There are a myriad of ways in which we support our students at BIS HCMC, both academically and pastorally, and this week we have been firmly focused on IGCSE and Key Stage 4.
The Year 13 students have started a new and challenging phase of their Theory of Knowledge course (TOK) with the release of the May 2020 prescribed titles.
As the new school year starts, with an influx of Year 12s to the Sixth Form and the Year 13 realisation that it is more than halfway through the IB and they face some big decisions about where they want to move on to next, The College and University Guidance Team begins a familiar cycle.
This Summer, 20 BIS HCMC students had the incredible opportunity of representing Ho Chi Minh City in an international football tournament as part of the Rising Star Football Academy European Tour.
The BIS-RSFA team have gone from strength to strength this year, with regular representation at tournaments at BIS and throughout the city in various 7-8-9 and 11 a side formats.
The BIS English Department traditionally end the academic year with some challenging and enjoyable competitions involving whole year groups at KS3, and this year saw Year 7 classes go head-to-head to find the overall Poetry Recital winner, with Year 8 verbally sparring to decide the year group’s Public Speaking champion.
The Geography Department firmly believe that learning outside of the classroom plays a fundamental role in our students building a deeper understanding and a stronger connection with the world around them.
On Friday 9th June, our F1 in Schools team, Nam Phong Racing, who will be representing Vietnam in the Abu Dhabi World Finals this November, successfully hosted the second BIS Grand Prix event.
Let’s take you back to 2017 when BIS students and brothers Aloïs, Jérémie and Mathéo Luong organised a toothpaste collection in conjunction with our Community Service department.
Dear parents,
From the BIS Grand Prix to Fold n’ Fly and a special PTG Quiz our week has been characterised by events that have enabled students of all ages to collaborate and learn, even compete with one another.
It was a great pleasure to welcome parents of our new Year 7 students to the campus on Wednesday and also to offer an especially warm welcome to those parents who will be joining BIS for the first time as Year 7 parents in August. Our Night of the Arts was a tremendous showcase of performance and creativity and was a further highlight of another memorable week.
