Language barrier is one of the top concerns of students transferring from high school to studying international programs such as IGCSE and A Level. How can they integrate into an environment where learning is mostly in English?

On November 26 afternoon, Green ID Vietnam spent a great time with BVIS Hanoi students with games and challenges about green energy and clean air. This meaningful activity aims at raising student awareness about the importance of applying sustainable energy to schools, households and providing students with basic information about the Green School Programme which encourages students to speak and take action for a green future.

'It was clear that all the students took away something from the experience. It was more than just a sore thumb and aching muscles. They left Tanzania with a new set of skills, developed their problem-solving, experienced cultures that were nothing like they had seen before, made a lot of new friends and, most importantly, impacted on the lives of people who remain less fortunate than themselves' - Gareth Owen, Head of Learning Support (BVIS Hanoi) shared about the student expedition trip to Tanzania 2018.

Previously, the path to achieve outstanding results in such examinations as A-Level or IGCSE was a significant challenge for most students born in the 1970s and 1980s who dreamed of studying abroad. Nowadays, young people demonstrate their confidence and high academic level successfully negotiating examination demands with flying colours. Common features among these young people is their ability to identify passion, to master the pressure of getting high scores and their openness to receive and exchange support from teachers and family.

All secondary students BVIS Hanoi took part in our second Enrichment Day of the academic year on November 13th. For this day we focused on the Nord Anglia Education Global Campus, Global Challenge which focuses on the importance of Sustainable Development Goal #4- Quality Education. As staff we were all inspired by the promise our students showed today future leaders. It really was a fabulous day!

On Thursday we welcomed our Year 6 students into the Secondary school as part of our ongoing transition programme to help the Primary students get used to working in the next phase of their educational journey. Like last year we had the Year 6 and 7 students working together on a global challenge day focusing on the UN Sustainable Development Goal of gender equality.

Well, we have finally come to the end of our first term of the year. What a term it has been, and what a final week as well! On Monday, we had our annual sports day; the entire school at the My Dinh stadium track for a day of track and field athletics, plus some good old fashioned tug of war! It was a wonderful occasion with some fine performances from all who took part in the cold, damp conditions.

We were all left wanting more after the amazing performances from our students in this year’s musical production of ‘Oliver’ From song and dance to London accented acting, we were dazzled by the cast who transformed our auditorium in Hanoi into the grim streets of 19th Century London.

We talk a lot about giving students the skills they will need to be learners throughout their lives and not just when they are at school. I hope that the experiences they have in school will enable them to always be curious, always want to enquire and find out more and always want to learn.
