Dear Parents,
I would like to formally introduce myself to you as the new Principal of BIS HCMC. I have over 35 years’ experience in education, with over 31 years in Senior leadership roles. I have worked in the UK, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, Thailand and Vietnam. My most recent role was as Principal of BIS Hanoi, our sister school in the North of Vietnam.
I am thrilled to be leading such an established and high achieving school. Once again, this year’s examination and assessment results are outstanding both in the Primary and Secondary school. Some schools like to ‘sell’ themselves as creative and innovative rather than with a focus on academic results. It is clear to me that BIS HCMC can rightly claim to be creative, innovative and still produce outstanding academic results. Our students are totally committed and are cared for by staff who facilitate innovative situations that allow your children to flourish as individuals. Our IGCSE and IB results place us as the highest achieving school, not only in Vietnam, but within the Nord Anglia Group of schools. Indeed, our results place us on a par with the very best International schools worldwide.
Whilst the school is in a very strong position, I pledge to work hard with the BIS community to ensure that we go from strength to strength in our development. We will not sit back and just admire our achievements. As a school, we are on a continuous journey to improve and to ensure that we give our children the best opportunities possible.
I am looking forward to meeting many of you in the coming months.
Yours sincerely
Mr Anthony Rowlands, Principal
We are thrilled to announce that a record three students from the BIS HCMC Class of 2025 have received offers from the University of Oxford, ranked number 3 in the world, and the University of Cambridge, ranked number 5 in the world. A huge congratulations to Quynh An, YeongSeo (Judy) and JaeYeon on their extraordinary achievement that sets a new benchmark for BIS students.
These achievements come as BIS students begin to secure outstanding offers from top universities around the world, including USA, UK, Australia and Asia and these numbers will only continue to rise as more decisions will be made over the coming weeks.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 11 class of 2024, for their impressive IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) results. This incredible cohort of 155 students, our largest IGCSE class in the history of the school, have significantly surpassed UK and international averages and were awarded 97% of all grades at A*-C. An incredible 62% of all grades awarded were at A*-A.
