The Secondary Campus International Day is on Friday 18th October 2019. With only 6 weeks to go and lots to prepare, we know that many of you are already thinking about what your Country will share this year.
There will be an International Day planning meeting on Wednesday 18th September at 8.30am to help prepare for the day.
Everyone is invited and we hope to see as many parents as possible at this first meeting, bring your friends, bring your ideas and bring your questions.
We will share a brief outline of the plans for this year’s exciting event and we want to hear from you about your ideas and plans so that we can prepare yet another incredible BIS International Day.
World Clean Up Day 2019 - Saturday 21st September

We're hosting our second annual World CleanUp Day Event on Saturday 21st September between 8.45 and 11.30am and we'd love for you to join us. At BIS we believe in Thinking Global and Acting Local, and cleaning up our area of Thao Dien is just one small pledge that we have made as part of the CleanUp Vietnam initiative. If everyone in our community takes part then just think of what can be achieved!
Not only will you be doing your bit towards cleaning up our planet you'll also gain House Points for participation which count towards the House Points total for the year. In fact, the more family members and friends you bring along, the more points you'll receive.

The clean-up will be managed in small teams with a staged leaving time:

Please note: we have a small number of clean-up kits available to borrow, however we strongly recommend that you bring your own gloves (gardening style, not plastic or rubber) and tongs for picking up the rubbish.
Children from our Primary Campuses must be accompanied by an adult. Though we have a number of BIS staff attending the event they will be taking part in the event themselves.

We look forward to seeing you on the 21st!
