Year 8 – Adventuring on Cat Ba Island
The Year 8 students made the most of their time on Cat Ba, engaging in a range of activities, including kayaking, orienteering, raft building, and rock climbing. Each activity tested their endurance and teamwork, and they supported one another with enthusiasm and determination. They also learned to appreciate the local environment, showing respect for nature in all that they did.
Tonight, they’ll enjoy a celebratory dinner at a local restaurant, followed by the much-anticipated talent show. Tomorrow, beach games and a final celebration will mark the conclusion of their adventure. The Learning Project and BIS staff are incredibly proud of the maturity and resilience Year 8 demonstrated throughout the trip.
Year 9 – Team Building in Vu Linh
Our Year 9 students immersed themselves in the natural beauty of Vu Linh. They began their adventure with a scenic boat journey, followed by building rafts as a team challenge. A 16-kilometer cycle ride and a 12-kilometer hike gave them the opportunity to appreciate Vietnam’s countryside. They also attended workshops on essential survival skills like map navigation, fire starting, and shrimp catching.
Staying in two scenic accommodations surrounded by water and lush landscapes, Year 9 students have had an incredible experience. They look forward to putting their raft-building skills to the test in a race before they leave.
Year 10 – Mountain Adventures in Da Lat
Year 10 spent their days in Da Lat, soaking in the fresh mountain air and participating in high-energy activities like hiking, stand-up paddleboarding, and high-rope courses. Throughout the trip, they forged new friendships, overcame challenges, and demonstrated a high level of maturity and camaraderie that made their teachers and school proud.
The students have created lasting memories and learned the value of resilience and teamwork. They’ll be cherishing their final evening together before heading back tomorrow.
