On Saturday BVIS held our 5^th graduation ceremony. BVIS was very proud to have 33 graduates that are the first group of students that have been able to come the whole way through the secondary school.

They have developed so many of our traditions at BVIS and contributed to Sports Arts Theatre, Music, Community work and the outstanding Academic progress in the school.

There was a prize for the outstanding student in each subject and these were awarded to

Chemistry	LE, Ngoc Thien An
Computer Science	LAM, Tien Long

We also has some prizes for the outstanding overall achievement.

One of the key part of BVIS’s vision is to create truly bilingual students and therefore it is fitting that this year we have a BVIS Bilingual Award for the student who shows the highest levels of proficiency in both Vietnamese and English in their academics and in a variety of other situations such as performances, presentations and being involved in both competitions and cultural events. We were delighted to have Mr Deveney BVIS’s founding principal at the graduation to present this prize to NGUYEN, Khanh Ha

Mr Deveney then had great pleasure in presenting awards to 2 students who have shown their commitment to the school in a very wide variety of ways since BVIS opened in 2011.

Outstanding contribution to the performing arts	PHAN, Thien Nhan (Kiwi)
Outstanding contribution to school life	NGUYEN Ngoc Vi (Magda)

Both of these students have been at the forefront of school events, sports teams and in every other possible way since the school opened and it is only fitting to recognise their contribution.

The final prize awarded on the evening was the Principals Special Commendation to the student who most closely lives up to the schools aide memoire, showing the characteristics of Integrity, Respect, Caring, Enquiry, Reflection and Perseverance. This was awarded by Mr Holyome and the recipient of the award for 2018 was:
