Sports Success!

Last Saturday three teams of our senior students played their end of season HAC football tournaments, under trying conditions, at various schools around the city to represent the Dragons. The KS4 girls played a round robin style tournament with all the games being very close. A number of draws, a penalty shoot out and a spectacular headed finish from Vu Chuc An closed out a difficult but thoroughly rewarding learning experience on the field. The girls stuck to their task and were the very epitome of resilience and perseverance.

The KS5 boys competing at the very highest level of football that HAC has to offer fell short at the semi final stage after a hard fought win against Olympia in the first round. Wide pitches, hot and humid conditions and a very good RGSV team were a step too far for the boys on the day. We would like to take the opportunity to recognise and thank all of the year 13s that took to the pitch for their final time in a Dragons jersey - you will be missed next year!

Student Highlights & Success Stories (13/04 - 17/04/2026) | BVIS Hanoi - Weekly Updates 17-04-26

The KS4 boys had an equally trying morning, but after a physical and hard fought game against a very well organsied RGSV team the boys managed to scrape through the semi final and into a rematch of last years final against Olympia. At this stage the heat was such that the game was modified with added water breaks and shorter halves. The final saw some excellent football played and to their credit the Dragons saw out a calm and composed 1-0 win, bringing home back to back JV football championships. Well done and congratulations to all involved.

This week saw the 3v3 Finals Day take place on Wednesday with both KS3 and KS4/5 Finals taking place. After 7 weeks of intense action each Wednesday and Friday lunchtime, it was time to crown this year's champions. With many people in attendance to watch, the atmosphere was electric and all players raised their game for the occasion. In both the KS3 and KS4/5 Finals, the games were extremely close and could have been won by either team, but ultimately there can only be one winner. Congratulations to all students who have participated in the 3v3 Basketball competition this term, it has been excellent to see a high level of sporting competition as well as our BVIS school values in action.
