Over the last two weeks in Primary assemblies, 4B and 5S have reinforced the importance of perseverance, not only in school but in life too. Ms Ower’s class told us the story of ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’ and cleverly adapted it to show how we can persevere even when storytelling. Today, 4B gave us some fantastic phrases to help keep us on track: keep going, don’t give up, step forwards, push yourself, everything is possible. In addition to these important messages, assemblies are a wonderful for opportunity for children to practise their speaking and presentation skills and it is wonderful to see our students doing so with such confidence and clarity.

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. We heard the admissions’ tutors from the outstanding universities of MIT and Penn State explain why they admire the Cambridge qualifications, that BIS Hanoi students present for.

Our Head of Primary reflects on an incredible first term of student achievements and progress at BIS Hanoi and wishes our families a happy holiday and New Year.

We follow the English National Curriculum for Literacy, Maths, Science and use the International Primary Curriculum for our other subjects such as history, geography and art. The curriculum for literacy and maths has key skills and expectations for each year group from Year 1 to 6. The students’ attainment and effort for this term along with comments on their progress and has been issued today in the Primary December Report.

To show our gratitude towards the thrilling experiences that KOTO provided us for the past months, we have decided to operate multiple fundraising events at British International School Hanoi to help KOTO prepare surprise Christmas presents for their trainees, according to the trainees’ wish lists.
