In this post we speak to Ms Hazel Allen who is now a Learning Support Teacher at An Phu Primary Campus to find out her first impressions of Vietnam.

Pick the first 3 words you think of when I say Vietnam...

Warmth, food & vistas.

What are your first impressions of BIS HCMC?

A huge building maze of corridors and lots of stairs!! All staff are welcoming, supportive and friendly. BIS is a well-resourced, managed school with amazing students who are not only eager to learn but polite and courteous. Students are so enthusiastic I find a constant buzz around school.

What new experience have you had since you arrived in Vietnam?

On a long Weekend we made the journey to Vung Tau and walked up Jesus just like the famous Statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! A total of 851 steps to the base of the monument. Amazing views from the arms of Jesus overlooking the South China Sea. There are fabulous sea food restaurants in the region if you love seafood!

If you were writing a postcard to friends back home, what would it say?

You must visit you don’t know what you are missing from great food, weather and culture.

Being aware and being human: sharing stories

BIS-Aware season on the Secondary campus was an opportunity to explore the breadth and depth of who ‘We Are’ as individuals and communities, it provided a platform to explore the Protected Characteristics, the hidden and lesser known stories that celebrate our strength and diversity. The purpose of this inaugural event was to promote Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (EDIB) to nurture a supportive community that encourages a sense of social responsibility and inclusion. This brings together both worldwide movements such as Black History Month and Women's History Month but also our own ‘in-house’ awareness event from the Identity Alliance group. This year our theme was ‘Sharing Stories’.
