Tet Message from the Head of School
As we celebrate Tet and welcome the Year of the Horse, we share a message from our Head of School, Mr. Marco Longmore, with the ISHCMC community.
Take a moment to watch the video as we wish our students, families, and staff a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
Tet Assemblies on Both Campuses
Both campuses were filled with festive spirit during our Tet Assemblies.
At Primary Campus, our students showcased a range of Tet-inspired performances prepared by each grade level and presented in different creative formats. The celebrations were made even more special with traditional lion dance performances.
At the Secondary Campus, students joined in the festivities through energetic dance performances set to traditional Vietnamese music, closing with a vibrant lion dance led by our own drum team.
From ISHCMC, Chúc mừng năm mới.
