Ken's IB Story

How would you describe your time at BIS HCMC?

It was a pleasant change of pace when compared to my prior experience in schooling. I quite enjoyed how students are handled here – it’s much less stressful, but it did take a while to get used to.

How did you find the IB Diploma Programme?

I say this in retrospect but it wasn’t as bad as I expected, somehow. It was definitely challenging though. There were a lot of assignments and assessments as well as extra-curricular activities.

In what ways do you think your education at BIS HCMC prepared you for your future?

I suspect the ILS lessons will probably come in handy in the future. University will presumably require large volumes of text processing and generation so the EE for example will probably be helpful.

What would you say to your teachers who supported you through your education at BIS HCMC?

As a general response, the tone would revolve around heartfelt gratitude.

What are your plans for the future?

I’d like to go to university. I haven’t applied yet but Melbourne would be ideal. After that, I’m not so sure.

Do you have any tips for other students doing the IB Diploma?

If you simply put in the time and effort, it’s possible to get a good grade.
