With Term 1 soon coming to a close, we have been reflecting on the achievements of the last 15 weeks of schooling.

While the pandemic has brought many challenges, it’s also introduced a new wave of innovation, resilience and collaboration in education that could prove to be a permanent “great disruptor” to the sector.

At BIS Hanoi, while academic learning is important, and the students continue to progress and learn new skills through reading, writing, phonics, Maths, Science and topic lessons, we also understand the importance of the social and emotional well-being of our students.

This week we have begun the process of supporting the vaccination of our oldest students in school aged 15 – 18 years.

Teacher professional learning was the hot topic at BIS Hanoi this week, with all teachers participating in the 21st Century Learning Virtual Conference broadcast from Hong Kong.

The process of deciding what to do, and where to go, after graduating from BIS Hanoi should be a long-term, ongoing one. The University Guidance Counsellor is focused on giving BIS Hanoi students the right support and guidance as they negotiate what can be difficult decisions.

Every year in November, BIS Hanoi students come together to celebrate World Children's Day through a series of inspiring, student-led activities.

Ahead of World Children’s Day on November 20th, today BIS Hanoi Primary students took part in an exciting day of events and activities.

Today we are celebrating World Children’s Day across our school. For each of us, our childhood is such a critical and formative part of our lives that helps to shape who we are and the pathways we choose.

World Children’s Day was the focus this week, with engaging activities running through Form Tutor sessions and during assembly.

As part of their CAS project, our Year 13 students taught our primary pupils about the importance of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (or Global Goals).

One of the many wonderful benefits of being part of a global group of schools is that our students have access to an online platform called Global Campus.

Next Friday, we look forward to celebrating World Children’s Day in our classes and assemblies. Our students will be organising various aspects of the school day for us.

In assembly last week, we celebrated our commitment to the guiding principles of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), a qualification which provides the most globally aware, forward-thinking, and academically rigorous high school certificate internationally.

While our students have been learning virtually, we’ve taken the opportunity to upgrade and add to the existing state-of-the-art facilities at our learning campus.

The University Counselling department at BIS Hanoi is organising and running university webinars throughout the academic year, in collaboration with our Nord Anglia sister schools in Vietnam.

Our teachers are always innovating and looking for new ways to enhance learning and opportunities for the students.

Over the summer and early part of this term, our campus maintenance team along with various external contractors have been installing and upgrading various parts of the school. Most of these are now completed and we wanted to share them with you to give you a foretaste.

As a school we are well prepared to provide information, guidance, and support to students during this time.

Excitement in the Performing Arts department reached new heights this week thanks to a range of fascinating activities - including a special dance workshop with Juilliard specialist Hilary Easton on Tuesday, and an invitation to this year’s Virtual Young Musician of the Year.
