Recently, our school is buzzing with excitement, thanks to a wave of good news from our students as they received tremendous recognition from many renowned global competitions. In this article, let us celebrate the wonderful accomplishments of our BIS Hanoi’s students over the last few weeks.

First, congratulations to Gia Khanh (Year 9) on receiving the Hung King's Angel certification in the Future Eastern Stars Feast 2021. This certificate is given to her in recognition of her significant contribution to strengthening the Nation's Great Unity and promoting Vietnamese Cultural Values and Dignity. Her team also excelled in the debate contest, becoming one of the competition's champions.

Another heartfelt congratulations to Gia Han (Year 12), who competed in the World Schools Debate Championship (WSDC) in three consecutive years from 2019 and advanced to the partial double octo-finals with the Vietnam national team in this year's online competition. As the Co-founder of BIS Hanoi Debate Club, Gia Han’s outstanding debate skills also earned her several recognitions and awards including the 2nd Best Open Speaker, Quarterfinalist in Qatar International Schools Debating Championship 2021 and the Top 6 Adjudicator in Hanoi Debate Tournament 2021.

The Performing Arts department would like to congratulate Minh Khoi (Year 11) on receiving a distinction on his Grade 6 piano exam, a globally recognised qualification, with an impressive 96 percent. This award will be an asset in Minh Khoi's pursuit of his musical passion.

And finally, Junpyo (Eric) in Year 8 impressed us all by winning first place in two prestigious piano competitions: First Prize, Judges's Best Performance Awards in Junior Category (9-12 years old) in the Vienna Virtuoso Music Competition 2021 and First Prize in Category B (10-13 years old) in the Danubia Talents Liszt International Music Competition Online 2021.

Regardless the learning environment, virtual or face-to-face, our students never lose their enthusiasm for learning and are always looking for opportunities to demonstrate their progress and hard work. We, in turn, also ensure that our students are well-prepared for their future journeys through the flexible curriculum of our Virtual School Experience, our exclusive Global Campus platform, and our unique collaboration with renowned institutions including Juilliard, MIT, and UNICEF.

These incredible achievements are the result of the students' perseverance and determination. We are extremely proud of each and every one of you. Keep up the good work!
