British International School HCMC are proud to announce that our four Year 9 students who entered into the International FOBISIA Design and Technology Online Competition were awarded second place!
A few weeks ago we introduced our finalists for the FOBISIA online Design and Technology competition after Year 9 students were asked to design and create a promotional gift for visitors to the school. After an intense internal competition, our four finalists went up against fellow FOBISIA students from other schools around Asia.
This particular online challenge is an opportunity for Secondary school students to understand how many different types of people visit the school and for what purpose, by designing and making a promotional gift for visitors of the school.
Our team of Year 9 students have worked extremely hard with the support from our dedicated Design and Technology staff members to create a product in just 6 weeks.
Design and Technology Teacher Mr Greg Roberts commented "These students communicated a clear structure and roles for their team while adapting an outstanding design strategy that allowed for small changes which had great impact on their final product."
The students’ dedication to this project proved fruitful, as this week they were awarded with second place overall.
Mr Jim Myers who was judging the competition commented on the entry, "BIS HCMC have researched target markets, modelled ideas, manufactured prototypes and the testing was clear to see as the results fed directly back into the design process. Overall, a confident and excellent presentation which clearly explains the many aspects of this project. I hope that you are all studying DT and will continue to do so...Design and Technology goes from strength to strength and it is important to embrace the talents and ideas of the young designers of OUR future."
Well done to Ben Gilmore, Gemma Handscombe, Sakura Kume and Cathy Jeong!

At BIS HCMC, we want all students of our diverse community to be the main characters - What’s a story without the voices that bring it to life?
At BIS HCMC, our Primary Expeditions are more than just school trips—they are life-changing expeditions that shape our students into confident, independent individuals. Earlier this month, our Year 4, 5, and 6 students embarked on thrilling journeys to Long Hai, Can Gio, and Cat Tien.
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.
