A warm welcome to everyone once again to the 2014-2015 school year. We had a wonderful all school opening assembly on Wednesday morning when the ceremonial drum was hit by the oldest and youngest students in the school to announce the official opening of school and 1088 students marched off to class. This is a good time to once again thank the more than 60 parent volunteers (from 25 different nationalities) who came on orientation day to help with the 133 new families. I have had several new parents come up to me to thank us for such a supportive orientation and I was quick to respond that it was all about our returning parents coming to lend a hand along with our hard-working Advancement Office who has developed this orientation day so well over the years. I have received a few questions from returning parents about the security changes that have been instituted this year and that I mentioned in my message just before school began. The questions have centered around the reasons for these changes. Allow me to explain. Monitoring the safety and security of the campus is a daily part of our operation. From training and supervising the guards to the review of regulations and procedures, we are constantly working to keep our campus safe and secure. As we have worked on the campus development project over the last 2-3 years, we have sought the advice of the UN and Hanoi diplomatic community security offices to include enhancements to our campus safety and security as part of this project, especially with the expected changes surrounding our school with the new road and
shopping mall development. These plans will be implemented in the coming years. In the meantime, last spring the world of international schools was made aware of shocking revelations of child molestation perpetrated by some adults at these schools. Some of the incidences went back 40 years and occurred in international schools in places like Jakarta, Tokyo, and London. We have had NO evidence or reports of anything like this ever happening here at UNIS Hanoi. However, like most good international schools, we are using these revelations as a wake-up call to shore up all Child Protection regulations and procedures to ensure that we are doing all that we can to make sure that these kinds of activities never happen on our campus. As I said in my letter before school began, we remain committed to providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere here at UNIS Hanoi. But the realities are such that we must continue to balance that commitment with an even greater commitment to making sure that our children are safe and secure. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in the coming weeks at the various Back to School evenings and other presentations. In the meantime, feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions – hos@unishanoi.org Have a nice weekend. Respectfully, Dr Barder, Head of School
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I welcome both new and returning faculty, staff and families to the 2014-2015 School year. For those new to UNIS Hanoi, the Board has four main tasks: To hire, nurture and evaluate the Head of School who
is responsible for the day to day management of the School; To develop strategic plans, ensuring their implementation and monitoring progress; To develop and approve school policy; and To ensure the financial health of the School. Members of the UNIS Hanoi community are welcome to observe Board open session meetings. Meetings are listed in the School Calendar and in the Tin Tuc.
Governance documents as well as summaries of Board, committee and task force meetings can be found on the Board of Directors pages on the School Portal. Board members are unpaid volunteers. We rely on the additional volunteerism of parents and community members to serve on Board committees and task forces throughout the year. We are specifically looking for people to join the Finance Committee and the Strategic Management Plan Task Force. If you are interested in joining us, please contact Board Assistant Jennifer Sawyer at boardassistant@unishanoi.org. Best, Sarah Garner, Board Chair

I love Fridays. They provide a moment in time at the end of each week to reflect on all that has happened in the past five days in school and a time to contemplate what the week ahead might hold and what new goals we might set for ourselves. This week has certainly provided much to reflect upon. Monday was our final day of teacher development and preparation for the year ahead. Tuesday, we welcomed all the new students at the New Families Orientation event. Wednesday saw the launch of the new school year and the start of new friendships in our home rooms and across our grade levels. Thursday the children began attending specialist lessons PE, Art, Music, Dance/Drama, Languages and a sense of routine began to return. Friday we took time to reflect during assembly on our first three days in school and to think about the effect of change and transition as we officially welcomed all new students and staff and said farewell to two students who only learned over the summer break that they would be leaving Hanoi. Being reflective is one of the ten attributes of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Learner Profile.
“We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.”
Friday afternoon often provides reflection time through the themes addressed in G1-5 assembly. And the final period of the day on a Friday is dedicated to Personal, Social, Emotional Learning (PSEL) when students are given time to reflect on the past week and think about the week ahead. As well as reflecting on their week past, students at UNIS might reflect on their learning at the end of a task, a lesson or unit. The refection helps the teacher understand even more about the child as a learner and he or she can then plan learning interventions and provocations to match the level of the child’s understanding. The teacher uses the class blog to celebrate the learning of the past week and share the learning intentions for the week ahead so that children can discuss their learning and understanding with their parents and think ahead to the ideas that will be explored in class the following week. These opportunities to articulate their ideas, explain their thinking and perhaps demonstrate what they have learned to others can really help embed and extend their understanding of concepts. We recommend that parents take the time to read the class blogs and learn more about the world of the classroom to strengthen further the home school partnership this year. We look forward to working with you all this year. Kind regards, Carole Denny, esprincipal@unishanoi.org
Dear MS/HS Families, I am pleased to report that the 2014-2015 school year is off to a great start. The first day of school was a beehive of activity seeing old friends reunited and new friendships formed. There is definitely a positive “vibe” on campus with students and teachers eagerly looking forward to the excitement of the school year. Parents are often overloaded with information during the beginning of a school year. In this article I will keep new information to a minimum and focus on four important snippets that parents will find useful. Six day cycle of classes: The MSHS will no longer refer to days of the week (Monday – Friday) but rather Days 1 – 6. Switching to a numbered cycle helps smooth out time lost due to holiday and other school closures. MSHS Trip Week: The annual MSHS rite of passage will move from March to the week of September 22 – 26. One of the main reasons for offering grade level trips is to provide students with the opportunity to bond with classmates. Moving trips to September allows students to create bonds with classmates in the beginning of the school year. We hope that grade levels will return from trips with a greater sense of community which will heighten their interpersonal and educational experiences at UNIS. A September trip also enables grade 12 students to
participate. Participation in March trips was not possible for grade 12 students because they were too close to IBDP exams. Back to School Parent Night: Invitations will be sent out shortly but please set aside August 28, 18:00 – 20:30 for an opportunity to meet with teachers and find out more about the learning opportunities available at UNIS. Enhanced security: Please be aware that all campus entrances except the Main Gate will close at 08:20 each morning. The Main Gate will remain open throughout the school day and serve as the only campus entry point once school begins. MSHS students who arrive after 8:20 will be required to have their ID cards scanned at the Main Gate before entering campus. Students will then proceed to the MSHS Office to register for the school day. As we enter the new school year please take time to talk with your children about their classes, their dreams, desires, goals and wishes. Please support your child’s education by being involved and knowing which classes they are taking, who their friends are and what they aspire to become. Parents are a vital component in the educational process and your involvement is essential. Warm regards and best of luck in the 2014-2015 school year! Pete Kenedy, mshsprincipal@unishanoi.org

I have experienced a wonderful start for the 2014-15 UNIS Hanoi school year. I was given Thursday early morning duty at the back gate and getting to see all of the excited faces at the beginning of the day sets me up for success for the rest of the day.

Having a water bottle with them at all times and
refilling. Drink 2-4 cups of water every hour while exercising. Wear a hat. Wear sunscreen to prevent sun burn
CLEAN HANDS SAVES LIVES! Washing hands with soap and clean water and drying with a clean paper towel is No 1. This year at UNIS we have decided to trial a hand sanitizer in the ECC and ES. We are encouraging our students with the supervision of the teachers to use before school and before and after lunch! Keeping hands clean is one of the most important things we can do to stop the spread of germs and stay healthy.
COVER YOUR COUGH We encourage students to cover their cough with the inner elbow rather than into the open air or into a hand. This is recognized as a sure way to stop the spread of germs. School Health Centre nurse@unishanoi.org
Beginning Monday, August 18, I will be completing hearing screenings for all students in Discovery, Kindergarten 1, Kindergarten 2, Grade 1, and Grade 2. The ability to hear properly is an important component in developing speech and language skills and for learning in general. As such, early detection of hearing loss is vital so that each child is able to get the full benefit of language learning experiences both within, and outside, the classroom. The most common cause of hearing loss in children is otitis media (glue ear). Fluctuating hearing loss nearly always occurs with otitis media, whether or not the fluid is infected, due to the anatomy of the middle ear and the Eustachian tube. A build-up of fluid in the middle ear prohibits the movement of the bones which transmit sound from the ear drum to the inner ear. Ongoing fluid in the middle ear can cause permanent hearing loss. The hearing screening is not a full audiological test which measures the softest sounds you are able to hear. The screening test measures whether or not you are able to hear at a level necessary to hear the sounds used in spoken language. Three sounds (low, medium, and high pitched) will be presented in each ear at the same loudness level. The majority of children will not have difficulty hearing all six tones and these children will be considered to have passed the screening. You will not receive individual notification that your child has passed the screening. You will however receive notification when your child’s class has completed the screening. If your child does not hear one or more of the sounds, you will be notified individually and one to two weeks later, your child will be re-screened. Following the re-screening, you will be notified if your child passed the screening or not.
25dB
Right
Left
1000Hz 2000Hz 4000Hz
It is possible that your child may not have been able to hear all the tones even during the re-screening. If this is the case, you will be asked to have your child’s hearing tested by an Audiologist or Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor (ENT) and to provide the school with a copy of the report. The school is able to provide referrals to community resources where the hearing test can be completed. I look forward to meeting with all the new children from Discovery to Grade 2 over the course of the next couple weeks. Please be in touch if you have any questions or concerns either prior to the screenings or after. Mary Pool, Speech Language Pathologist mpool@unishanoi.org
The School Health Centre is now able to perform vision screenings if there is a concern brought up by teachers or parents. This screening may indicate the further need for the student to be seen by an Optometrist for further evaluation.

You’ve asked for them… We’ve collected your ideas… And now we present to you…
We aimed to capture the SPIRIT and STRENGTHS of the BUFFALO, EAGLE, LION and TIGER in these fierce new animal designs which have been inspired by the feedback of approximately 400 MSHS students and members of the UNIS Hanoi community along with many insightful ideas from the ES Student Council!
that the 330,000VND price also represents a significant increase in quality and comfort! We have seen the enthusiasm in the students this week as they have been proudly wearing their new House Animal T -shirts! And parents have been queuing up in hordes at the SCO Boutique to purchase the new House T-shirts! Please note: Students can still wear their old House Shirts to PE. Now it’s time for the TIGERS, LIONS, EAGLES and BUFFALOES to RALLY UP those HOUSE POINTS!
We would like to especially recognize Jed Edwards and Michael Emblem for their work during the Grade 10 Personal Projects last year which reinvigorated the discussion to institutionally change the House Animal designs. New ‘Cool Dry’ Shirt Material: Over 90% of the community requested to have the shirts in the ‘Cool Dry Tech’ material. The shirts made with this special sports material will leave the students feeling cooler in this hot and humid weather and dry much faster than before! The price of the House Shirt is higher, but we can assure you
The SCO Boutique is urgently looking for parent volunteers to help operate the school store. Due to the popularity of the NEW House T-Shirts the Boutique is busier than ever before! We are looking for eager volunteers to help run the store! It’s a FUN way to get involved in the school and meet new people. We ask for your patience in this transitional time as our stock is selling out faster than expected and orders have already been placed for additional merchandise.
Currently the Boutique Hours for next week are:
Monday, August 18
8.30 – 9.30
Tuesday, August 19
9.00 -11.00
Wednesday, August 20 8.30 – 9.30 Thursday, August 21
8.30 -13.00 & 15.00 – 16.00
Friday, August 22
8.30 – 9.30
Returning students can still wear the House Shirts from last year or any UNIS Hanoi gear for PE.
Please note: this schedule is subject to change, please visit www.unishanoi.org/schoolstore for the most up-to-date hours. We are aiming to have a set schedule by the beginning of September.
The operating hours of the Boutique is dependent on the availability of parent volunteers.
If you want to be part of a dynamic team, why not get involved with the Boutique!
