Embracing the culture and traditions of our host country Vietnam: Moon Festival 2024

Last Tuesday 17th September our Early Years and Primary students and staff excitedly came together to celebrate Moon Festival. Also known as Mid- Autumn Festival and ‘Tết Trung Thu’ in Vietnamese, Moon Festival is a significant cultural event in Vietnam. It’s held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the year. This is also one of the highlights of international school life here at BIS HCMC as we value and respect the significance and embrace the culture and traditions of our beautiful host country, Vietnam.

As we reach the end of the first half-term of the 2022-2023 academic year, it provides us with an opportunity to reflect on what we have accomplished over the last two months. We are also coming to the end of our focus on ‘Care’, so in assembly this morning, we took time to think about how much care we have seen at the Early Years and Infant Campus since the start of the year.

One of the reasons that BIS is such a great place to learn is because there is such a strong sense of community. The pandemic has forced many information sessions to be online, but as we now learn to live with Covid, it has been super to see so many parents join us on campus for the three coffee mornings held across the primary campuses this week.

After two long years of the pandemic, there are signs that we are returning to a state where we can re-engage with the activities that we previously took for granted; international travel, going to work or school if you are healthy (not having to isolate because you are a close contact of someone who is not well), celebrating family events together, etc. We are hopeful that school events will also be able to resume.
