UNIS Hanoi

UNIS Hanoi alumna Noma Makunga shares how stepping into MUN helped her discover new strengths, perspectives and passions beyond the arts.

As part of our Vision, Mission & Values in Action series, Noma reflects on how trying something unfamiliar shaped not only her confidence, but also her belief in the importance of people and communities working together.

It’s a thoughtful reminder of the value of exploration, curiosity and stepping beyond what feels familiar.

Across our campus, students and community members have brought to life the energy, creativity, and connection that define UNIS Hanoi 💙 From student performances 🎭 and the SCO Book Sale 📚 to service learning 🤝, athletics 🏅, arts exhibitions 🎨, and Grade 5 transition experiences 🌱, this week was filled with meaningful learning both inside and beyond the classroom.

Sometimes, one conversation can stay with you forever 💙

As part of our Vision, Mission & Values in Action series, UNIS Hanoi alumna Noma Makunga reflects on the moment a teacher challenged her to stop “dimming” herself — and how that encouragement changed the way she saw her own potential.

It’s a powerful reminder that learning is not only about academics, but about helping each student grow into the fullest version of who they can become.

🎶 Hanoi Voices Choir returns to UNIS Hanoi ✨

Following the incredible impact of last year’s performance — which raised more than 80 million VND for student-led Service Learning initiatives — we are delighted to once again welcome the Hanoi Voices Choir to campus!

This year’s programme, Voices of Art, brings together choral music, instrumental performance and movement in an evening inspired by art, meaning and human connection. From classical masterpieces to modern musical favourites, the performance promises to be both powerful and deeply moving.

More than a concert, this is a celebration of community. Throughout the evening, UNIS Hanoi Service Learning students will also share the projects and initiatives your support helps make possible.

📅 Friday, 15 May

This week at UNIS Hanoi reflected a strong sense of energy and purpose as we entered the final stretch of the school year. From Grade 12 students beginning their IB examinations to meaningful service learning, performances, athletics, and community events, students engaged in rich learning experiences both inside and beyond the classroom. Together, these moments highlighted the collaboration, creativity, and community spirit that continue to shape life at UNIS Hanoi as we look ahead to the final weeks of the year 💙

Sometimes community is built in the smallest moments 💙

In this clip from our Vision, Mission & Values in Action series, High School Counsellor Lori Fairbairn shares how parent connections around sports teams grew into something much bigger — WhatsApp chats, photos from games, posters, pizzas, cakes, and entire groups of families waiting to welcome students home after tournaments.

“It’s what kept us here for 15 years.”

At UNIS Hanoi, community isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something people genuinely show up for.

What makes a school feel like home? 💙

In our next Vision, Mission & Values in Action vlogcast, our beloved High School Counsellor Lori Fairbairn reflects on first arriving at UNIS Hanoi 15 years ago — first as a parent in the ECC, later returning as a counsellor.

From community connections to finding her path in counselling, Lori shares how the warmth and sense of belonging at UNIS Hanoi became a lasting part of her journey.

And yes… if you’re wondering about the costumes, the episode was filmed on Halloween 🎃
