From The Head Teacher









Chúc Mừng Năm Mới  

As we reach the end of the year of the dragon and prepare for the year of the snake, we are as busy as ever at the AP2 campus.

Music

This week in particular we celebrated our musical talent with performances by our IGCSE and IB Diploma Programme students who gave two wonderful performances of their examination pieces.
On Thursday, we held an informative University Information Evening for parents and students.  Going to university is an important step.  It's the first time our children as young adults go to live away from home, for many in a new country. It's the first time they have had such a wide choice of what to study; and it's a significant final step towards the rest of their lives.  It would be good to be confident that when they leave, they've made the right choice; i would be good to know that they are well prepared.

Universities

On Thursday we heard that we all have a part to play:  parents; teachers; and students.  We can all help by being armed with all the information we need, and by gathering all the support we can.
Aidan Crowley outlined the extensive and comprehensive guidance processes we run at BIS to help our students to prepare for applications for universities in the UK and the USA and how we work to enable students to access the very best universities and colleges.  We also heard from four of our Year 13 students who desribed their experiences in preparing for university applications. Rhianne Williams, Ashley Lee, Uyen Chau and Rosa Chung spoke eloquently and informatively about US and UK applications and emphasized the need to start early and be well organized.
If you planned to attend but couldn’t and would like more information, Mr. Crowley would be happy to send you the presentation details:  aidancrowley@bisvietnam.com
In closing, may I wish the whole school community and your families a wonderful new year of security, good health and prosperity. An khang thịnh vượng!
