Welcome
School has been a buzz of activity this week. It has been wonderful to welcome back students to AP2 and to welcome our newcomers in Year 7 and in other years. Today I had the pleasure of becoming re-acquainted with some new families at the PTG Welcome Back Coffee Morning, and catching up with parents returning after the summer break. I look forward to seeing more of you at the Information Evenings next week. If you have not received a letter by email with details of these events, please contact the school Office Manager, Huong Do (huongdo@bisvietnam.com).
Facilities
Students have been excited to see the new developments that took place over the break. Our newly expanded library is gradually filling with books and students and the Underground canteen has a brighter and cleaner feel with new floor, walls and ceiling. Another science laboratory has also been re-furbished and updated.
Prize Giving
In June we held our annual Prize Giving Ceremony. Photographs were taken by Mr. Adam Astely, our official photographer. These are available for download through the link in the email that came with this edition of BIZbuzz.
Key dates
In this BISbuzz you will find a summary of key dates for the year in a form that is easy to print out and pin up at home. Do remember that circumstances occasionally mean that we need to change and if that happens, the correct dates will appear on the front page of BISbuzz and in BISblog (http://richarddyerbisblog.blogspot.com/). Of particular note early this term are the Parent Information Evenings and the PTG Wine and Cheese Evening. I look forward to seeing many of you at these events.
Sleep
Those of you who know me will be aware that I am very fond of promoting proper sleep for teenagers. For many, the transition from summer holidays to the school week will involve re-adjusting to a different pattern of sleep. For those who missed last week’s BISBuzz, I am including this link again. Do have a look at this wonderfully stimulating and entertaining TED talk about the value of proper sleep for us all:
