Two days of leadership, learning, and action
Last week, 11 of our Year 6 House Captains and Student Council members travelled to Ho Chi Minh City for the Primary Student Leadership Conference. They joined 42 young leaders from Nord Anglia schools in Vietnam, including BVIS Hanoi, BVIS HCMC, and BIS HCMC.
Over two days, our students built leadership skills that will serve them in school and beyond. They practised teamwork, collaboration, confident presenting, and decision-making, then applied these skills to create action plans for reducing waste and lowering their schools’ carbon footprints.
The conference programme was full of highlights. Students heard an inspiring keynote on sustainability from Ms Thu, Sustainability Manager at Tetra Pak, and reflected on the importance of Integrity and Compassion in leadership through a thought-provoking session led by Mr Simon Higham, Principal of BIS HCMC. They also took part in practical workshops that focused on inspiring others and making meaningful change happen.
The first day centred on teamwork and communication. After interactive workshops, students worked in their school groups to brainstorm creative ways to reduce their carbon footprints. On the second day, they built on these foundations with energising team-building games and small-group collaborations that pushed them to think critically and problem-solve together. The conference came to a close with final presentations, where every student team confidently shared their action plans with peers.
Our BIS Hanoi leaders returned with new friendships, fresh ideas, and the confidence to make a positive impact on their community.
At BIS Hanoi, we believe leadership starts early. Opportunities like this empower your child to act with integrity, take initiative, and contribute to a better world.
