Weekly update from Head of Primary

Dear Parents,

10 years of excellence at BIS

In our 10th anniversary year, we have lots to celebrate at BIS. We have now been practicing excellence, enhancing our provision, and continuing to raise attainment for 10 years! We are extremely proud of our amazing students, who never fail to inspire us. They rise to the challenge, always try their best, and understand that mistakes and failure are part of the learning process.

This year has been incredible, returning to campus for a full academic year has brought so much joy. It has filled our cup and reminded everyone of the importance and impact of face-to-face learning. I am still excited by parents coming into school, residential visits, and all the co-curricular activities our students get to take part in every week.

A particular highlight has been the planning of day trips to enrich the children’s learning and broaden their experiences. This week on Tuesday, two big double-decker buses arrived outside the EYC and BIS, ready for our Year 1 children. As part of their curriculum topic, they went off to explore a variety of buildings around Hanoi. They have a fantastic time looking at the Pagoda, the Cathedral and other cultural highlights in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. They were brilliant ambassadors for our school, demonstrating excellent behavior. Well done, children!

As part of mental health week, there have been a variety of activities taking place throughout the school, and it is important to remember that our mental health is as important as our physical health. Movement and exercise have been repeatedly shown to have a positive impact on our wellbeing and minds, so let’s all keep up and commit to daily activities to ensure we stay healthy.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, and I hope to see you at our Community Flea Market on Saturday!

Kind regards

Rebecca Carroll 

Head of Primary
