It was an early start on Saturday morning for nearly 50 students and 30 adults from across our BIS community as we held our first ever BIS Triathlon.
A triathlon is a race combining 3 types of aerobic exercise – Swimming, Cycling and Running. Participants had 2 courses to choose from:
|
|
Swim |
Bike |
Run |
|
SHORT COURSE |
200m |
5k |
1.5k |
|
STANDARD COURSE |
500m |
10k |
3k |
Individuals were able to complete the course by themselves or as a team. Regardless of distance or category there was a fantastic atmosphere of fun, challenge and encouragement across all six races.
Well done to all who competed and a huge thanks to Eddies Diner and Rising Star Football Academy Vietnam, who donated prizes for the event. See the results below.

At BIS HCMC, leadership is more than just a title — it’s about inspiring others, fostering a sense of community, and embracing personal growth. This year’s Head Students, in Year 13, — Atom, JaeYeon, Tim, and Serena — embody these values with authenticity and dedication, each bringing their unique strengths, creativity, and passion to their roles.
We are thrilled to announce that a record three students from the BIS HCMC Class of 2025 have received offers from the University of Oxford, ranked number 3 in the world, and the University of Cambridge, ranked number 5 in the world. A huge congratulations to Quynh An, YeongSeo (Judy) and JaeYeon on their extraordinary achievement that sets a new benchmark for BIS students.
These achievements come as BIS students begin to secure outstanding offers from top universities around the world, including USA, UK, Australia and Asia and these numbers will only continue to rise as more decisions will be made over the coming weeks.
