There were Musical performances, presentations, puppet shows, art activities to name but a few. Our knowledge of rivers was put to the test with a ‘Rivers loop game’, meanwhile in 5B some students had gone missing and been replaced by Mr. and Mrs. Twit from the Roald Dahls classic, the Twits.
Today, it was wonderful to assemble together the students from Year 9 to 13 in order to celebrate the success of our Cambridge IGCSE learners.

I began the year promising to share with you our wonderful stories, as they emerged from BIS Hanoi. I hope that you felt the energy, joy and passion behind each one. It has been an extraordinary year on many levels. We have welcomed to the school, children and families from over twenty different countries around the world and they have enriched our lives. The children have been inspired by many new teachers and they and the returning teachers delivered incredible success in the sports arena, the musical theatre and our classrooms.
The performance started dramatically, with the cast of approximately 200 children on the stage, singing or accompanying as part of the orchestra. The story soon unfolded as gods and goddesses were seen setting challenges for young Hercules as a penance for his mischievous behaviour. The challenges led Hercules and his friend Ialous to visit strange lands to complete some dangerous, life-threatening tasks for the mean goddess Hera.
