On Saturday the 24th of September, 12 BIS Students participated in the Saigon Senior Logic Competition held at ISHCMC, where their logic and wits were tested to their limits.
The competition was suitably challenging, but our students had a great time. In their own words:
"After a gruelling individual round, aptly named the "Genius" test, we moved onto the Escape Room round - where we were give 40 minutes to solve six challenging interlinked questions. Team BIS1 - Thuy-Linh, Carl, Thanh, and Nathaniel - managed to complete the challenge in a winning time of 9 minutes and 53 seconds, beating second place by five minutes. The subsequent Team round and Creative round was less successful for BIS, however. Overall, the SLC was an enjoyable challenge that exercised our brains to the max."
Nathaniel Vo, Thuy-Linh Le, Thanh Tran, and Carl Chua
BIS 3 (Tom Lee, Jin Ho Kim, Zhou Jun Lim and Seo Young Jung) and BIS 2 (Jun Won Hwang, Jeremie Luong, Il Kyu Kim, and Joseph Shin) also performed exceptionally well achieving 14th and 20th respectively in the overall rankings. We look forward to hosting the Junior Logic Competition next year which will be organised and run by the Year 12 Student Maths Leaders, many of whom participated at last weekend’s event.
Mr Sillitoe, Assistant Head of Mathematics at An Phu Secondary
We are thrilled that four of our Year 13 students have recently gained offers from ‘Elite’ USA universities.
At BIS HCMC, leadership is more than just a title — it’s about inspiring others, fostering a sense of community, and embracing personal growth. This year’s Head Students, in Year 13, — Atom, JaeYeon, Tim, and Serena — embody these values with authenticity and dedication, each bringing their unique strengths, creativity, and passion to their roles.
We are thrilled to announce that a record three students from the BIS HCMC Class of 2025 have received offers from the University of Oxford, ranked number 3 in the world, and the University of Cambridge, ranked number 5 in the world. A huge congratulations to Quynh An, YeongSeo (Judy) and JaeYeon on their extraordinary achievement that sets a new benchmark for BIS students.
These achievements come as BIS students begin to secure outstanding offers from top universities around the world, including USA, UK, Australia and Asia and these numbers will only continue to rise as more decisions will be made over the coming weeks.
