BVIS Bilingual Poetry Performance Competition

The annual BVIS Bilingual Poetry Performance Competition in Secondary was successfully held on Wednesday 7^th June 2023. It provided an opportunity for talented poets from Years 7 to 9 to showcase their own works to their friends and BVIS teachers. 

To reach the final round, students went through two competitive evaluation stages, including the Class round and the Year Group round. The three best representatives from each Year Group were selected to participate in the final round for both the Vietnamese and English poetry categories. 

For the English poetry category, the themes for Year 7, 8, and 9 were "The Forest," "The Summit," and "The Future," respectively. As for the Vietnamese category, the theme was "Happiness." 

It is clear that each poem presented at the event reflected the creative and unique personalities of our BVIS students. 

This year’s event was a tremendous celebration of our students’ abilities, with each contestant giving it their all. The judges had to make some very difficult decisions but ultimately narrowed it down to one Year Group Winner and an overall Champion. 

Congratulations to all those who took part this year!
