Book Club - Novelicious

Secondary PTG Update: 29/09/2019 | British International School HCMC-secondary-ptg-update-29-09-2019-PTG_bookclub_onlinebannerresized

PTG Secondary is very excited to commence a book club for parents to participate in. This is a fantastic opportunity to get to know about books across different genres and be able to interact and share ideas amongst our international population. We have our first meeting planned very soon. 

Huma mother to two high spirited boys at BIS moved to Vietnam from Pakistan in May 2018 hoping to make it a home for her little family. Her transition from having a full-time Human Resource career to a happy stay-at-home mum has made her re-discover her childhood passion for reading. This, coupled with her desire to grow her global family, makes her very excited to take up this task. She is looking forward to exchanging books and views with all who would like to join her on this journey.

Parents from Secondary campus of BIS HCMC are welcome to join this club.

Please write to our book club co-ordinator Huma Jaudat at huma.jaudat@gmail.com if you are interested to be a part of it.
