MESSAGE
FROM OUR FOUNDER
TRẦN HẠNH AN FOUNDER
Firstly, I would like to say thank you to our parents for your support during the year and I am thankful for your understanding and assistance during changes to our educational schedule. I would also like to thank our teachers and staff who adapted our teaching approach to ensure continued delivery of lessons. And of course, a big thank you to all our students that took it in their stride. I also saw from this experience that kids certainly adjust to change faster than anyone. Given the nature of international schools we sadly say ‘goodbye’ to some of our original students and teachers and in turn we are happily saying ‘welcome’ to others. I highly appreciate how all our staff went over and above what was required of them. Personally, I know that not all lessons are appreciated at the time, however with the passing of time we can all look back as a community and be grateful we went through it together. I know I will. I look forward to continuing this amazing journey, which is HAIS, its students, teachers, support staff, families, and community. I get the greatest of pleasure and reward knowing this journey will continue for many, many years to come.
MESSAGES
FROM OUR PRINCIPALS Our second year of operation has been full, fun, exciting and has provided our community with challenging times. As a strong community we were able to weather together the trying times of the Coronavirus threat. Our students and teachers found creative ways to learn and share experiences even though were not actually together. Our Year Book theme is ‘Our Community’’ and many of our activities during the year were to support or share with others in our community. The very successful Bazaar was able to provide a new audience to many groups and businesses who focus on sustainability, social conscience and healthy eating. The best part was that all profits raised were donated to an extremely worthy cause, Children Education Foundation VN, who focus on the education of ethnic girls and women. The strong caring group of HAIS students support each other to learn, appreciate our environment and play. Congratulations on a year that has made us stronger and more determined to learn and grow strong together.
SUE DONALDSON PRINCIPAL
BRETT MACDOUALL VICE PRINCIPAL
Welcome to our Second Yearbook. The 2019/2020 school year was a year that was filled with many ‘firsts’ and much of it will be remembered for the impact that COVID-19 had on our community. While the Coronavirus threw up many challenges for us to navigate, the commitment of the HAIS staff and parent community to the wellbeing and academic growth of our students never wavered. As a father, I personally witnessed children who were committed and focussed, with laughter and spirited conversation often resonating throughout the hallways of the house. For me, this was a sign of success in a moment of adversity; a success that was a testament to the hard work of a dedicated group of teachers and support staff, a committed and passionate parent community and most importantly our students. For Hoi An International School this year was a memorable one and I hope that you enjoy reminiscing now and in the future thanks to this Yearbook. I would like to thank Ms Amanda Deibert and the Yearbook Committee for all their efforts in putting this finished product together. They have done a fantastic job!
PARENT ORIENTATION
Parent involvement is an integral importance to the development of our students and the greater HAIS community because we understand how this helps extend teaching outside the classroom and creates a more positive experience for our students. By working closely together we are enhancing our children's learning and development and giving parents confidence in their children's education. The HAIS Working Bee allowed parents to experience a day in the life of their child and work alongside us in furthering the sustainability of the school.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
It's that time of the year again! You wake up in a sweat, shaken from the dream where your alarm clock hasn’t gone off and you are late... "The First Day of School!" Whether you are a veteran or a rookie, we have all experienced mixed emotions about the first day of school. It is a milestone for both parents and children, whether it be the first time attending a school or simply entering a new grade. The 20th of August 2019 marked the first day of the HAIS 2019-2020 school year. When we all entered the green gates of HAIS, any emotions were quickly forgotten and replaced with feelings of excitement and delight, as we greeted the friendly faces of our friends and teachers. We collectively felt a sense of familiarity and belonging, a feeling of having returned home. The day went off like clockwork as the grounds were buzzing with the sounds of students laughter, parents banter and an overwhelming sense of joy. Today set the benchmark for what we can all look forward to in the year ahead.
INTERNATIONAL dot day Our students are encouraged to harness their creativity and express themselves in a variety of different ways, and they did so as the whole HAIS community came together in celebration of International Dot Day. Students and teachers were dotty kitted out in their spots as they united in a celebration of creativity. Everyone had a chance to make their mark, through their art, story-telling, or dancing. It was a celebration of a story to be admired. It was also a celebration of our students, as some received awards for making their mark at HAIS through their encouragement of others or persistence to be their best. The grande finale was our “Connect the Dot” activity, where the whole school was given various colour dots and tasked to find their partners and inspire them to join in on the Dot Day song led by two of our very talented students Oceane Ruggeri and Hannah Lambert.

MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional harvest festival of the Vietnamese culture. It is a celebration of great significance to our host nation, where-in Vietnamese families come together to celebrate their union and prosperity for the year.Â
terns n a l ng maki
Our Vietnamese staff graciously extended these festivities by inviting students and staff to join cultural workshops over 3 days. There was a great sense of dynamism as students showcased their newfound talents to their parents and friends at this year's Mid Autumn Festival. The excitement continued as the whole HAIS community was captivated by a performance by our lion dancing team, followed by a beautiful star lantern processional where the whole community traversed across the HAIS campus in a show of solidarity and comradery to celebrate our host nation and it’s culture.

VIETNAMESE TEACHER'S DAY On the 20th of November 2020 we celebrated Vietnamese Teachers Day. We celebrated the achievements of all our teachers and gave thanks to the fantastic work that they do every single day. In the words of the great Albert Einstein, “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.�
HOUR OF CODE We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever career path our children may choose, their ability to succeed may increasingly depend on their understanding of technology and its functionality. That is why on Monday afternoon, December 9th, all HAIS students from grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 joined in the largest learning event in human history: the Hour of Code. Along with millions of kids from around the World, they participated in a computer programming activity built around the Star Wars theme. It was fantastic to see our students thinking outside the box and collaborating on finding solutions to certain problems. The activity culminated with each participant creating and designing characters, and then having the opportunity to play a mini-game, where they controlled the actions of their characters on screen. Students received a HAIS Hour of Code certificate for their participation. We encourage students to continue coding at home in their free time. Visit Code.org for a multitude of free activities, where they can learn to speak the language of computers, technology, and the internet!
international Food Fair
Our International Week was greeted by many fun and engaging activities including workshops hosted by teachers, students, and parents of different nationalities. Students went on cultural explorations across many different countries such as China, Denmark, Australia, Vietnam, Ireland, America, Canada, Germany, Belgium, New Zealand, Taiwan, and India. Some of the highlights of these workshops were the bubble tea making, aboriginal boomerang dot painting, Indian dance and culture, German ribbon dance, Korean kites, New Zealand stick song and the Land of Lego. Thursday, 24th of October, took our palates on a burst of flavour as students enjoyed food from around the world and had their passports stamped from the countries where they tried the food. This year we had an outstanding 14 different countries represented. We are thankful to all of the parents who have supported at the Food Fair. Special thanks to Ms. Thao and Ms. Nadine for all the planning and preparation that occurred to make this such a special event for all.
Parade of Nations The finale of our International Week was our magnificent Parade of Nations and concert, which featured a phenomenal 24 different countries within the HAIS family. There was a true sense of community and belonging as students paraded with pride as they represented their home countries. This was followed by a production of the nations, as students took to the stage and showcased the interculturalism of HAIS.

Halloween was a spectacular celebration. There were fairies, witches, ninjas, ballerinas and even a dinosaur roaming the grounds. The campus looked fantastic covered in ghosts and ghouls of all varieties. The week started with students learning about and creating Halloween crafts, where they were able to practice their fine motor skills by cutting, pasting and decorating pumpkins. Students got even more creative when they made skeletons to decorate their classrooms. The festivities ended with sweet treats for our little ones as they went Trick or Treating around the school.
Holiday BAZAAR
FUNDRAISING We are delighted to have raised almost 50,000,000 VND for Children's Education Fund and were happy to present the proceeds to the foundation at HAIS assembly.
Jade also raised an additional 70,000,000 VND and presented her donation to La San Tan Hung Charity School. Jade’s project was a fantastic way to demonstrate the positive action that can come from project-based learning. Jade took responsibility for something she believed in and made a positive impact on at least five lives that will last a lifetime.
Our Primary student’s giving and caring nature led them to raise money from their TET activities to help the bushfire animal survivors in Australia. This seems to embody the essence of an international school where we are learning and valuing the country we live in, while still demonstrating care for others in the world.
WINTER WONDERLAND Concert On the 12th of December HAIS was transformed into a Winter Wonderland, showcasing students performing with great joy and enthusiasm and a serving of homemade festive treats to end the night. It was the perfect evening for our HAIS community to come together and enjoy one last social event before the Christmas break. We were very proud of all our children and were pleased with the support shown by our HAIS community to make this a night we will never forget.

We had a really exciting time leading up to Tet. Our students were actively involved in the preparations for TET as well as engaged in activities that highlighted the importance of this holiday to the Vietnamese people. Students had been learning about the traditions and customs of this holiday and  used the time to create materials signifying its importance. They focused on music, artefacts (Bao LiXi, spring blossoms), food and understanding the symbolism of Tet.
"Best wishes for the New Year" song
Our Assembly was a lovely demonstration of teaching and learning. Students performed songs and dances, poems, a play about the legend of the Kitchen God, as well as hearing about student charity projects. The Kitchen God riding the golden carp to Heaven was a wonderful surprise!

SPORTS
MORNING
Sports Morning is aimed at providing the whole school with fun, challenging and skill building activities. At times, students are mixed between year levels to help build relationships. Some highlights of the year included “The Amazing Race”, “International Games'' and the very successful “Jades Fun Run”. Teachers were able to share some of their passions by running basketball, soccer and dance sessions. Our Vietnamese staff enjoy displaying their culture and heritage during “Vietnamese Games” both traditional and new, which creates an environment full of laughter and learning. The new swimming pool has provided us with the opportunity to try out waterbased activities during the end of the year.

SCIENCE LAB HAIS students get a first-hand learning experience by performing various experiments and taking part in hands-on experiences, significantly advancing learning at all levels of science education. Our school lab is a great place for students which helps them enhance their learning by understanding the theoretical concepts of science which are taught in classrooms. Our well-designed laboratory not only makes science experiments fun but also helps students in achieving good academic results.

Jeffrey Elliotte Sports Morning Lead & PE teacher
Another exciting and successful year on the sports fields for all our students. Our focus was on skill acquisition, teamwork, body coordination and we continued to develop these in a variety of settings, including the gym, garden, swimming pool, sports field and playground. We had a good mix of activities for both individual and team sports to help develop a well rounded balanced student. During the period of online learning we aimed to involve all family members in our lessons, and with the older students develop self directed and individual physical skills. It was exciting to be using the pool for lessons during Term 3 and we look forward to utilising this further in the future. Mr. Jeff
Một năm thú vị và thành công trên lĩnh vực thể thao cho tất cả các học sinh HAIS. Trọng tâm của chúng tôi là thu thập kỹ năng, làm việc nhóm, phối hợp chuyển động và tiếp tục phát triển các kỹ năng trong nhiều môi trường khác nhau, bao gồm phòng tập thể dục, sân vườn, bể bơi, sân thể thao và sân chơi. Chúng tôi đã kết hợp tốt các hoạt động cho cả thể thao cá nhân và đồng đội. Trong thời gian học trực tuyến, chúng tôi cũng kết nối các thành viên trong gia đình vào các bài học của mình và cùng với các học sinh lớn hơn phát triển các kỹ năng thể chất tự định hướng phát triển cá nhân. Mr. Jeff
Online Learning With confirmed cases in and around Hoi An, the Covid-19 pandemic this year struck very close to home. Here at HAIS, we were well prepared and immediately began delivering online learning as a whole day program. Our teachers provided online lessons, resources, and activities throughout the day and our campus team organised the delivery of materials and fun surprises for the students. As a whole, our school community handled the online learning well with resilience and adaptability.

Ở lớp khám phá song ngữ, chúng mình được học về tình bạn, sự sẻ chia, giúp đỡ. Chúng mình được khám phá về 5 giác quan, cùng với các hoạt động tinh giúp cho đôi tay được linh hoạt, các hoạt động thô giúp cho đôi chân khỏe mạnh, dẻo dai. Số đếm vui nhộn, hình dạng ngộ nghĩnh, màu sắc hấp dẫn cũng được cô giới thiệu rất lý thú. Ngoài ra mỗi ngày đến lớp được giúp cô tưới cây, lau kính, tham gia các hoạt động thực hành cuộc sống giúp chúng mình cảm thấy hạnh phúc vì đã làm được một việc có ý nghĩa. Một tuần ít nhất 3 lần được cô dẫn ra vườn thăm gà, lấy trứng, tưới cây và còn được ngâm chân thư giãn ở hồ cá nữa. Chúng mình thật sự rất thích đến trường vì mỗi ngày đến trường là một ngày vui.

It has been a great year for our Cambridge Year 8 class at HAIS. They joined a band, wrote mythical stories, improved their Vietnamese language, participated in a mock United Nations, and tie-dyed some t-shirts, socks and jeans to wear around school. They kept an admirably positive attitude during the Covid-19 months, studied hard for their exams, and celebrated the end of the year by watching Napoleon Dynamite with their friends. I was proud to be their homeroom teacher this year. Have a great summer!
