A recap of the Bangkok Patana Feeding Frenzy 2022 and how our BIS Barracudas got on!

It is with great pride that we announce that 10 BIS HCMC students received Cambridge Assessment Outstanding Learner Awards for their exceptional achievements in IGCSEs in 2022.

We are delighted to announce that BIS HCMC has retained the British Schools Overseas “Outstanding in Every Category” status following the, Penta International inspection of our school in November 2022.

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!

For the past 25 years, BIS has been based on a collective endeavour to innovate and evolve, and to build strong purposeful relationships across our community. In this spirit, it is with great pleasure that I share today’s update on an exciting and busy term ahead, including new parental engagement opportunities, our upcoming school inspection, exciting Performing Arts events and a major facilities development with our upcoming Auditorium refurbishment. We certainly have much to look forward to!

What a difference a year makes! This time last year, we were heading into Half Term albeit virtual.  Our community, like this year, were looking forward to the break from school but travel was still restricted and strict Covid protocols remained in place.

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.

Dear Parents and Students,   Over the years, our BIS International Day has been the occasion when the wonderful diversity and energy of our multicultural, international community is most clearly expressed. In typical BIS fashion, our students, parents and teachers came together today to make sure International Day 2022 was the biggest, boldest, most creative and colourful yet!

When you reflect on your own childhood and school experiences, what memories come to mind? Memories of fondness, pride or celebration? Or do you cast your mind back to moments of dread and embarrassment? Hopefully, it’s the former over the latter but whatever your personal experience back then, you understand the significance of positive school experiences for your learners now.

One of the things I love about the BIS HCMC Community is that although we are proud of what we do, and what we achieve - we are always looking for small ways to make what we do even better.
