The Student Maths Leaders have organised interactive and practical Maths Masterclasses for Year 6 students to foster their passion for problem solving and Maths.
In efforts to make Maths more compelling and applicable to younger students, we, the Student Maths Leaders, have organised various problem solving activities with the Year 6 children to challenge their creative thinking in a collaborative environment.
The challenges we have run over the past few weeks ranged from a Code-breaking Murder Mystery, Coordinate Battleships, Matchsticks Puzzles to Tangrams. The Year 6 children truly surprised us with their continuous enthusiasm, perseverance and ingenuity.
This week’s challenge included calculating the volume of some mind-boggling shapes and drawing them isometrically on paper. Next week, which is unfortunately our final session, we have organised a very memorable team-based problem solving activity involving marshmallows!
We, the Student Maths Leaders, are a team of Year 12s with a desire to spread our passion for Maths in BIS HCMC: aside from these Masterclasses, we have organized the infamous Pi Day Challenge and are hosting the citywide Junior Logic Competition in May.
Students Maths Leaders: Daniel Han, Victoria Fethke, Doan Nguyen, Beom Jun Kim, Hi Leung, Jin Ho Kim, Min Ha Jeon and Jenny Lee.

We are thrilled that four of our Year 13 students have recently gained offers from ‘Elite’ USA universities.
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.
