270 students, staff and parents from BISV took part in the Terry Fox Run on Sunday.

“I’m not doing my run to become rich or famous. To me, being famous is not the idea of the run. The only important part is finding a cure for cancer. Don’t forget that. I’m no different from any of you – I’m no better, no worse. You are cheering and clapping for me but if you have given US$ 1, then you are part of the Marathon of Hope. Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.”

Terry Fox July 11, 1980.

28 students (and nearly as many excited parents!!) travelled to Shrewsbury International School, Bangkok, Thailand to take part in this year’s U15 FOBISSEA Games. The students were outstanding and were excellent ambassadors for BIS Vietnam. All the results and pictures can be seen below.
