It was built in 1914 and has displays showing The Earth and the Solar System and the The Geological Evolution of Vietnam.
We all had a sensational time but our students did the most amazing job generating some hilarious experiences, videos and photos that had us smiling from ear to ear. They can all be very proud of the work and behavior during this trip. It was an incredible experience for all of us!
