BVIS HCMC shortlisted in the Safeguarding Initiative for the 2021 International School Awards!

The International School Awards celebrate learning, teaching, community, wellbeing, leadership and strategic initiatives at international schools. They provide the opportunity for international schools to share best practice, creative endeavours, community participation and innovation.

BVIS HCMC is one of the 44 shortlisted entries out of 264 eligible applications that were received this year from international schools in 62 countries. The judges considered the range of applications to be exceptional, particularly so considering the challenges for schools throughout 2020!

Taking our school’s best practice approach, we worked with over 80 local High School Principal and members of DOET, providing bespoke and up to date training for them to take back into their own schools. The impact of this initiative has been principally on the community in Can Tho City, who now have a greater awareness of how to safeguard children and additional skills to adapt and implement in their own settings based upon the exemplary work carried out at BVIS.

Out of the 12 award categories, a Nord Anglia Education School has been shortlisted in 8, further highlighting the high standard and excellent educational quality on offer within our school family. BVIS HCMC would like to offer our congratulations to all shortlisted schools across our family, in particular our sister school BIS HCMC for being shortlisted in the 3 separate categories.

Winners of the 2021 International School Awards will be announced and recognised at a virtual awards ceremony on Monday 18th January 2021. Look out for more updates from us in the upcoming time!
