Our Community Service Projects are an integral part of school life at BIS HCMC so this year we’ve placed a special focus on all aspects of ‘community’ for our annual Christmas BISzaar.
In addition to our usual festive programme, we will be celebrating the achievements of our BIS community with music and dance performances from our students as well as highlighting the work we do in our wider community with over 25 stalls dedicated to Community Service at BIS:
