The 5th of September marks the start of a brand new academic year for May 15 students. Over 20 guests were invited to attend the open ceremony and these included 12 government officials, a SAGA representative, representatives from Prudential Vietnam and International volunteers.

The special occasion was marked with; the Director's speech of the plans for the coming year, acknowledgement and rewards for teachers with outstanding achievements and the acknowledgments of the generous support that SAGA Charitable Trust and Atlas Industries has given the school.

The 6 students who will be leaving the school (as part of the Community Intergration Programme) were given some presents from the school and from the District, as tokens of encouragement and well wishes. All other students were given new books and stationery donated by Prudential Vietnam. The most special event of the ceremony however, was welcoming 11 sweetest fresh new faces who will start grade 1 this year with smiling faces and hopeful eyes.

We would like to thank the guests for sharing this occasion and for their generous gifts to the school and we wish all students a happy and fruitful academic year!
