As part of the Nord Anglia Education family of schools, we care deeply about making a difference in people’s lives, especially those of our students, parents, teachers, staff and school community. That is why BIS Hanoi is proud to announce the launch of Share A Dream, a new social platform that empowers our school to effect social change. Read on to learn more about how our students can use the Share A Dream platform to get involved in social outreach opportunities.

 

Share A Dream is an online social engagement platform at www.shareadream.org. It was designed exclusively to engage Nord Anglia Education schools, students and teachers in outreach activities. As an intuitive solution for social responsibility engagement, Share A Dream helps facilitate the good work happening in every Nord Anglia school community, and gives students and teachers the power to effect positive, lasting change through activities.

Share A Dream is a tool for students, teachers and staff at Nord Anglia Education schools all around the world! Our school cares deeply about making a difference in people’s lives, and Share A Dream channels this goodwill into a practical tool for change.

With Share A Dream, our school can plan, execute and report on outreach activities and events, including volunteering and work with NGOs. Regardless of what kind of social campaign is being run, we can easily track details from start to completion, along with information on fundraising amounts, number of goods donated or total hours volunteered.  Students and teachers can get involved in social activities based on the things they truly care about.

Some of BIS Hanoi's active Community Partners are Blue Dragon Children's Foundation, Royal British Legion, Hy Vong  School for disabled children and Endangered Primate Rescue Centre. Moreover, BIS Hanoi also has a parent-run club called Friends of BIS and an ECA Club: Organic Garden and Chicken Coop that often holds activities that support the community. 

Since the last academic year, Friends of BIS have been running the Upcycle Project, where parents and students collect old school uniforms and reuse the fabric to make a range of useful and fun products, such as water bottle covers, bookmarks, bags, cushions and costumes for school productions. The items will then be sold and the funds raised will be donated to the various community partners. 

Since establishing our community service partnership in 2016, we have seen not only the project grow from strength to strength but also the students from both schools grow in confidence, with friendship groups being established during the student-led fun games and activities exchanges. 

Other projects include classroom-based visits in both Primary and Secondary. We have had student music and dance performances, with ticket sales going towards supporting this community partner and additional fund raising carried out by a wonderful BIS parent group.
