Principal's Weekly Update (17 March 2023)

Principal's Weekly Update (17 March 2023)  | British International School Hanoi - Principal Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

Our whole school community celebrated the 2023 British Science Week with an action-packed week of science lessons and hands-on activities. The theme this year is 'Connections', which gives our students an wonderful opportunity to discover the different ways connections appear across all areas of science. The week literally ended with a bang in today's assembly (see image below)! A big thanks to our Science Department for putting together a fantastic showcase of live experiments. I am sure our students had lots of fun and were inspired by the amazing world of science.

This week we also welcomed many guest speakers and specialists coming to share some useful insights with our parents. As part of their annual visit to our school, Dance specialists from The Juilliard School, Ms Salla Saarikangas and Ms Ashley Brown, led an interactive workshop for parents to discover the power of Dance in their child’s curriculum. Dr. Mattias from Family Medical Practice, delivered sessions in English, Korean and Vietnamese on the importance of sleep and its impact on children's learning and their cognitive and physical development. In addition, following the two recent successful sessions with our students and staff members, we also welcomed back Ms Ngoc Nguyen, author of the book "Weird Culture Kids", to talk about the nature and needs of third culture kids to parents as well as the importance of an inclusive, diverse and equitable culture for children.

Our busy week continues this weekend with the first in-person Model United Nations Conference hosted by our students. They will welcome almost 90 high school delegates from different international schools in the region. I am extremely proud of all their effort in organising this event and I hope it would be a wonderful experience for all.

Wishing you a great weekend,
