From The Head Teacher
Chúc Mừng Năm Mới !
As we near the end of the Year of the Horse and look forward to the Year of the Goat, I would like to take
this opportunity to thank all parents for their support of the school over the past year. You have support‐
ed in so many ways. Whether it is a ending PTG events, helping with Interna onal Day, providing useful
construc ve feedback to us or a ending the many concerts, performances, compe ons and sports
events that we run, your help is much appreciated. You have made significant contribu ons to the school
and help make BIS the excep onal community that we all enjoy.
Of course, the greatest support you offer is the direct support of your children. Sending them to BIS is the
first step. A er that, you ensure that they have the right nutri on, sleep, exercise and love to enable
them to learn and develop and grow. You encourage and help with homework and show your interest
and involvement through a endance at the Parent‐Teacher‐Student Conferences.
It is said that people born in the Year of Goat are polite, filial and kind‐hearted. They are ar s c, wise,
gentle and compassionate but should be careful to avid pessimism. As such, these people would be fabu‐
lous supporters of their child’s educa on at BIS, and we extend our best wishes to the “goats” and to all
of our BIS community for a healthy, prosperous and peaceful Year of the Goat: Năm mới toàn gia bình
an!

The BIS Music Department’s IGCSE and IB students gave an evening of performances on the 10th
February
2015 as part of an in mate opportunity to perform their exam pieces.
Our Higher Level IB student, Emma Ngo gave a 20 minute voice recital, performing pieces such as O Waly
Waly (Tradi onal English Folk Song), Schubert’s Love’s Sorrow and a Vietnamese fusion piece Khong The
Va Co The.
The IGCSE students had the op on to perform either their ensemble piece or their solo piece for the
performance aspect of their exam. The IGCSE students offered a range of ensembles, from piano, clarinet
and voice solos to a double cello concerto, a piano duet and a jazz quartet.
Students were professional in their approach and audience members were engrossed by not only the
musical and stylis c performances heard but also the challenging nature of a wide range of repertoire
that was performed. The standard of all our musicians at BIS grows every year but last night the IGCSE
and IB students highlighted not only their talent but also their dedica on and love for the subject.
The Music Department would like to wish all the Year 11 and IB musicians good luck for all their
upcoming exams.
Please see our Music Department Website for further photos and a short video of the highlights from that
evening:

The Year 10s met early at school on Monday 26th
January, full of excitement for the adventures ahead on
Lantau Island, Hong Kong.
A er a smooth journey, we arrived at our excellent accommoda on, the YWCA, with the students se ling
into their rooms and exploring the site, and enjoying its picturesque views across the bay. We were
introduced to our trip adventure company, North Star, who took care of us so well and guided us with
exper se throughout the week’s varied ac vi es.
I was very proud of the whole year group during the en rety of this trip; all students commi ed to the full
range of ac vi es with unrelen ng enthusiasm, perseverance, and a keen sense of humour. Perhaps
more importantly, I was impressed by how well they cared for and encouraged one another, looking a er
the community, as well as strengthening and forming new bonds of friendship.
This trip offered mul ple opportuni es to for outdoor learning, including archery, climbing, trekking,
shelter‐building, stretcher‐making, stretcher‐racing (!), fire‐star ng and even a touch of fish‐gu ng.
North Star’s daily ‘survival lectures’ ensured that the students truly understood the value and use of the
skills which they were developing. The visit to the Big Buddha and accompanying nature trail also offered
some enlightening cultural and environmental experiences.
As always, the impact of a trip such as this is best described by the students who took part:
For the first half of the day, we did rock climbing and archery. Since these two ac vi es were very new to
me and therefore challenging, it felt great when I rang the finishing bell (at the top of the climbing wall)
and hit the bull’s eye with my arrows. (Nhi Dang, 10N)
For almost all of us, learning how to scale, gut and cook a fish was a tough challenge, but in the end we all
enjoyed the experience. We then went on a hike to Mui Wo beach where we had to make a stretcher and
run carrying three sandbags! To add to the excitement, we ended our day with a game of beach ul mate
Frisbee. Undoubtedly, today will be a day we will never forget, with the beau ful scenery and fresh air
that would have been impossible to get in the city. (Ha Thanh Le and Angela Kim, 10B)

Three of our Sixth Form students went along to Van Thanh Park to appear on
an HTV program about VinaCapital’s Heartbeat Vietnam Founda on. The
student‐led community programme supported Heartbeat Vietnam, which funds
life‐saving heart opera ons for the most financially disadvantaged children.
The documentary is due to be shown on HTV9 at
9am on the 23rd
February.
A er comple ng their community project we asked our
students for feedback on how they felt it went. As a group
they thought it was a wonderful experience and on
reflec on they made the following observa ons:
“Going to the hospital was really meaningful, to see those kids and keep them company and make them
smile we think made a difference. The hospital visit was very worthwhile and construc ve. We learnt a
lot from talking to the children and appreciated the efforts of the organiza on.”
The Sixth Form students involved in Heartbeat Vietnam
have raised awareness and helped in Vina Capital’s
