BIS LIONHEARTS ROAR AT THE FOBISIA U13 GAMES 2023

At the beginning of March, the BIS Hanoi Lionhearts travelled to Thailand to participate in the U13 FOBISIA Games 2023. The games saw our students compete with 8 teams from 6 other FOBISIA (Federation of British International Schools in Asia) schools in Athletics, Swimming, Football and Basketball. Here’s how the action unfolded:

Day 1: Swimming and Athletics

The Lionhearts demonstrated their bravery with some outstanding performances in the pool and on the track. All students showed courage and determination, even in events which were new to them.

Day 2: Girls Football and Boys’ Basketball

The girls football started early in the morning and the team played 5 games in total, going on to secure 5th position on the day. The team worked really hard, showing resilience and determination to overcome losses; kept playing hard to win their final match of the day. We are so proud of you!

In basketball, the boys won all their matches in the pool games and secured a spot in the gold medal match. They played with great determination in a closely contested match and the team were very proud of their silver medal. Well done!

Day 3: Boys Football and Girls Basketball

Day 3 was a long, hot day for our students! In football, the boys missed some goal opportunities, but they continued to demonstrate resilience and good sportsmanship throughout the day. In basketball, our girls won all six of their games showing great teamwork and focus when it mattered and won 1st place.

At the end of the final day, the students also enjoyed a gala dinner where the results for swimming and athletics were announced. The Lionhearts came 4th in swimming and 6th in athletics.

Whilst medals are one measure of success, there are so many things to celebrate and the teamwork, supporting each other, learning new skills, building resilience, fitness and stamina and representing our school. Each and everyone of us tried our best and we have returned back richer for this experience and better prepared for next year! Well done, Lionhearts.
