It has been a wonderful half term in Phase Two and the children have impressed us all with their perseverance, resilience and independence in our Virtual School Experience.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
