Notes from the Head of School

Just a brief message to thank all those who attended the Graduation Ceremony last Monday afternoon. Over

650 people attended this event for our 52 Grade Twelve students including the faculty and all students in

Grades 9-11, and we have received many positive comments on the ceremony.

Also, congratulations to our new slate of SCO Executive Officers for the 2013-2014 school year. They are

listed in another section of this Tin Tuc and include several who are continuing on from this year. It is very

gratifying to have this kind of support and we look forward to another successful year in the SCO next year.

Respectfully,

Chip Barder, Head of School

Notes from the Board of Directors

AGM Question and Answers

Please click here to read the community’s questions at the Board’s AGM in May and the responses from the

Board and Head of School.

Board Information Session Monday 3 June 5:30pm

As you know, Board members are all volunteers and we depend upon other members of the community to

volunteer their time and talents for the benefit of the School. Whether that be as a class representative or

serving in another School Community Organisation (SCO) position, providing home stay accommodation for visiting sport’s

teams, helping to orient new families at the start of the school year or serving on the Board or one of its committee or

taskforces-your contributions are all extremely valuable and worthwhile.

As we start to look forward and make plans for the next school year, the Board would like to ask parents to consider if they

can volunteer for a Board committee or taskforce. You can find out more about the work of this year’s committee and

taskforces by clicking here and attending an Information Session on Monday 3rd June 5:30-7:30pm in the Conference

Room, Admin Building at school. Refreshments will be provided. To find out more and let us know you will be attending,

please contact me via the Board Assistant, Pam Rickard [email protected]

Sarah Garner, Board Chair

Notes from the Middle High School Principal

Dear MSHS Families,

The entire Elementary and Middle/High School faculty is

pleased to announce that the Graduation Ceremony for the

Class of 2013 was a smashing success. Over 650 people filled

the Sports Centre including all UNIS Faculty and Grade 9 – 11

students.

Although the achievements of the Class of 2013 were many,

four students were honored with special recognition for

outstanding achievement in Scholarship, Community Service,

Perseverance, and Contributions to the Life of the School.

Award Winners:

Scholar’s Award: Na Yeong Yang

Dr. France J. Rhodes Community Service Award: Gia Han Tran

Director’s Award: Andrew Kim

Council of International Schools Award: Laura Ramoso

I am sure the entire UNIS community will join in wishing the Class of 2013 congratulations and best wishes for the future!

Enjoy the Graduation Photo Special on pages 5-6.

New Schedule for 2013-14

Since my arrival in August students and teachers have been constantly complaining that there simply is not enough time

during the academic day to fully accomplish their curricular and co-curricular goals. The MSHS currently operates using a

four period block schedule with a rather early lunch period squished in starting at 11:30 a.m.. There is no time during the

academic day for students to receive extra help from teachers, engage any form of academic preparation or attend club

meetings.

To address time pressure concerns the MSHS will implement an “X-block” schedule beginning in August 2013. X-block

schedules are common among international schools and provide time during the academic day for students to participate in

Academic Preparation periods, Advisory, Service Learning activities and a host of other programmes that are currently

forced to meet after school or while students and teachers are quickly eating lunch. This situation increases stress loads and

is not good for the digestive system! Inserting an X-block in the middle of the academic day will provide students and faculty

the opportunity to fully engage in programs that are extremely valuable educational components.

All schedules are compromises and X-block schedules are no exception. Although the benefits inherent in an X block

schedule are many there is one modification students will need to consider. HS students will have a significantly later lunch

period. To accommodate a later lunch period a 15 minute snack break will be offered for HS students after first period.

Bus Request

Dear Parents,

If you would like your child(ren) to use the UNIS Hanoi school bus

during the academic year 2013-2014, please kindly complete the bus

form HERE and send it to me by either email at

[email protected] or dropping on my desk at the

Business Office, Building 7.

Kind regards,

Chu Xuan Lai, UNIS Hanoi School Bus Office

This will permit HS students to fuel up for their midmorning classes and be primed for academic work. Snack aside, as part

of a healthy lifestyle all students are encouraged to eat a proper breakfast!

MS students will be under direct teacher supervision during all X-blocks. During X-blocks MS students will participate in

Advisory, Service Learning, assemblies, and supervised Academic Preparation periods. HS students will be given more

independence as maturity and age dictate. HS students will learn to manage their unstructured time in order to accomplish

academic and co-curricular requirements. They will earn independence by demonstrating they are mature enough to use

unstructured time wisely. Those students who demonstrate they cannot use unstructured time wisely will be placed in

supervised environments. HS students well participate in structured Advisory and Service Learning programs but will have

unstructured time to eat lunch, complete assignments, attend club meetings, and meet with teachers for extra help sessions.

The X-block schedule will require HS students to manage their time and develop independence.

During Morning Meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday the X-block schedule will be explained to students. The MSHS

faculty is excited over the benefits this schedule change will afford our educational program. Rest assured, much thought

and deliberation has gone into this decision. A later lunch is a small compromise for all the added benefits that will come

from this change in schedule. The faculty is confident that moving to an X-block schedule is necessary and will open up our

school day. This will enable students and teachers to work together in ways that are not possible under our current

schedule.

X-block schedules for Middle School and High School

Warm regards,

Pete Kennedy, Middle High School Principal

The Spring Dance Exhibition was a success! Students performed 35 routines from 5 different units of study… Below are

photos from the Bamboo Dance, Balance of Life, Improvisation, Sport Dance and Art as Inspiration…

Toothbrushes for Thuy An Village

We recently arranged to have a team of dentists visit Thuy An and as part of

their examination they were able to hand out toothbrushes and toothpaste

to the children and adults at this home for disabled people.

These toothbrushes were donated by the UNIS community, mostly

collected from the complimentary items provided at many hotels.

We are asking you once again, when you are travelling this summer to

collect toothbrushes, soap and shampoo for donations to Thuy An Village.

Supplies can be dropped off in the MSHS Service Learning Office.

Thank you for support!

2012-2013 High School Sports Awards Ceremony

A look back at and a celebration of the year in High School Sports at UNIS was held this past Tuesday. Students, coaches

and parents gathered in the UNIS Hanoi Centrre for the Arts Theatre to recognize the accomplishments of teams and

individual athletes.

The 2012-13 school-year has given us many reasons to celebrate. This marked our second year of full involvement in the

Asia Pacific Activities Conference (APAC). More than 150 high school students participated in the competitive sports

program over the three seasons of play, in the sports of tennis, volleyball, swimming, basketball and soccer. UNIS Hanoi was

host to its first APAC sports tournament this past April, when the Girls Soccer Tournament came to our campus. We are

very proud of the fact that five UNIS Hanoi teams were presented with APAC Team Sportsmanship Awards. Recognized

for this award were Boys Tennis, Girls Volleyball, Boys Soccer, Girls Swimming and Boys Volleyball. The year was brought

to a successful conclusion with the High School MRISA Boys and Girls Soccer teams both winning the MRISA

championship, in an event that was held here at UNIS Hanoi.

During the Awards Ceremony, each coach presented “Coaches’ Choice Awards” to members of their team who they felt

were worthy of special recognition. In some cases athletes were identified as being the Most Valuable or perhaps the Most

Improved, but the final criteria for the selection of the award was left to individual coaches. Congratulations to the

following athletes:

2012-13 Coaches Choice Award Winners

APAC Girls Volleyball – Laura Ramoso and Jemima Brennen

MRISA Girls Volleyball – Lan Pham and Freya Norton

APAC Boys Volleyball – Ruan Hamer and Laurids Poulsen

MRISA Boys Volleyball – Trung Pham and Kofi Buahin

MRISA Middle School Boys Volleyball

It was the perfect way to cap off one of the most successful

years for UNIS Hanoi in MRISA history. Both the boys

and girls took home the Junior Championship in Phnom

Penh and they did it with style.

The boys started the tournament in the worst possible way

by losing convincingly to our arch-rivals, HIS. It would take

a real test of character to bounce back from this loss, which

they did so by demolishing VIS and SSIS in the pool stages.

Momentum had started to shift and the boys were

improving game by game. Their serving becoming a real

attacking weapon and by the end of the tournament the

serving stats showed that the Phoenix had only missed 25

out of their 256 serves (92%).

After eclipsing the host ISPP team the stage was set for a

titanic semi-final against the traditional stronghold of

ISHMC, whose front court were the size of small buses.

The game did not disappoint, going to three sets with only

a late burst of accurate serving by UNIS Hanoi to close it

out.

As fate would have it, we ended up meeting our nemesis,

HIS, in the final. They had beaten us in the last five sets we

had played them and blazed through their side of the pool

matches with a small but powerful attack and great serve-

receive game. The pressure was on us but so was the inertia

and with a deadly serving game and some poetic 3-touch

attacking phases we closed out the first set. HIS dug in and

got a serving run on despite our best attempts to shore our

defenses and consequently took the second set. It came

down to a nail-biting third set at which point all the boys

stood up to be counted and picked up everything they

could throw at us and then returned it with interest. A

fitting close out-out serve by the vice-captain Henryk Le

Hai (who along with captain, Maarten Beek and Ricky

Kimura, only missed one serve all tournament) saw UNIS

Hanoi take the trophy.

One of the more fulfilling awards the UNIS Hanoi boys

team received was the Sportsmanship award which was

voted on by their opposing teams players and pointed to

the positive off-court attitude of the team. The boys were

fine ambassadors for our school and deserve to be

immensely proud of their achievements. May this be the

beginning of a UNIS Hanoi volleyball dynasty.
