As we come to the end of a busy festive half-term, it is exciting to look back and reflect on the achievements of our students, the efforts of our teachers, and the real sense of community that has developed during our Virtual School Experience (VSE) across Phase 3 in Primary.

This week we have been delighted to welcome our Year 13 students back to campus for face-to-face learning.

In-person learning resumed at BIS Hanoi this week for the first time in over 6 months.

In our Virtual School Experience (VSE), we value the importance of well-being and understand that it is closely related to academic success.

Following the success of the Fun Run over the past 6 years in Hanoi and over 20 years in HCMC, this year, the British Chamber of Commerce Vietnam (BritCham Vietnam) is pleased to host the annual Charity Fun Run in a virtual format from the 1st to 5th December 2021.

It has been a wonderful half term in Phase Two and the children have impressed us all with their perseverance, resilience and independence in our Virtual School Experience.

By the end of this week we will have had the opportunity to support the vaccination roll out to all our 12 year old’s and upwards.

With Term 1 soon coming to a close, we have been reflecting on the achievements of the last 15 weeks of schooling.

While the pandemic has brought many challenges, it’s also introduced a new wave of innovation, resilience and collaboration in education that could prove to be a permanent “great disruptor” to the sector.

At BIS Hanoi, while academic learning is important, and the students continue to progress and learn new skills through reading, writing, phonics, Maths, Science and topic lessons, we also understand the importance of the social and emotional well-being of our students.

This week we have begun the process of supporting the vaccination of our oldest students in school aged 15 – 18 years.

Teacher professional learning was the hot topic at BIS Hanoi this week, with all teachers participating in the 21st Century Learning Virtual Conference broadcast from Hong Kong.

The process of deciding what to do, and where to go, after graduating from BIS Hanoi should be a long-term, ongoing one. The University Guidance Counsellor is focused on giving BIS Hanoi students the right support and guidance as they negotiate what can be difficult decisions.

Every year in November, BIS Hanoi students come together to celebrate World Children's Day through a series of inspiring, student-led activities.

Ahead of World Children’s Day on November 20th, today BIS Hanoi Primary students took part in an exciting day of events and activities.

Today we are celebrating World Children’s Day across our school. For each of us, our childhood is such a critical and formative part of our lives that helps to shape who we are and the pathways we choose.

World Children’s Day was the focus this week, with engaging activities running through Form Tutor sessions and during assembly.

As part of their CAS project, our Year 13 students taught our primary pupils about the importance of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (or Global Goals).

One of the many wonderful benefits of being part of a global group of schools is that our students have access to an online platform called Global Campus.

Next Friday, we look forward to celebrating World Children’s Day in our classes and assemblies. Our students will be organising various aspects of the school day for us.
