EYFS have been working with ‘Animal Rescue and Care’ as their community partner for a number of years. ‘Animal Rescue and Care’ is a charity organisation which rescues cats and dogs in need. They are based in Ho Chi Minh City and they provide medical treatment, vaccination and neutering of cats and dogs before working to rehome them. Crucially, they give love and attention to animals which have been abandoned and abused.
The aim of the partnership is to teach the EYFS children about animal care and how to approach dogs and cats safely. We even have some special animal visitors who come in to meet the children during the project! BIS HCMC have long been supporting this charity and parents and teachers alike have been known to volunteer at the centre by walking some of the dogs who are staying there.
This year’s EYFS family morning happened back in November and you may remember reading Ms Hayley’s blog post about the event. This followed another successful EYFS family morning last academic year. During the mornings, snacks and drinks were sold to fundraise for our community partner, ‘Animal Rescue and Care’. I’m very pleased to announce that over the two EYFS family mornings we raised 11,854,00 VND for ‘Animal Rescue and Care’ which is a fantastic amount of money! The money has been recently donated to ARC and I’m sure it will go far in helping the dogs and cats who are so desperately in need.
Thank you so much to all of the parents and children that were involved in fundraising for ARC. I found the quote below on the ARC website and it made me think about the values that we are trying to instil in the children at BIS. Through our community work, they are becoming active members of our community who believe that they can make a difference.

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.
