It is with great pleasure that I announce the
hiring of our new ES Principal for the 2015
-2016 school year. Megan Brazil has
accepted this position and we believe she
will continue the good work of Carole and
the ES team into the future.
It was extremely to gratifying to receive 57
applications for this position from around the world. 40 of
these applications were from candidates with principal
experience. I would like to thank the ES Principal Search
Advisory Task Force Members for their assistance in this
process. They were Melanie Taylor, Theresa Ulett, Michelle
Mathias, Beth Murray and Ed Gilbreath from the
faculty. Joining us were Paulina Pineda, Iftekar Ahmed and
Lori Fairbairn from the parent community. I would also
like to thank those who attended one or more of the
interview sessions and completed a feedback form. This
input was duly considered and important in the overall
decision making process. Megan's details are beside.
I would like to extend to everyone happy holidays, safe
travels, and I look forward to seeing you in the new
calendar year.
Respectfully,
Dr. Chip Barder, hos@unishanoi.org
Megan is currently a key member of
the Senior Leadership Team at
GEMS World Academy Dubai
UAE, where she has spent the last 7
years in a range of impressively
growing educational leadership roles
- PYP Coordinator, ES Assistant
Principal, ES Principal, and now Assistant Head of School.
She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, Postgraduate
certificate in International Education, and a Master in
Education. Megan is also known for her PYP workshop
leader role, being responsible for delivering workshops to
PYP teachers within the Africa, Europe and Middle East
regions. Since the first adventure to England to
experience the life of international educators 12 years ago,
Megan and her family have still been very much passionate
about being global citizens. She brings to us a 19 years of
experience in teaching, school administration, staff
professional development and curriculum management,
built up and enriched from IB world schools in Colombia,
India and UAE.
UNIS-Hanoi is a school she has long held in high regard
due to its commitment to ideals of the United Nations and
the important role of international education in fulfilling
that mission. For her, it is truly an honour and privilege to
serve in a community with such an important undertaking.
Megan is from Australia, and will be accompanied by her
husband Scott and their 2 children, Isabella aged 9 and
Maliah aged 5.
Today we sent home the Annual Report 2013-2014 with
the youngest child of each family, so be sure to remind
them to give you this wonderful record of our School’s
progess and results.
You can also enjoy the Annual Report on our website.

We commend Sarah and Lotte for their talents, dedication,
commitment and constant willingness to learn, and we wish
them all of the best in the future.

Dear MSHS Families,
As we head toward Winter Break there is a
heightened sense of excitement on campus.
It is hard to believe the school year is
almost halfway over…..it seems like
opening day was just a few days ago! Time
sure flies in a busy and productive school!
UNIS Hanoi is a vibrant and busy school where we
sometimes get caught up in the whirlwind of academics and
activities, but as we approach a festive Holiday season I do
hope we can all find time to reflect and count our blessings.
Educating the whole child includes a balance between a
rigorous academic program, active involvement in a variety
of activities and building strong relationships with family
and friends.
I would like to thank Mathematics teacher Sam Trebesch
for spearheading our MSHS “Hour of Code” activity.
Paradoxically, over the past decade technology usage has
increased exponentially but the ability to write code
(programme computers) has become somewhat of a lost
art. Ms. Trebesch saw an opportunity for all MSHS
MSHS Hour of Code (Photo: Tim Barnsley)
students (and many teachers) to participate in a coding
experience sponsored by Code.org. During the Hour of
Code UNIS Hanoi joined students from around the world
in an experience designed to build basic coding techniques.
Within the curriculum at UNIS Hanoi we do teach aspects
of programming and we do have many “coders” but we
also have students who shy away from this form of
expression. To assist with the activity our student coders
joined faculty members and happily served as facilitators
for less experienced students and teaches. Overall our
Hour of Code was extremely successful! For more
information please visit: Hour of Code
In closing I would like to wish our entire UNIS Hanoi
community a joyful and restful Holiday Season. I would
also like to wish the families who are leaving UNIS Hanoi
the best of luck in the future. Separate MS and HS
assemblies will honor our “leavers” but it is also important
to wish parents and families a fond bon voyage as well!
Cheers and Happy Holidays,
Pete Kennedy, mshsprincipal@unishanoi.org

"Creating opportunities to transform futures"
The UNIS Hanoi Scholarship Programme was launched to
celebrate the School's 25th Birthday.
Our Scholars describe their experience at UNIS Hanoi as
the turning point in their lives or the shattering of a shell to
release their potential. We want to create more
opportunities to transform more futures.
Our Annual Campaign for The Scholarship Fund is about
what we can achieve when we all work together as a
community.


We hope that every family will make a contribution.
We hope that every teacher and staff member will
make a gift.
We hope that all our alumni families will join us and make a
donation.
Our goal is to have 100% of our families, faculty, staff and
alumni make a gift to The Scholarship Fund.
Our goal is to raise $2.5 Million USD over the next five
years to create three new Scholarships in perpetuity.

NO GIFT IS TOO SMALL! This campaign is about
achieving our goal TOGETHER at all levels of gifts
from $1 to $+10,000.
We hope to receive a range of gifts from 1 USD to
+10,000 USD and every gift will help us achieve our goal
together. Each family, each individual member of our
community can make a difference.
We can reach our first annual goal, If EVERY family made
a gift of 105 USD!
Imagine what we can achieve together! The Annual
Campaign is about a community sharing a vision and
everyone making their own contribution, at their own level,
to achieve that goal.
Only you can decide what is the right level gift for you.
We welcome gifts from companies and we will be
developing a special recognition package.
We will be actively seeking investment from companies as
we build our campaign over the next five years.
Please contact our Director of Advancement, Emma
Silva
, if you would like to make a connection to The
Scholarship Fund for a corporate donation.
We celebrate all gifts to The Scholarship Fund as
philanthropic acts of generosity.
Our primary goal is to mobilize our own direct UNIS
Hanoi community.
However, we also accept gifts from those outside of our
School community who are inspired by the vision of our
Scholarship Programme and who want to contribute as a
Friend of the School.

A gentle reminder to NOT take UNIS Hanoi Library books
with you!
Our precious Library books travel enough going to and from our
UNIS Hanoi families’ homes.... they prefer to remain here in Hanoi .
Happy holidays!
Julie Conroy, ES Librarian eslibrarian@unishanoi.org
We would like to send a big thank you to you all, UNIS
Hanoi students, parents and teachers for your generous
sponsoring of, and donations to, our Blue Dragon Walk-AThon.
On November 6th, 2014, despite the drizzling weather, all
the students and teachers from Discovery to Grade 5 had
so much fun and participated with so much energy in our
Walk-A-Thon. We have raised 13,000 USD in order to
support the Blue Dragon organization in their work to help
Vietnamese street children to go to school.
With many amazing performances from K1- Grade 12 and
opportunities to support our Community Service Learning
programmes, the Festive Fundraiser ‘Stars and Light’ was a
fantastic celebration to start of this winter holiday season.
The change in organization allowed the community
performances to be enjoyed in a variety of locations. The
UMA Jazz band and Dr Barder provided the outside
entertainment as people enjoyed the twinkling lights and
visiting the various festive goods organized by MSHS
students to support their community action projects.
Popcorn, hot chocolate and sausage sizzle stalls satisfied
hungry stomachs. Kindergarten and Grade 1 opened the
evening with songs in the Centre for the Arts Foyer. The
performances continued with the ES, MS and APAC choirs
performing in the theatre followed by more instrumental
performances in the foyer to close the evening.
Your kind donations (VND 24,196,000) and money raised
from the popcorn and hot chocolate sales (VND
8,905,000) are used to purchase instruments to promote
music education in local Vietnamese Kindergarten schools.
Last year the school identified the 20/10 Kindergarten as
being the lucky recipient of the instruments. The ES
Beginner Band and Singers United Choirs visited the
school to interview teachers and conduct research into the
needs of the school. Having identified useful instruments,
Festive Fundraiser (Photo: Tim Barnsley & Linh Quach)
these were purchased and delivered by these ES students
who also performed for the school. The Music teacher
from 20/10 has received professional development this year
in music education through spending time with our ECC
music teacher as part of the extended ECERP (Early
Childhood Educational Renovation Programme). Their
students have had fun learning and using these instruments
this year.
Students from the 20/10 Kindergarten attended our Festive
Fundraiser night and performed, "Chú ếch con", a song
loved by Vietnamese children of many generations. They
were proud to be a part of this wonderful night supporting
Vietnamese community.
Thank you to all the performers and people who made this
wonderful event possible and to your support for our
community projects.
Congratulations to the students for their sparkling
performances at this year’s Festive Fundraiser. In Music
lessons leading up to the event, the children were eager and
excited to perform. They worked diligently to learn all of
the songs and corresponding actions. In the performance,
they were confident and they performed beautifully. Thank
you to all of the students, teachers and parents for their
hard work and continued support of our Music programme.

On Monday December 8, as part of the ES Service
Learning programme, the ASA ‘Tet Bag Appeal’ group had
a fieldtrip to the Red River Area where the students met
with members of the Red River Community. This gave
them a great chance to enhance their understanding of
Service Learning. It was a very interesting trip for the
students and a good opportunity for the students to initiate
their own Service Learning Action towards the community.
The focus of ‘The Tet Bag Appeal’ is to provide families in
the Red River Community with a greater means to
celebrate Tet. Prior to the field trip, the students worked in
small groups to prepare questions and when they got there,
they interviewed some local people to find out what the
people want for their Tet celebration. The students
employed excellent communication and cooperation skills
when they asked the questions in English with some of the
students then translating these questions into Vietnamese.
Now that we have visited the Red River Community, the
students will start their ‘Tet Bag Appeal’ campaign to call
for the UNIS Hanoi community to donate to their “Tet
Bag Appeal” activity. Stay tuned for more updates and
information on how you can help.
With the weather getting cooler and
everyone dressing warmer we are starting
to see a lot of students coming to PE
lessons in incorrect uniform. As it states in
the elementary handbook, students are
required to wear a UNIS Hanoi-related
shirt and shorts to PE lessons. In winter,
students can also wear a UNIS Hanoi tracksuit top and
bottoms.
We are seeing a lot of jeans and woolen dresses which are
not only inappropriate for activity but also hold sweat and
The UNIS Hanoi Aquathlon
2015 will take place
on Saturday, February
28th and all are invited to
take part in this event! With
more than two months left to get ready, you and your
family have an exciting opportunity to share in some fun
and fitness together!
The Aquathlon preparation season has already started as
part of the ASA 2 winter session, and many of our fine
students have already begun to train for this unique
activity.
The sport of aquathlon consists of a continuous, two-stage
race involving swimming followed by running. Families,
students teams and individual participants are welcome to
take part, and to choose from different race categories –
Individual participants, Students Teams and Family Teams.
We offer a shorter, Junior, version of the race for younger
elementary students and their parents, as well as a more
challenging race for older students and their parents.
Information about the UNIS Hanoi Aquathlon 2015 can be
found HERE. Registration will begin straight after winter
break on January 5th and continue until the 150th
registrant.
This year every participant will receive a bag specially
designed for the event.
are therefore unhygienic and can increase chances of being
sick when returning outside. Some students are also
wearing long sleeve tops underneath their PE shirt, which
has the same effect. As our lessons are in the climatecontrolled sports centre, students can wear alternative
warm clothing over the top of their PE uniform and then
remove it when they get to lessons.
Many thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Thanks to the SCO's support and funding, new touchpads
for the pool were purchased and tried out last Saturday.

Operations teams, as well to parents for your generous
support!
Get a chance to train with the Real Madrid

Hanoi May 2015.
The Real Madrid coaches, who would be
assisted by a team of specially selected

unique opportunity of being coached and trained in
methods used by not only players like Cristiano Ronaldo,
Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Sergio Ramos, but many

From Sunday the 16th of November to the 19th of
November, 3 students from our Operation Smile Service
Learning group - Tobias, Seung Yoo, and Nozima - went
on a Service trip to help out at the 2014 Operation Smile
International Mission in Vinh City, Nghe An Province,
Vietnam. It was an amazing experience. About 100 people,
from different parts of the world, volunteered to be in Vinh
to support children having surgery on cleft lips and cleft
palates. Having a cleft lip or palate is basically just being
born with a gap in either your lip or your palate, and
sometimes people are born with both a cleft lip and palate.
It was a great experience to get to support this mission, so
that we could see for ourselves what our Service group is
working to improve. It really worked as a motivational
factor to be able to see that the things we are doing actually
help people, and also to get to see how much it meant for
the people who received treatment for their cleft lips and
palates.
Of course, we could not perform any of the operations, but
we got to help out with organizational things such as:
helping the patients around the hospital, organizing their
surgery records, and also playing with the kids before their
operations. It was a lot of fun. We also got to meet a great
group of like-minded students who had also volunteered to
help, so it was easy to connect with them making the trip
even more memorable.
The trip was so much fun, and it is definitely something all
3 of us would recommend other students to participate in.
Seeing the kids who were going through something that
would change their life forever was amazing and we
wouldn't hesitate - given the chance - to do it all again.
