International Day 2026 at AHI – A Celebration of Cultures and Community

Posted on by Gary Ly

On 3 April 2026, Anne Hill International School (AHI) Primary Campus hosted a vibrant festival of colours, music and traditions as we celebrated International Day. This annual event is one of the most anticipated highlights of our school calendar, bringing together students, parents and teachers to celebrate. With more than 30 nationalities represented, International Day 2026 offered a joyful opportunity to learn, share and connect through culture. 

 

Global Citizenship Through International Day 

At AHI, International Day is more than a celebration. It complements our curriculum on global citizenship and intercultural learning by encouraging students to respect diverse perspectives, communicate across cultures, and engage with global challenges. Through this experience, they develop intercultural awareness and grow into compassionate, well informed global citizens. They also learn to understand the connections between cultures and environments.

 

The Country Parade: A Showcase of Diversity 

International Day 2026 at Anne Hill International School began with the lively Country Parade, a highlight that filled the campus with pride and excitement. Our AHI students carried their flags high, representing more than thirty nationalities across our diverse school community. In addition, one or two students from each country wore traditional costumes, creating a colourful display that celebrated cultural identity and belonging.

As the MC announced, “Watch as our students represent nations from all corners of the globe in their stunning traditional costumes,” the audience responded with smiles and applause. Moreover, parents, teachers, and students enjoyed the Country Parade together, applauding warmly as each flag was raised. Every performance and costume told its own cultural story. They reflected the global diversity and warmth that make Anne Hill International School’s community truly special.

Sharing her feelings about the day, one parent expressed:

“The best part is seeing the energy of the cultural performances, the pride in the Country Parade, and the creativity within the booths. It’s a beautiful showcase of what happens when our parents and the school collaborate to create something truly magical for the children.”

Highlights from the Stage 

Following the Country Parade, the stage at Anne Hill International School came alive with cultural performances that celebrated our diverse school community. Families and students worked together to share traditions, creating a truly international atmosphere. Moreover, the variety of performances reflected the global diversity of our learners and the pride they take in their heritage.

There were many kinds of performances, ranging from Korean dance and Taekwondo to lively Indian rhythms, heartfelt Russian singing, and a graceful Indonesian dance. In addition, Vietnam stood out with the famous bamboo dance. The steady beat of the bamboo and the careful steps of the dancers drew loud applause. This performance showcased teamwork, tradition, and joy, quickly becoming one of the highlights of the celebration.

Japan followed with an energetic performance that combined movement and music. Both parents and students danced together, filling the stage with excitement and laughter. As a result, the atmosphere was lively, and many in the audience captured the moment on their phones to remember how the performance brought everyone together.

Each performance added something unique, demonstrating the creativity and pride of our learners and families. Taken together, they reflected the cultural richness of our global school community and the spirit of celebration that makes International Day at Anne Hill International School so meaningful.

Global Booths and Cultural Discoveries 

Anne Hill International School was transformed into a colourful celebration of international culture as sixteen booths filled the campus with creativity and excitement. Each booth offered something unique, from authentic food and handmade crafts to traditional games and cultural storytelling. This allowed students, families, and the wider school community to explore, learn, and enjoy the richness of global diversity in one joyful setting.

Countries represented included Vietnam, India, Korea, Japan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia, Russia, the USA, France, Germany, Singapore and Malaysia, Mexico, Kazakhstan, and Australia. Each booth contributed to a truly global celebration.

As one student joyfully shared, “I like all the booths because they are all so yummy!”—a simple yet heartfelt reflection that captured the excitement of the day.

The USA booth offered refreshing lemonade, a simple treat to cool down during the celebration 

 

The Indonesia booth showcased traditional shadow puppetry, highlighting artistry and cultural heritage 

 

An Interactive Global Journey 

To make the experience more engaging, students carried their own International Day “passports” – special cards used to collect stamps at each booth. As they explored different countries and cultures, they completed their passports and later redeemed them for a special gift. This turned the day into a journey across countries and cultures.

Families joined in too, voting for their favourite booths through QR codes. This added an interactive and modern element to the celebration. These activities encouraged everyone to participate fully and created a sense of connection across generations.

As the event ended, votes were carefully counted, and the AHI community gathered in anticipation of the results. Congratulations to this year’s winners: Korea Booth (1st Place), Indonesia Booth (2nd Place), Vietnam Booth (3rd Place), and Japan Booth (Most Loved Award). While not every booth received an award, each one stood out for its creativity, dedication, and the heartfelt effort invested by our families. This made the celebration even more meaningful.

A parent also shared their feelings about the celebration, saying: “It’s really nice seeing so many different traditions and cultures, the food is so special too.” 

 

The award ceremony united parents and students, celebrating creativity and diversity  

We extend our sincere thanks to all parents and families for your incredible effort, creativity, and enthusiasm. Your contributions brought cultures and traditions from around the world to life on campus. As they continue their journey, they will nurture curiosity, embrace diversity, and grow into global citizens in the future.

Introducing BatOnRoute Safe: Enhancing School Bus Safety and Communication

Posted on by Gary Ly

At Anne Hill International School (AHI), the safety and well-being of our students is always our top priority. Every decision reflects our commitment to creating a secure, supportive environment for the whole community. To build on this commitment, we are introducing BatOnRoute Safe, a new school bus management app that will make journeys safer and communication smoother for families who use our bus service. 

What Is BatOnRoute Safe? 

BatOnRoute Safe is a mobile application created specifically for schools to help parents track bus routes in real time, receive timely updates, and securely authorise designated persons for pickups. These features keep families connected and informed throughout their child’s daily journey to and from school. In addition, they reinforce clear and reliable communication between home and school. By bringing together practical technology and care, BatOnRoute Safe gives parents greater peace of mind and makes school transport safer and more reliable. 

Key Features for Parents  

BatOnRoute Safe offers a range of practical tools designed to make school transport safer and easier for families. Parents can track the school bus route in real time and view estimated departure and arrival times, helping them plan pickup and drop-off schedules with confidence. The app also provides instant notifications and updates from the bus team, ensuring that families are always informed of any changes or important messages. In addition, parents can report student absences directly through the app, streamlining communication with the school. For added security, BatOnRoute Safe includes a feature that allows parents to authorise designated persons to collect their child, giving families peace of mind that pickups are handled safely and reliably. 

 

 Partnering for safer journeys: AHI and BatOnRoute Safe 

 

Implementation Timeline 

To make sure the launch of BatOnRoute Safe is smooth and effective, the rollout will happen in two phases. This gradual approach lets us test the system carefully, gather feedback, and build confidence among families before it becomes part of daily school life.

The first phase will take place from March to April 2026. During this time, the app will be piloted on selective buses. This stage helps us refine operational procedures and make sure everything works smoothly.

Once the pilot is complete, we will move into the second phase. In this stage, BatOnRoute Safe will be gradually introduced across all school buses. Families will have the chance to get familiar with the app, ask questions, and share feedback. By the time the next academic year begins, the system will be fully adopted. As a result, every student will benefit from safer journeys and clearer communication between home and school.

The AHI School Bus where student safety always comes first 

As this project moves forward, we will continue to share updates with parents in a timely manner. Detailed instructions on how to use the application will be provided at each stage, making the transition smooth and straightforward. This journey is not just about technology, but about building stronger connections between families and the school. With BatOnRoute Safe, we look forward to creating an even safer and more connected transportation experience for our students and their families.

AHI Roadshow 2026 Recap – Joyful Easter Moments & Community Spirit

Posted on by Gary Ly

On 4th April, Anne Hill International School (AHI) hosted the Easter Fun Roadshow at Estella Place mall in Ho Chi Minh City. The event welcomed more than 300 families and created a joyful space where children, parents and the wider community came together. It was a chance to celebrate Easter through play, creativity and cultural exchange. The Roadshow, one of the most anticipated family events of the year, offered a mix of performances, workshops and interactive experiences. In addition, the programme featured Zumba sessions and traditional dances by Indonesian and Korean students, showing the diversity and energy of the AHI community.

Performances That Captured the Crowd

The Easter Fun Roadshow at Estella Place was a true celebration of community spirit and joyful learning.

Their performances were graceful and engaging, and the audience responded warmly by clapping along and showing appreciation for the creativity on stage.

The excitement grew with a Taekwondo demonstration that impressed the crowd with its power and precision. A TikTok dance performance added a modern spark, drawing children to copy the moves while parents encouraged them from the sidelines. These moments transformed the shopping centre into a vibrant hub of family fun, where every smile and cheer added to the celebration.

Children took part in hands-on activities including clay modelling, colouring, Jesmonite crafts, bracelet making, face painting, robotics play and interactive Science Talk sessions.

Meanwhile, science talks, pop quizzes and bingo games kept the atmosphere lively, giving families plenty of reasons to stay engaged. Frotz ice cream and Nuvi milk were also available, redeemable with vouchers given to kids who joined any activity. Parents and children moved easily from one activity to the next.

How Montessori Education Nurtures Independence at Anne Hill International School  

Posted on by Gary Ly

At Anne Hill International School (AHI), we see every child as naturally curious and full of potential. Our Preschool embraces the Montessori approach, a philosophy that places children at the centre of their learning. With hands-on experiences and the freedom to explore at their own pace, children grow into confident learners who find joy in discovery. 

What is Montessori? 

The Montessori approach, developed by Dr Maria Montessori in the early 1900s, has shaped education across the globe for more than a century. At its core, Montessori nurtures independence and helps children grow into confident learners by encouraging them to explore at their own pace. Rather than being directed step by step, children are guided to make choices, practise skills, and discover knowledge in ways that feel meaningful to them. 

In a Montessori classroom, learning is designed to be full of joy and purposeful. Activities are carefully prepared to spark curiosity and allow children to take ownership of their progress. Teachers act as supportive guides, creating an environment where every child can experience the joy in learning and develop the resilience and problem-solving skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. 

As Dr Montessori once said, “The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.” (Source: Strodemontessori) 

Montessori in Practice at Anne Hill International School 

At Anne Hill International School, Montessori is part of everyday life. Children are encouraged to choose activities that capture their interest, from threading beads, sweeping, to exploring materials that introduce shapes, colours, numbers, and sounds. Even simple routines, like greeting one another or tidying up, become opportunities to practise respect and responsibility. These daily experiences help children grow in independence, build focus, and enjoy learning through play and exploration.  

Montessori is a signature element of the AHI Early Years experience, emphasising self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and purposeful exploration. Children engage in five key areas of learning that form the foundation of their growth: Practical Life, where they build independence through everyday tasks; Sensorial, which sharpens their senses and awareness; Language, supporting communication and literacy; Mathematics, encouraging logical thinking and problem-solving; and Culture, which broadens their understanding of the world around them. 

Through carefully designed materials and activities, children develop independence, concentration, coordination, and a sense of order. The built-in “control of error” within Montessori materials encourages children to reflect on and self-correct their learning, building confidence and autonomy. This approach also lays strong foundations for future subject learning, including Mathematics, Science, and the Humanities.

Our Teacher’s Perspective on Montessori Education 

Ms. Sherley, one of our dedicated Montessori teachers, has been part of AHI for over five years. With a background in Education and Montessori training, she brings both knowledge and warmth to her classroom. She shares: 

“My role as a Montessori teacher is to guide, prepare the environment, and offer lessons that match each child’s readiness. What I love most about teaching Montessori is watching each child explore and master their skills. Respect for others and independence are at the heart of every activity.” 

Step inside our classrooms and discover how Montessori shapes everyday learning. Watch the video below to hear directly from Ms. Sherley and see how Montessori learning comes alive in our classrooms. 

Montessori Meets the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) 

At Anne Hill International School, Montessori is thoughtfully complemented by the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC). Both approaches share a commitment to holistic development. Montessori nurtures independence and responsibility, while IEYC emphasises exploration, discovery, and respect for diversity. Together, they create a balanced learning environment that supports the whole child academically, socially, and emotionally. 

The IEYC forms the foundation of our preschool programme. It is a research-based international framework designed specifically for children aged 2–5, aligning with global best practices in early childhood education. 

Learning is organised around engaging thematic units that capture children’s interests and imagination. Through a play-based and enquiry-led approach, children develop across key areas including personal, social, emotional, and cognitive growth. The IEYC ensures that learning is both meaningful and developmentally appropriate, supporting children as they build knowledge, skills, and understanding in a holistic way. 

By combining Montessori with the IEYC, Anne Hill International School offers children the best of both worlds: the freedom to become confident learners through self-directed exploration, and the structure of a globally recognised curriculum that nurtures curiosity and the joy in learning. 

Besides Montessori and IEYC, we also introduce Jolly Phonics and Numicon, helping them build strong foundations in literacy and numeracy. We also offer second languages such as Mandarin and Vietnamese, while outdoor learning and after-school activities (ASA) provide children plenty of opportunities to explore, play, and grow. 

Learn more about our Preschool curriculum.

Preparing Children for Life  

At Anne Hill International School, families can feel confident that their children are learning in a place that values curiosity, respect, and independence. The Montessori approach here is not just a method but part of everyday life. Through daily routines and activities, children learn to be capable and confident, preparing them not only for school but also for life beyond the classroom. 

This shows AHI’s commitment to caring for the whole child academically, socially, and emotionally. It provides a foundation that helps children thrive today and gives them skills they will carry into the future.

Emotional Resilience Workshop for Parents: Learning as a Parent at AHI

Posted on by Gary Ly

On Wednesday, 18 March 2026, Anne Hill International School (AHI) kick-started the first session of its Parenting Workshop series for this academic year. The opening workshop focused on emotional resilience, a meaningful theme chosen to support parents in guiding their children through life’s emotional challenges.  

Hosted by Ms. Mili Manek, Mental Health Counsellor and Educator, Founder of Ehsaas, the session took place at the AHI Primary Campus (31 Giang Van Minh) from 8:30 to 9:30 AM. Parents gathered for an engaging morning of reflection, discussion, and practical learning, marking the start of a programme designed to strengthen family connections and equip parents with valuable skills.  

About the Speaker  

Ms. Mili Manek is a certified mental wellness counsellor with more than 20 years in international school settings. She is also the founder of Ehsaas by Mili, an initiative dedicated to supporting children and families in fostering emotional well-being.  

Drawing on her deep understanding of both classroom life and family dynamics, Ms. Mili brings together school-based insights with personalised emotional support. Her work ensures children feel valued and supported, both at home and in the classroom.  

  

Ms. Mili was sharing her insights on emotional resilience 

Introducing the Values Journey   

Mr Benjamin Cracknell, Primary Vice Principal for Academics and Pastoral Care (Years 1–3), opened the workshop by sharing AHI’s vision and the nine core values that guide our curriculum. He explained that these values, together with qualities such as resilience, a global outlook and holistic learning, shape each child’s journey. He also highlighted the importance of home and school working together, helping children feel secure and confident.

Exploring Real-Life Scenarios  

Throughout the workshop, parents explored many relatable situations that children often face. One scenario asked: “What would you do if your child came home in tears, saying no one wanted to play with them?” Discussions around such examples highlighted how everyday struggles can become opportunities to nurture resilience and problem-solving skills. Parents also engaged in meaningful conversations and actively participated in the discussions.   

Together, parents reflected on the balance between stepping in as the Protector and stepping back as the Coach, allowing children to discover their own strength and coping strategies. As Ms. Mili emphasises, “Resilience is not about avoiding struggle; it is about discovering the tools within ourselves to meet it.”

Parent Reflections  

Parents appreciated the interactive format, which included scenario-based questions and group sharing. Ms. Mili was also approachable and always ready to answer their questions, making the workshop feel supportive and accessible. One parent shared: “It was informative. As a parent of multiple children, it’s helpful to know that each child can have a different emotional reaction.”  

 Another parent also mentioned: “Knowing my child is in this school makes me very happy. The school provides meaningful events like the Emotional Resilience Workshop, which are helpful for parents and build a strong community. I hope more workshops like this will be organised in the future.”    

 

Ms. Mili was listening and responding to the parents 

The workshop also provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere, complete with refreshments and a light-hearted lucky draw, adding to the sense of community and connection among parents. It also encouraged parents to connect and learn from one another.  

 

A moment of joy – Ms. Mili was presenting a gift to the lucky draw winner 

Looking Ahead  

This session marked the beginning of AHI’s new Parent Workshop Series, designed to create space for meaningful conversations about children’s growth and emotional well-being. By equipping parents with practical insights, the school aims to strengthen parent-child connections and foster resilience in young learners.  

We thank all the parents who joined us and Ms. Mili for leading such an insightful session, and look forward to welcoming everyone to future workshops that offer opportunities to learn, share and grow together.

Posted on by Gary Ly

On 6th December, at Hồ Xuân Hương Stadium (Ho Chi Minh City), Anne Hill International School (AHI), under the Anne Hill Education Group (AHEG), proudly hosted the AnneHillversary School Concert – “Celebrating a Colourful Decade”. This landmark event marked 10 years of international education at AHI, reflecting the school’s continuous growth, resilience, and long-term commitment to nurturing confident, compassionate, and globally minded learners.

As one of the most anticipated school events of the year, the anniversary concert brought together nearly 1,600 members, including students, parents, teachers, school leaders, and long-standing members of the AHI community. Through a dynamic combination of music, dance, and storytelling, the school concert vividly portrayed AHI’s journey over the past decade, which is shaped by learning, perseverance, and strong partnerships. 

Ahead of the school concert, students and families enjoyed a variety of booth activities in a vibrant atmosphere.

10 Years of Growth Through Performance 

The 10-year anniversary concert was thoughtfully designed to reflect key milestones in Anne Hill International School’s development. Each performance represented a stage in the school’s journey, highlighting the values that define AHI: holistic learning, creativity, confidence, collaboration, and global citizenship. Throughout the concert, it was easy to sense parents’ excitement and pride as they watched their children shine on stage, many for the very first time. We invite you to revisit its most memorable highlights through the video below.

Community at the Heart of Anne Hill 

Beyond the performances, the concert highlighted the strong sense of connection between families and the school, which is an essential part of the AHI community. This spirit of trust and collaboration was strongly reflected in the perspectives of the school’s leadership. Ms. Anne Hill, Co-Founder of AHEG, stated that: “The unwavering trust and companionship of families and educators have been the true foundation of the school’s success, describing the past ten years as a journey built on genuine collaboration and mutual respect.”

Ms. Anne Hill, Founder of Anne Hill Education Group, shared her reflections during the anniversary concert.

Reinforcing this shared spirit, Mr. Abraham Elias, Executive Director of Anne Hill Education Group, underscored the importance of sustained collaboration between the school and its wider community.

Mr. Abraham Elias, Executive Director, spoke on Anne Hill’s vision of partnership and community engagement.

Most significantly, this close partnership is deeply felt and proudly expressed by families within the AHI community. Sharing her perspective during and after the concert, Ms. Julia Doan, a parent with children studying at Anne Hill Education Group, appreciated the importance of committed and visionary school leadership in building a strong educational environment. Recognising the dedication of Ms. Anne Hill and the school team over the past decade, she added, “Compared to ten years ago, Anne Hill today has grown significantly—stronger and more developed.”

Introducing the AHI House System and School Mascot 

Adding to the excitement of the evening, Mr. Sean O’Maonaigh, Head of School, shared an important announcement that sparked strong interest among students and the wider school community. Beginning in January, Anne Hill International School will officially introduce a House System, an initiative led by the Student Council to strengthen student voice, belonging, and school spirit.

The new House System will be based on four mythical creatures—Phoenix, Griffin, Pegasus, and Dragon—and will create opportunities for inter-house activities, collaboration, and friendly competitions throughout the school year. Alongside this, Mr. Sean also announced the upcoming launch of AHI’s first official school mascot: the Turtle. In a later phase, our students will be actively involved in shaping and creating the final mascot design to reinforce AHI’s commitment to student agency and creativity.

A Decade of Shaping Futures — and Beyond 

 The 10th AnneHillversary School Concert – “Celebrating a Colourful Decade” marked a significant milestone in Anne Hill International School’s journey, reflecting a decade shaped by purpose, community, and steady progress.

School leadership was marking the 10-year milestone with a celebratory cake-cutting ceremony.

As Anne Hill International School moves into its next chapter, the school continues to focus on strengthening academic quality, enhancing learning environments, and delivering a personalised international education that nurtures every student’s growth. Looking ahead, Anne Hill Education Group plans to expand its academic pathway to include secondary education, responding to the evolving needs of students and families. This direction is further supported by AHEG’s strategic partnership with Nutifood Joint Stock Company in 2024, strengthening the Group’s capacity to advance its long-term educational vision. 

Building on a decade of steady growth, Anne Hill Education Group reaffirms its aspiration to become a leading international education provider in the eastern area of Ho Chi Minh City—offering a safe, inspiring, and future-ready learning environment for students and families.

What is the International Primary Curriculum (IPC)?

Posted on by Gary Ly

This guide introduces the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), a globally recognised framework designed to enhance your child’s learning journey. We delve into its philosophy, structure, and unique features, providing practical advice to help you actively engage in your child’s education.

Il panorama del gioco digitale in Italia è cresciuto in modo significativo negli ultimi anni, attirando l’attenzione di utenti sempre più interessati a piattaforme affidabili e ben strutturate.

 

Informarsi prima di scegliere dove giocare è fondamentale, soprattutto quando si parla di sicurezza, trasparenza e qualità dell’esperienza complessiva.

 

Proprio per questo motivo, molte guide e portali dedicati ai casino online italiani aiutano gli utenti a orientarsi in un mercato ampio e in continua evoluzione.

 

Uno degli aspetti più apprezzati dai giocatori italiani è la possibilità di trovare informazioni chiare su bonus, promozioni e condizioni di utilizzo.

 

Capire come funzionano i requisiti di scommessa e quali giochi contribuiscono realmente al completamento delle offerte evita sorprese spiacevoli.

 

Un altro elemento centrale è la varietà dei giochi disponibili, che spazia dalle slot moderne ai classici da tavolo come roulette e blackjack.

 

Le piattaforme più curate propongono anche sezioni live con croupier reali, creando un’atmosfera simile a quella di un casinò fisico.

 

La qualità del software gioca un ruolo decisivo, poiché influisce sulla fluidità del gioco, sulla grafica e sull’esperienza complessiva dell’utente.

 

Molti giocatori italiani prestano grande attenzione anche ai metodi di pagamento, preferendo soluzioni rapide, sicure e ben conosciute.

 

Carte, portafogli elettronici e sistemi digitali moderni rendono depositi e prelievi più semplici e veloci.

 

Un servizio clienti efficiente rappresenta un ulteriore punto di forza, soprattutto quando è disponibile in lingua italiana.

 

Poter contare su un’assistenza chiara e reattiva aumenta la fiducia nella piattaforma e migliora l’esperienza di gioco.

 

Non meno importante è il tema del gioco responsabile, che oggi occupa un ruolo centrale nel settore.

 

Le piattaforme più serie offrono strumenti di autolimitazione, pause di gioco e informazioni utili per mantenere il controllo.

 

Questo approccio aiuta i giocatori a vivere il gioco come una forma di intrattenimento e non come un rischio.

 

Anche l’accessibilità da dispositivi mobili è diventata essenziale, considerando quanto spesso si utilizzi lo smartphone.

 

Interfacce ottimizzate e tempi di caricamento rapidi rendono il gioco più piacevole ovunque ci si trovi.

 

Nel complesso, scegliere con attenzione dove giocare significa puntare su qualità, sicurezza e trasparenza.

 

Con le giuste informazioni, ogni utente può trovare una piattaforma adatta alle proprie esigenze e al proprio stile di gioco.
