Pick the first 3 words you think of when I say Vietnam
Exciting, bustling, hot
What are your first impressions of BIS?
The children are so friendly and enthusiastic which is brilliant. What I’ve been most surprised about is their manners as so many of them are very polite. The staff have also been very supportive and I feel like I can turn to anyone if I have a question.
What new experience have you had since you arrived in Vietnam?
Running on roads and having to avoid a lot of obstacles. Traffic over here is very different to the UK and even in Thao Dien, which is quiet in comparison to District 1, I have had to run around more scooters than I have ever seen before. It’s giving me much greater spatial awareness!
If you were writing a postcard to friends back home, what would it say?
Hi everyone, Ho Chi Minh City has been great so far. It’s been hot but I’ve managed to cope! I went on a holiday to Hoi An last week where I rode a water buffalo and chilled out in a hammock by the beach. I’m looking forward to seeing you all at Christmas!
We are incredibly proud to announce that our class of 2024, with a cohort of just over 102 students, have achieved outstanding IBDP results, significantly outperforming all IBDP Global averages. Once again, the hard work, commitment, skills, and attitude of our students has been recognised with stunning academic results that place them among the very best worldwide. These results now provide our students with an astounding choice of some of the top universities worldwide.
Every year BIS HCMC takes students from across several year groups, in Primary and Secondary to the FOBISIA Friendly Games, held near Pattaya in Thailand. This provides our young athletes with the opportunity to compete at a high level against other British International Schools across Asia in athletics, basketball, football, swimming and T-ball as well as form global friendships with their peers throughout the region.
Last month we were proud to have three student ambassadors attend this year’s NAE-UNICEF Student Summit, hosted for the first time ever in Houston, Texas from 12 to 19 June 2024. The event was hosted at Nord Anglia’s two schools in the city: The Village School and the British International School of Houston. Houston was chosen as the ideal location for the Summit thanks to being the first officially recognised “Child-Friendly City” in the United States of America.
