World Children’s Day at BIS Hanoi not only celebrated children’s rights but also empowered students to take action, proving that their voices and ideas are instrumental in shaping a brighter, more inclusive future.
On August 9th and 10th, led by Pham Bui Gia Khanh, Nguyen Khanh Linh, and Hoang Thai Anh (now in Year 12 at BIS Hanoi), the Chalk Road project team, consisting of 23 members who are high school students from BIS Hanoi and various schools in the city, successfully organised a series of extracurricular activities with the theme "Connect to Empower" for 1,400 students at Thanh Kim Primary and Secondary School in Thanh Hoa Province.
BIS Hanoi students, Katie, Julie and Nguyen Anh from Year 11, attending annual Summit to develop creative solutions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
In honour of World Children's Day, our students took a proactive approach to amplify the voices of whole school students and shed light on the "rights of children".
On Tuesday, I had the privilege of taking four BIS students to UNIS to take part in a Youth for Climate Action event. Ngoc Anh and Thanh Mai from Year 10 and our UNICEF ambassadors, Thu An and Angela from Year 12, worked with students from UNIS, HIS and Concordia.
A big congratulations to our students who took part in No Boarders MUN on the weekend of the 12th - 13th of September. This is the first online MUN conference with BIS students debating with delegates from 11 countries ranging from Europe to the United States of America.
Held this year from 11 to 17 July, student ambassadors at the Summit will demonstrate how their schools have made progress in addressing the SDGs as part of Nord Anglia Education’s annual Global Challenge.
Premium international schools group Nord Anglia Education offers a transformational education to students, which focuses not only on ensuring academic success but also on inspiring students to positively impact their individual communities and the world at large.
As part of Nord Anglia Education’s collaboration with UNICEF, students across the globe have been raising awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through projects at their schools. The SDGs are a collection of 17 goals set by the United Nations regarding social and economic development issues.
Each year, the capstone event with UNICEF is when students from Years 10-12 visit New York for the NAE-UNICEF Student Summit.
