The event marked the completion of the second phase of establishing SIS Halong which consists of a new classroom area, increasing its maximum capacity to more than 970 students, along with a modern football pitch and other supporting facilities.
On this occasion, OBV, the life skill education partner of KinderWorld, officially opened its first camp site in Halong. This is the first life skill education camp model in Quang Ninh, providing educational programmes through exploration activities, group activities, and other essential life skills for local teenagers and young adults, and for businesses and communities in general.
After the event, students and their parents were invited to participate in various recreational activities at the Summer Festival organised at the seven-hectare campus area of the school.
Speaking at the ceremony, Ricky Tan, president of KinderWorld International Education Enterprise, expressed his appreciation for the help and support of the authorities of Quang Ninh in keeping the project on schedule.
Tan believed that Singapore International School and Outward Bound Vietnam Life Skill Education Centre would contribute positively to the development of the local community’s education, and that in the future, after all phases of the school’s establishment would be completed, it can accommodate up to 1,500 students.
“We believe the education programmes of Singapore International School will provide the students all essential skills in the era of globalisation, as well as the knowledge to preserve traditional values. Students from all ages are encouraged to challenge and overcome their personal limits, broaden their experience through the life skill education programmes provided by Outward Bound Vietnam,” affirmed Tan.
Nguyen Duc Long, Chairman of the Quang Ninh People’s Committee expressed his pleasure during the ceremony, as for the first time ever, an international school has been officially opened in Quang Ninh.
Long said, “Quang Ninh is currently seeing fast economic development, and is seeing improvements in its facilities with the international airport, a series of highways, and the specialised international port. The number of international visitors to Quang Ninh for recreation and business will be growing more and more, therefore, the need for world-class services is very high. Currently, the province has a Vinmec Hospital, which is the first world-class service provider, and Singapore International School will be the second one.”
“With these essential services, Halong, and Quang Ninh in general, will attract investors and workers to reside and work here. In only ten years, students graduating from this school will be the high-quality work force needed to respond to the high rate of development of Quang Ninh," Long added.
