On Friday 7th December, 22 students departed Ho Chi Minh City to represent the BIS Barracudas at the Bangkok Feeding Frenzy.
The Bangkok Feeding Frenzy is a prestigious event on the swimming calendar. To attend this meet, students have to achieve set qualifying times to be eligible for entry. The event is hosted by Bangkok Patana School and it attracts the highest level athletes from International Schools throughout Asia.
The event this year consisted of 17 schools with over 500 participants. Throughout the meet 120 new records were achieved, which highlights the level of competition experienced at the 2018 Feeding Frenzy.
The BIS Barracudas finished the meet with 10 Individual Medals; 1 Gold, 5 Silver and 4 Bronze. The 9-10 Boys also achieved a Bronze Medal in the 200 Freestyle Relay. Of the 218 events that the BIS students participated in, 75 top 10 finishes and 138 Personal Best times (Pb’s) were achieved. This is an outstanding result from the BIS Barracudas.
The student, parents and coaching staff represented BIS HCMC to an outstanding level both in and out of the pool, demonstrating sportsmanship through perseverance, respect and integrity. All students and parents are to be congratulated on their hard work and dedication not only at the meet, but the months of preparation prior to competition. Thank you kindly to Mr Alastair Thom and Mr Vinh Nguyen who were outstanding in supporting students and parents throughout competition.

Joining BIS HCMC in Foundation Stage 2 (F2) is a fantastic age to begin a lifetime love for learning, encouraged and nurtured by our experienced and committed class and specialist teachers, who personalise learning unique to every child. We look back at what our F2s have experienced in less than one term already at BIS HCMC.
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.
