CELEBRATING THE VIETNAMESE LUNAR NEW YEAR

Tết is the most important cultural celebration of the Vietnamese, so naturally the Tết Assembly at BIS Hanoi is a special day for all students, teachers and staff.

It is on this occasion that we introduce our school community, who come from a variety of different countries and cultures, to the many forms of Vietnamese new year festivities.

During the 2023 Tết Assembly, it was wonderful to see students, teachers and staff from different backgrounds come together wearing traditional Vietnamese ao dais: what a vibrant and colourful display!

In the days approaching Tết, Primary students also had the opportunity to take part in activities such as wrapping bánh chưng and making fruit preserves. The Secondary Student Council helped those from other countries better understand the celebrations through games on our digital learning platform, Kahoot.

Among the most memorable aspects of the 2023 Tết celebrations at BIS Hanoi were the incredible singing, dancing and drumming performances, which involved students of all ages.

We look forward to celebrating Vietnamese culture together during the next Lunar New Year in 2024.
