February 2023 Overview

Dear Friends,


This week I’m extremely pleased to share our Monthly High Five update with five highlights from our very full month of February.


It was a great month from start to finish and a great start to the year of the Cat.


Here are our five highlights for February:

1.      Boys’ Basketball Tournaments

2.      Shark Tank Competition with Business Leaders

3.      Meaningful Learning Activities in Elementary

4.      Student Academic Competitions

5.      Field Trip




Basketball Updates

Our EMASI Van Phuc community can celebrate the successes of our Boys Basketball Team led by their dedicated Coach Mr Sang. The team has made history for our school by winning the Thu Duc City Championship, competing in the HCMC Championship and this weekend winning a friendly tournament at Vinschool.


Not only have our players displayed great talent and commitment, but also inspiring sportsmanship. They have been respectful to all their opponents and have been winners both on and off the court. Well done team!

The A in EMASI is for ART

Nguyen Art Foundation Exhibit

As you may know, our school community annually produces a book based on our school values. You can find last year’s e-book at www.emasibook.com


This year we continue this excellent tradition and once again, we’re calling on our students, teachers and even families to contribute art, poetry, even videos of dance and musical performances. The theme of this year’s book is Global Understanding – directly from our Mission Statement. You can submit work for this very meaningful project here. Together we can bring our school values to life.


And not many schools in the world have a dedicated art gallery. We are one of the fortunate few. And you’re invited to visit and enjoy the incredible exhibit we currently have on display called 'No more, not yet.' You can learn more about the exhibit here.


The exhibit is open from 10 am to 4 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. Families can also make an appointment to visit by contacting our school’s Art Space Manager, Mr Nhat Vo.

Cambridge Mock Tests


This is the time of year where teachers conduct the second round of Cambridge Mock Tests to measure student progress and to get students comfortable with the Cambridge style of testing. In the coming weeks, the school will be sending out details to the families whose children are recommended to take the official Cambridge exams.




I am always available to hear from you and to discuss any matters about our school. 
 
Yours in education, 

Joshua James 

Managing Director, EMASI Van Phuc
