BIS book week 2023: celebrating the authors of BIS HCMC

This week has been a fantastic celebration of reading and literature at BIS HCMC. Three campuses on Tuesday were flooded with Harry Potters, Big Friendly Giants, hiding Wallys Alices from Wonderland and countless more characters from the literary world as our students went all out for Book Character Dress Up Day. Most impressive of all though throughout book week, was the fantastic literary work of our BIS HCMC students. Secondary creative writing was available for all to read through student-curated magazines and even published books in our school library.
