During our book celebration week there have been a variety of activities and events to get us all very excited about books! One event which has not only encouraged reading for pleasure but has also benefitted our wider community is the TX book swap.

On Saturday the 24th of September, 12 BIS Students participated in the Saigon Senior Logic Competition held at ISHCMC, where their logic and wits were tested to their limits.
