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.
In March our Junior and Secondary coders took part in 2 coding challenges competing against schools across Asia. The first challenge hosted by The British School of Manila, saw our senior team succeeding with their lost and found organisation platform, whilst the Junior competition, hosted by BIS HCMC, saw our teams winning best presentation across KS2 and KS3. Read all about it and watch some of their amazing products that tackle local and global issues.
Last Sunday our BIS HCMC community was out in force turning Sala into a vibrant sea of red and Union Jacks! This was the return of the popular BritCham Charity Fun Run!
From sausage rolls to samosas, fairy bread to curry puffs, papaya salad to crepes, bubble tea to sushi, every taste was catered for once more at our Primary Global Café 2018.
On Wednesday 28th March 2018, our student-gymnasts represented BIS HCMC in the annual BIS Invitational Gymnastics competition. There were over 50 competitors from BIS, BVIS and ISHCMC performing in both floor and vault routines, levels ranging from 1-4.
As part of our coffee morning programme here on the Junior Campus, we were very happy to welcome 35 parents along to our Bring Your Own Device – Laptop (BYOD) information session.
