Pick the first 3 words you think of when I say Vietnam...
Colour, bustle, adventure.
What are your first impressions of BIS HCMC?
On my very first visit to BIS HCMC, I had the impression that the school was attractive and well-resourced and that the children seemed to be happy and having fun - and I was correct! The children are positive, ready to learn and always friendly and polite. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and relaxed but everyone here is very professional and always busy and hard at work. I knew immediately that I’d made the right decision to relocate here - I am thoroughly enjoying my first term.
What new experience have you had since you arrived in Vietnam?
I went to a Vietnamese cooking school in District 1 recently and had a wonderful day cooking traditional dishes. I learned to make a number of dishes including banana flower salad, Banh xeo and Goi cuon. I have also visited the Museum of Traditional Vietnamese Medicine which was fascinating.
If you were writing a postcard to friends back home, what would it say?
Wish you were here! Vietnam is amazing. Everyone is friendly, the food is delicious and the excitement of a big city is beckoning. Come and join me on a Vespa tour around Saigon. Come diving in the waters off Nha Trang and join me on a day’s tour of the Mekong delta. Why aren’t you here already?!
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.
