Dear Parents,
From all of us at the BIS Secondary Campus, we wish you and your families a happy and healthy year ahead. Chúc mừng năm mới!
It was fantastic to welcome Year 7 students to the campus this week and to provide them with an opportunity to socialise with others in the year group, discuss our protocols for Covid and tour the campus. We started the session by discussing our aims for the day and the challenges of this unique transition to secondary but also the added transition from virtual learning to face-to-face learning. Year 7 were then taken on a detailed tour of the campus by some of our Year 8 and 9 students which culminated in an opportunity to explore the school’s library and withdraw some books.
It was wonderful to witness the students slowly relax as the session went on and they certainly left looking confident, assured and happy about the prospect of learning on campus next term.

Yesterday saw thirty Year 12 Prefects descend on the Early Years & Infant Campus for the 2022 Prefect Training Day. Mr Ian, EY&I Headteacher, was quick to bring out the old Tu Xuong Campus Yearbooks to show the F1 photos of our now Year 12 Prefects. It is fantastic to see that so many of our students have grown up as part of the BIS community and are now taking on the role of student leadership. Students participated in escape room activities, learnt some leadership lessons from geese and shared lunch together as a new Prefect team. Students have now begun to undertake duties and will be taking the lead in student leadership committees focusing on academics, student wellbeing and Co-Curricular activities.
Tết is a very special holiday for the Vietnamese people. It is a time to celebrate the Lunar New Year together with family and friends. At BIS, we aim to make this holiday as joyful as possible for our community partners through the annual Tet Gift Collection.
Each year has been a tremendous success and this year is no exception. As always, we were overwhelmed by the collective efforts of BIS students, parents and teachers in working to collect necessities for this Tet Gift Collection.
Every campus had been allocated a different selection of goods to donate. At the Early Years campus, we received school supplies including colouring pencils, pens, pencils and notebooks. Meanwhile, the Primary campus had been assigned health and sanitation products such as soap, toothbrushes, toothpastes, hand sanitizers, shampoo and women’s hygiene products. Lastly, the Secondary campus was asked to collect donations of food including instant noodles, fish sauce, condensed milk, oil, rice, and sugar.
The ground floor of the third building in the Secondary campus was decorated with all these donated items, drawing the eyes of all students and teachers as they passed through the area.
The BIS Community Committee would like to again thank everyone who donated to the Tet Gift Collection for you have contributed to brightening up the holiday for our community partners, which is much needed considering the challenges faced by all last year.
On behalf of the BIS Community Committee, Chúc Mừng Năm Mới!
As we look forward to welcoming students back to campus on Monday 14th February. Please be reminded of parent actions required:

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.
A whole world of possibilities awaits our graduating class of 2023.
