Mr Anthony Rowlands: Weekly Update 25/08/17

It has been an exciting few weeks for me as I adjust into my new role as Principal of the British International School, Ho Chi Minh City.

Firstly, meeting new teachers as they arrived at the airport full of anticipation and enthusiasm  for their new postings . Then, meeting all the BIS HCMC  staff for the first time and getting to know them in school and at various social functions. This week, the focus has been on students and parents. I have attended whole school assemblies at each of the three campuses and had the opportunity of introducing myself to the students. I have also attended two parent Coffee Mornings  at the TX and  AP campuses.

Each one of these experiences has been very special. They have made me realise that a very unique  and vibrant community  exists at BIS HCMC. It is  evident that there is a feeling of  great  happiness at the school and  I have to say, I already feel a part of  BIS HCMC due to such a warm welcome from everyone. The key objective now is to settle all the students back into school life and for me to get to know the school community better in the coming months. There is no doubt that this is a wonderful school and all of us here are certainly committed to ensuring its continued development and success.

I would like to wish you all a most pleasant weekend.

Mr Anthony Rowlands, Principal
