Welcome back to the first Weekly Highlights of 2024 and the first of this new school term. I trust that you all have had a great break – wherever this was, either in the city or further afield.

For Bao Quyen (or BQ), a Year 10 student at BVIS, the week-long trip to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was truly a memorable highlight of 2023 - all thanks to the collaboration between the Nord Anglia Education organisation and MIT.

"Like coming home" is the shared sentiment of BVIS alumni from various graduating classes who participated in the Alumni Reunion event last week.

As we come to the end of what has been an extremely busy and successful Term 1, I want to again challenge your thinking and encourage you to reflect.

This week the whole of Upper Primary came together in their house teams – Dalat, Hanoi, Hue and Saigon – to compete in the annual Sports Day led by our PE department.

Our Secondary Sports Day unfolded with zeal this Tuesday at District 8 Stadium, showcasing lively competitions among BVIS students in events such as long jump, shotput, javelin and tug of war."

The Mamma Mia high school musical has captured the attention of a diverse audience, including art enthusiasts within and beyond the BVIS community.

We would like to expresses gratitude to all families for participating, accompanying, and understanding together with the students in various exciting activities aimed at environmental protection during the Exit Point of the "Climate Change" topic in the International Primary Curriculum this week!

Thank you once again for engaging and connecting with our school community via the Weekly Highlights. This will be the penultimate edition before the end of this academic term.

Participating in the Oceanman World Final Championship in Phuket, Thailand, alongside 1,500 athletes from 72 countries worldwide, two students from BVIS, Bao Chau (Year 8) and Vuong Khoi (Year 6), continued to excel and significantly contributed to the overall achievements of the Vietnamese swimming team.

The ‘Year 1 starts Christmas’ is a wonderful gift that our students and teachers have dedicated to the BVIS families and community as the warm festive season is about to begin.

This week, all of our Christmas decorations were put up across both Primary and Secondary, bringing the season of goodwill closer to us all.

Being successful is an important aspect in all our lives, however what does it mean to be successful and how can we encourage our students across each age group to understand what is meant by success?

Storytelling is a great bonding experience and a fantastic way to develop children’s early literacy, critical thinking, cognitive and emotional skills. 

Together with friends worldwide, our young children at BVIS are always thrilled and excited whenever World Nursery Rhyme Week takes place.

It’s great to have you on aboard for another edition of our Weekly Highlights and this week, there has been much to celebrate across all year groups.

Visiting our BVIS library these days, you will be impressed by the vibrant decoration of the ceiling with numerous beautiful works of art.

Many thanks again for engaging and connecting with our school community through the Weekly Highlights – it's our pleasure to share with you the many events, successes and achievements that have taken place across our BVIS community this week.

Taking place from 13th to 17th November 2023, #LoveBVIS week is a great opportunity for our community to celebrate the love they have towards our school through meaningful actions.
