MESSAGE FROM THE ACTING HEADMEASTER

HOPEFULLY THIS YEARBOOK WILL BE SOMETHING TO TREASURE AND LOOK BACK AT WITH FONDNESS IN YEARS TO COME. IN THE WORDS OF L.M MONTGOMERY: “NOTHING IS EVER REALLY LOST TO US AS LONG AS WE REMEMBER IT.”

Awarm welcome to the 2022-23 RGSV yearbook. This edition will go down in history as our first yearbook to bear the Reigate name. A big thank you to Mr Rob and his team for organising the process and guiding us throughout. As I write this, the yearbook is still being constructed, however I know that it will be packed with great photos, fantastic articles, celebrations of success and above all terrific memories that we can all look back on in years to come.

There have been so many wonderful events and terrific achievements since August that it is difficult to pick my favourites, but I look back on International Day, when we celebrated all the different nationalities represented in our school and I recall the tasty food, much of which was provided by our PTA. I think about my first experience of the Tet celebration and how lucky we were with the hot weather. The many sporting events that I have seen (swimming, football, cross country, basketball), where RGSV Primary and Secondary students competed with pride and determination. The Maths Olympiad, where one of our senior teams took the gold medals. The IB Diploma Programme Art exhibition was a great occasion and one where our musicians made a contribution, as they have throughout the year. The student leadership bodies have made a significant contribution.

I have been impressed with the maturity of the Senior Prefects who have set a good example to the rest of the school and helped out at our events, as well as being proactive in collaborating with RGSUK to initiate a charity event. We say goodbye to the Year 13 students who graduate this year and we wish them all the best for the future, together with some staff, who are moving to pastures new. Hopefully this Yearbook will be something to treasure and look back at with fondness in years to come. In the words of L.M Montgomery: “Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.”

Mr Patrick Acting Headmaster

MESSAGE FROM EDUCATION DIRECTOR

IT HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE TO BE YOUR EDUCATION DIRECTOR, THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT SO SPECIAL. YOU HAVE ACHIEVED SO MUCH AND DESERVE TO BE.

Dear RGSV Pupils,

What an incredible year it has been! When I think back to my first visit to RGSV in April 2022 I can see how much has changed. The whole RGSV community has come together, building friendships and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

The end of a year is a time for reflection, to see how far we have come. Thinking back to the focus I shared with you at the start of the year, I think we can all be very proud of our successes:

• To bring the community back together and to reconnect

• To be kind to each other, to ensure everyone feels that they belong

• To gather student voice, as this is key to making improvementsto the school

• To create more connections across the year groups

As Reigatians, this is all part of being on a journey with a special purpose, to be good people. We have had so many wonderful community events that have given us the opportunity to reconnect, such as the brilliantly run student-led Mid Autumn festival full of activities from making Moon cake and Songpyeon to creating lanterns and paper masks, the joyful International Day celebrating our amazing diverse RGSV community of over 30 nationalities and the outstanding Festival of Light. We connected through sharing and learning about each other’s cultures and backgrounds. We are proud to be inclusive of everyone, part of the global RGS family, and value the richness that it adds to our school days.

Ensuring everyone feels valued and supported is central to all that we do here at RGSV and is behind all of the decisions we make. Our Year 7 Empathy project, where we collaborated with RGS UK, is a great example of our pupils working together, sharing experiences and helping each other to gain a deeper understanding of different backgrounds and cultures. Another great example of working together as an RGS family was the RGS UK Gap students visit; George and Conor gained so much by their time here, and our pupils greatly valued their contributions. This pilot project was such a success we are looking to repeat this in the years to come.

It has been a privilege to be your Education Director, thank you for making it so special. You have achieved so much and deserve to be.

With my very best wishes,

Ms Arabella

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF PREPARATORY

IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO BE YOUR HEAD OF PREPARATORY THIS YEAR: A YEAR YOU CAN ALL BE REALLY PROUD OF, AND I WISH ALL OF YOU THE VERY BEST FOR YOUR FUTURES!

Dear Preparatory Pupils,

Welcome to the Preparatory School’s Yearbook Section. I hope and encourage you to enjoy looking back through this collection of photos, achievements and memories of our school year together. May I also take this opportunity to thank Mr Rob and his team for putting together such a fantastic yearbook!

When I think about all you have accomplished this year my head starts to hurt! You have all had a superb year. Whenever I walk into classrooms, I can hear the buzz of learning, of excited and hard-working children and of kindness, laughter and fun. I hope you all remember that learning should involve that: fun! I am, in fact, reminded of a quote by the civil-rights activist and poet, Maya Angelou: ‘Try to be a rainbow in someone’s clouds’. I think we have a lot of rainbows!

I have been impressed by the quality of your work in the classroom, your presentation and performance skills in assemblies and your enthusiasm in sport. We have had brilliant festivals, a super Sports Day and Swim Gala, Book Week, art exhibitions, musical performances, Pupil Led Conferences and an amazing PYP Exhibition. There have been some brilliant trips out (my personal highlight being the Year 6 Camp!), fantastic community events such as International Day, our Lunar and Winter Festivals, sports competitions and there have been lots of friendships made.

It has been a pleasure to be your Head of Preparatory this year: a year you can all be really proud of, and I wish all of you the very best for your futures!

Best wishes,

Mr Simon

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SECONDARY

THE LATE WALT DISNEY ONCE SAID, “IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN DO IT.” WELL, YOU CAME, YOU DREAMED, YOU BELIEVED AND YOU ACHIEVED. WELL DONE!

Dear Secondary School students,

This has been our first full year as Reigate Grammar School Vietnam, and a full year of on-Campus Learning and Teaching. I welcome you to, and encourage you to enjoy, the pages dedicated to our Secondary School in this edition of the Yearbook.

I thank Mr. Rob and his team, as well as all involved in the Secondary, for collating our memories and achievements over this year. As you can see they have done a fantastic job.

Once again, you, the students of our Secondary School have shown your development and growth and should be proud of your achievements. The great year we have had was created by the contributions of each and everyone one of you.

Looking smart (most of you! most of the time!) in your new uniforms, you have represented yourselves and the School in many activities and events. Our sports teams have returned with some great sporting seasons and results, and rebuilt the essential team spirit of the Panthers and Orcas. Our debaters, thinkers, and speakers have excelled in World Scholars’ Cup, MUN, TEDx and PYN events both in and out of School. Our Artists and Musicians have shined in demonstrating their talents in exhibitions and performances. All students have shown their risk-taking and team-building attributes on our School camps and their celebration of our community with events such as International Day, mid-Autumn festival, Lunar Festival and Winter Bazaar.

The late Walt Disney once said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Well, you came, you dreamed, you believed and you achieved. Well done!

Feliz verano!

Mr Colin

Nursery Reception

YEAR 1

What a year of change! We started the year having a combined class of Year 1 and Reception students During this time you were caring towards the Reception students and modelled principled behaviour You have all changed so much this year. It's been a pleasure to be part of your learning journey. You showed great creativity and understanding in your Unit of Inquiry projects. For example in the model communities, animal habitats and story books you made. Your ability to count in many ways, to measure and organise data is equally impressive You are all becoming competent storytellers, builders, scientists and mathematicians! The way you have all matured, learning to work together and care for each other is a huge credit to each of you It was fantastic to watch your relationships with Year 11 ECA friends grow. All the best with your future learning

Mr. Kris

YEAR 2i

Year 2I has had a fantastic year! Some of the highlights were out of class activities like our nature walk as we classified living and non-living things. Our practical learning on measurement included working in pairs to measure volume and working in groups to measure their heights in centimetres. They also loved the tug of war game as we learned about forces. The cross country race was also quite memorable! ass loves outdoor learning!

The biggest paycheck: RESPECT

TEDxRGSV THE BIGGEST PAYCHECK: RESPECT

This is the first time TEDxRGSV is held offline after the pandemic Even though it was challenging for the Organizing Committee to set up everything from scratch, all efforts paid off

The core team with three members (Lou, Han Gia Le, and Trung Hieu Nguyen) started the brainstorming process way back in August 2022. Then more people joined along the way and formed the Organizing Committee as well as mentors. It was really a journey working together, creating such an event.

The event took place on 23/02/2023 in the RGSV gym and was a huge success with the speeches of four speakers: Lou, Tran, Tue Minh, Annie and Mr Simon, who helped the whole team turn TEDxRGSV’23 into reality

RG SV MODEL UNITED NATIONS

The Model United Nations (MUN) is an educational event, organised by schools around the world as a way for students to engage in topics of global significance as a delegate representing a country or region. Some students may also chair (lead) a committee, where they facilitate delegates through the process of drafting, debating, amending and passing resolutions. In committees such as the Security Council, General Assembly, or Human Rights Council, students debate, collaborate and try to find solutions for issues of concern to us all. This year, students participated in events at UNIS (both the November and the March conferences) and at BIS (March).

In the most recent MUN ECA term, the core organising team for RGSV MUN is taking the time to get our own event up and running again after a hiatus following the COVID years. It will be an exciting time and the team is already starting to create their plan for next school year's event.

..Chưa chữ viết đã vẹn tròn tiếng nói

Vầng trăng cao đêm cá lặn sao mờ

Ôi tiếng Việt như bùn và như lụa

Óng tre ngà và mềm mại như tơ.

Tiếng tha thiết, nói thường nghe như hát

Kể mọi điều bằng ríu rít âm thanh

Như gió nước không thể nào nắm bắt

Dấu huyền trầm, dấu ngã chênh vênh.

Dấu hỏi dựng suốt ngàn đời lửa cháy

Một tiếng vườn rợp bóng lá cành vươn

Nghe mát lịm ở đầu môi tiếng suối

Tiếng heo may gợi nhớ những con đường…. (Tiếng Việt - Lưu Quang Vũ)

Early years Music

Ms. Jessanin De La Rosa Ms. Jessanin De La Rosa

It has been an absolute pleasure teaching music to our early years students this year. Watching them discover and explore the world of music has been a true delight

Throughout the year, we have sung, danced, and played a variety of instruments, from rhythm sticks to xylophones. We have learned about different styles of music, from classical to folk, and even tried our hand at composing our own songs.

What has been most impressive is the enthusiasm and creativity our students have brought to each lesson. Their joyous energy and eagerness to learn has been truly inspiring. I am grateful for the opportunity to teach these young musicians here at RGSV

IGCSE and DP Music

Mr. Daniel Hewitt Mr. Daniel Hewitt

The upper secondary music programs involve composing, arranging and performing music.

The courses provide a fantastic preuniversity foundation through research, analysis and subsequent creating and performing. Highlights include music from Beethoven, Joe Hishaishi and even popular repertoire from Elton John to Adele.

Diploma students have performed several concerts throughout the year, sharing performance and personal compositions in various styles with impressed audiences.

Our Diploma and IGCSE cohorts have submitted extensive portfolios of their work to be considered for final assessment over the summer

All the very best for your results this year!

Year 4, 5 & 6 Music

Mr. ManuelZazueta Mr. ManuelZazueta

"Movement is the basis of all artistic manifestations"

Music education through Dalcroze

Eurhythmics emphasizes the integration of movement, rhythm, and ear training to develop a holistic and creative understanding of music.

- Émile Jaques-Dalcroze

Throughout the y ear, we have been exploring music through various activities that engage our bodies, minds, and emotions developing our sense of pulse, tempo, and phrasing. We have also been practising movement improvisation and gesture-based expression to explore music's emotional and narrative dimensions.

Do you think the Dalcroze method has been a fun and engaging way to learn about music? We've had some great moments. I hope in the future you remember your music lesson whenever you listen to music and feel like moving!

Nourish the mind and ignite a lifetime of passion

Throughout the year, students have been guided by our skilled instrument instructors, who have helped them learn the technical and musical aspects of playing these beautiful instruments.

Students chose between Cello and V iolin at the beginning of the year and by December were playing as a group! We hope that after this experience they continue playing this or any other instrument so that music can always be a part of their life.

Learning about these instruments has helped students understand how music is produced, composed and interpreted. They train their inner ear, leadership abilities and teamwork skills.

Concerts are but a small part of the work we do in the RGSVSO. Our mission is to nurture our student’s passion for music, enabling them to play great works of art in a prestigious and achieving ensemble.

Our talented gro up of young and dedicated musicians constitute the first Symphonic Orchestra in an International or Local school in Vietnam!

Music Year 9

Manuel Zazueta Manuel Zazueta

Learning music through singing and Dalcroze Eurhythmics

In Year 9, students learned music through Dalcroze eurhythmics, a unique method using movement and physical expression to develop their sense of musicality and teamwork skills

They also participated in choir practice, where they developed their vocal technique, learned to sing in harmony , and gained confidence performing in front of others.

The Year 9 music program was a great success, and we are proud of their hard work and dedication to musical growth.

Is there a single "scientific method" ?

Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) is one of the three essential elements that every student must complete as part of the Diploma Programme (DP).

Here are some examples of students’ achievements.

First aid training

Quang Tri was one of the most damaged areas during and after the war. Even though the war ended almost 50 years ago, Agent Orange and landmines are still haunting their lives every day. People here are living in extremely di cult conditions. Therefore, our CAS project was founded to solve these problems by donating compassion houses. 30 houses have been donated so far. However, many families still skip meals or have meals with insu cient nutrients. This leads to kids su ering from malnutrition. We decided to add this urgent problem to our objectives. Immediately, we met with nutrition experts and found that the most suitable solution for them is to add soy milk to their diets. After all, HYCS desires to inspire the young generation to give more than take. A community where people actually put in their hearts, their e orts towards the same goal of improving the lives of the unfortunate.
