We have been back just over a week and our Year 13 students are beginning to realise the size of the challenge that faces the final year IBDP student. Students are making improvements to their extended essay prior to feedback from their personal tutors. The extended essay is an essential part of the IB. It is a 4,000 word piece of extended writing based on independent research. Students must achieve a passing grade for their extended essay (grade D or above) or they will fail their diploma.

We had more A level entrants than ever before and maintained an overall pass rate of 95%.

It was lovely to greet the students as they returned on Wednesday in new uniforms, with smiles on their faces and they all seem to have settled well.

Australia, Bratislava, California, Dubai...an alphabet of places rolled off the tongues of our returning students, as they told us stories about their summer holidays and home countries, but there was a common theme- our BIS Hanoi community are delighted to be home in beautiful Vietnam.
