November 2022 Overview

Dear Friends,


November was bursting with meaningful activities aimed at developing academic and personal excellence, global understanding and respect – all of which are key components of our School’s Mission.


November’s Five Highlights include:

1.      Vietnamese Teacher’s Day Celebration

2.      School Trips

3.      Science and Technology Competition

4.      Cambridge Awards

5.      Britcham Fun Run


Check out the video below!

This month saw us connect as a community in meaningful events like Teacher’s Day to give thanks to our dedicated educators. We came together by the hundreds for the Fun Run to make a difference through charity and fitness. And we connected with business leaders from Astra Zeneca, Fram^, and Girls in Tech to give our students the best support for their Science and Technology projects.  


And we have a lot of exciting developments taking place at our school and more on the horizon.


Friday we have our school’s Christmas Bazaar from 4:30 to 7:00 pm. EMASI families can join some fun games, enjoy some food and buy goods from our school community.


From Monday we will begin to use our electronic gate to further reinforce the safety and security of our students. Families are reminded to bring their parent card when coming on campus as this will grant you access at pick up time.

I’m also thrilled to share with you the good news that EMASI schools will be launching the Cambridge IGCSE program for students in grade 9 in the 2023-2024 academic school year. More details of this exciting program will be shared soon. The Cambridge IGCSE program will provide another opportunity for our students to access the world’s best universities and is connected to our school’s mission of providing an outstanding education in English and Vietnamese.


As we approach the end of 2022, we have important milestones to achieve together.


Students have exams on the horizon and should begin to prepare.

 

Students will soon also be signing up for new extra-curricular activities in Semester 2 in our Personal Excellence Program. Families will be receiving a link to a Microsoft SharePoint in Semester 2 and will again use their child’s email account to help select their options. In Semester 2, students will choose options from four categories linked to our Mission Statement. These include: Athletics, Academics, Life Skills, and the Arts. The aim is to help our students become well rounded.


Families are reminded to collect their children from school before 5:30. Late pickup of students will entail a late charge.


I am always available to hear from you and to discuss any matters about our school. I am also happy to make time for appointments to meet you in person.
 

Yours in education,

Joshua James

Managing Director, EMASI Van Phuc
