INTERNATIONALLY-MINDED CITIZENS ACADEMIC SUCCESS CONFIDENT COMMUNICATORS WELL-BEING IN OUR COMMUNITY
Every November, the BIS Hanoi community comes together to celebrate World Children’s Day by turning our school blue (the colour of UNICEF). This year, although we could not physically unite in blue, we still stood together with the desire to bring about change and lead by example. From the 15th to the 19th of November, students in Primary and Secondary were involved in a diverse week of activities, prepared and led by our two UNICEF Ambassadors, Linh Dan and Gia Han in Year 12. Each day of the week, students were introduced to a different aspect of child welfare. The themes which were explored included ‘Health is Wealth’, ‘Playing your Part’, ‘No one is too small to make a change’, and ‘Masked Not Muted’.

WORLD CHILDREN’S WEEK CREATING A BETTER FUTURE FOR EVERY CHILD
On the Tuesday, many of our students took part in a content creation competition in which they highlighted a social issue of their choice. The incredible works that were submitted demonstrated great creativity, originality, and open-mindedness from the students. The entries took a variety of forms and included posters, video presentations, poems, music (including rap!) and different artworks. Students were also highly engaged in ‘Voices of BIS Youth’, a survey in which they shared their voices on issues that matter to them. Topics that were highlighted ranged from the importance of embracing different perspectives, to putting the right types of leaders in charge.
