Summary of Secondary news in week 1/February (AY 2022 - 2023)

It has been a great week. Please share with us the success of Ha Noi University Fair, the KS3 boys’ and girls’ Basketball matches and the rehearsals for the School Production:

At BVIS, students are prepared for the application to university very soon, since their Year 11 or 12. This partly explains why 100% BVIS students are welcomed by international schools.

This year, we have explored a wide range of processes in Art across all year groups.

We only have five weeks until the end of the school year, but, as in all schools, the last few weeks are full of exciting events.

At the end of a very long term, it was wonderful to see so many talented musicians in our annual music competition. The standard of finalists was higher than ever before and I am so pleased that I wasn’t one of the judges who had the unenviable job of choosing a winner from each category.

Our annual school musical was the Broadway classic “Little Shop of Horrors”, which proved a huge, ‘monster’ hit on the BVIS stage!

"After 6 hours of walking through the Sapa countryside, the groups started to arrive at the campsite and began to put up their tents. Some students were also brave enough to go for a little dip in the river to cool down from the day’s trek". This wonderful experience in beautiful nature of Nam Cang, Sapa was just a part of the amazing story about the Bronze Duke Edinburgh trip (DofE) told by Jason Lincoln, the Humanities and EAL Teacher of BVIS Hanoi.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank parents and students that were able to attend the Year 11 and Year 9 options evenings over the past week at BVIS. I hope that you found the information you received useful in helping you make informed choices.

Hanoi, November 20 - The BVIS Hanoi’s IGCSE Certificate Presentation Evening taking place in the UK Embassy in Hanoi was an event of honour to celebrate the success of BVIS students after the IGCSE examination. The IGCSE certificate is not only a reliable recognition for student academic results, but also a high-profile guarantee to world-leading universities.

On 14th November, we were privileged to welcome Prof. Paul Jensen, Deputy Dean in the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Melbourne, to deliver a masterclass in ‘Innovation and Public Policy’. Our students witnessed first-hand the format and atmosphere of a university lecture, helping them appreciate what to expect when they enrol in their course at university.

Walking around and popping into many lessons this week, it is wonderful to see the students settled in to their learning, and I am seeing many terrific lessons, full of curiosity, challenge and engagement. It is great to see and I’d like to thank all of our teachers for making the start of the school year so smooth and welcoming for all our students.

I hope that you all had a wonderful summer. The holiday ended on another high this year with the release of the IGCSE and A Level exam results.
