️🎤 Primary AIS Has Got Talent is always a special event in our school calendar and this year was no different ️🎹

Students impressed the huge audience with their talents playing on instruments, singing, dancing and even performing a self-penned rap. From Year 1 to Year 6, we are so proud of all our finalists! ️🎉

At AIS, student leadership is more than a title, and it is never handed out lightly. It is earned, lived, deeply valued - a powerful opportunity for students to grow

Earlier, we celebrated the students already helping shape the future of our community: using their voices, taking initiative, and learning to lead with confidence, empathy, and purpose. These are not “someday” skills. They are real-world qualities that many people only begin to develop much later in life

Because at AIS, we believe the future starts long before adulthood. Your child’s future is our focus, and leadership is one of the ways we bring that future to life

Show some love 💙 for our new student leaders in the comments

At our AIS Swimming Gala on 27 and 28 May, students had the chance to show just how much confidence and progress can grow across a year of learning in Aquatics

From relays and races to water activities and house spirit, both days were filled with participation, enjoyment, and healthy competition

💛 A huge thank you to our incredible PFG for helping make the experience so memorable

🌟 Congratulations to all students for the energy, sportsmanship, and positivity they brought to the pool

After a year of exploring, reading, writing, and performing poetry, our Year 4 students proudly showcased their talents in our Poetry Slam.

Throughout the year, students experimented with a variety of poetic forms and literary techniques, developing their confidence as both writers and performers. The Poetry Slam was a wonderful celebration of their hard work, creativity, and growth. Students captivated the audience with expressive performances, thoughtful word choices, and powerful messages.

We are incredibly proud of the courage, enthusiasm, and skill they demonstrated as they shared their original poems with their peers and community.

Celebrating Dedication, Loyalty, and 20 Years of Excellence

As we celebrate our school's 20th Anniversary AIS Saigon, we are especially proud to recognise a remarkable group of colleagues whose dedication, passion, and commitment have helped shape our community over the years.

This year, we honour team members who have reached significant service milestones of 10, 15, and 20 years with 20th Anniversary AIS Saigon

Most notably, we are privileged to have two staff members who have been with us since the very beginning, completing 20 years of service in our 20th anniversary year. Their unwavering commitment, institutional knowledge, and contribution to generations of students and families represent the very foundation of our school's success.

In a world where careers are increasingly mobile, long-term service is a powerful reflection of shared values, meaningful work, and a strong sense of community. These milestones remind us that schools are built not only through programs and facilities, but through the people who dedicate their careers to making a difference in the lives of young people.

To all of our long-service recipients - thank you for your professionalism, resilience, care, and commitment. Your contributions have left a lasting impact on our students, colleagues, and the broader school community.

Here's to celebrating the past 20 years together and looking forward to many more years of learning, growth, and success.

💫 This is it: the scholarship moment worth pausing for 🎓

We’re closing our Class of 2026 offers spotlight with a moment that deserves its own pause: our beloved Sadhika Kapoor is heading to York University for Psychology on a FULL 4-year tuition scholarship - an achievement that speaks for itself!

Her offers also included the University of Toronto, the University of British Columbia, the University of Southampton, the University of Warwick, and the University of St Andrews. And with a predicted grade of 45, this is excellence powered by the AIS way: students building confidence through steady practice, learning through feedback, and staying consistent when it would be easier to coast. It’s not just “aim high”. It’s “show up” – again and again – until the work becomes undeniable.

💛 York University - please treat our Sadhika well
💙 Drop a blue heart for our beloved Sadhika – this is huge

✨ From Primary to Secondary - and they were more than ready 🎇

Our Year 6 students recently took part in two exciting Transition Days as they prepared for the move into Year 7 and Secondary School at AIS. They met new teachers, joined a welcome session with Mr Zion, stepped into Art and Science lessons, and took on a campus-wide scavenger hunt to get to know their new learning spaces.

Transitions matter - and when students feel supported, prepared, and excited, they move forward with real confidence. Experiences like these do more than prepare students academically: they build confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging before the next chapter begins. 🌟

🗯️🐝 Our AIS Primary Spelling Bee was a fantastic celebration of literacy, confidence, and perseverance

🐝 Students from Year 3, 4, 5, and 6 showcased their spelling skills, demonstrating impressive preparation and determination as they tackled increasingly challenging words. The audience cheered on participants, creating a supportive and encouraging atmosphere throughout the event.

🗯️ Congratulations to all our spellers for their courage and hard work, and a special well done to our winners. We are proud of every student who took part and helped make the Spelling Bee such a memorable success.
