February – A New Journey Begins with Courage

As we begin a new semester, Ms. Tran Thi Hong Ha – Principal of the MoET Program – shares her inspiring message about courage, encouraging Jaguars to face challenges and journeys.

The Year of the Snake has brought a vibrant, fresh, and lively energy to every street, every corner, and every home. Spring not only marks the beginning of a new year but is also a season of growth. For you, Spring is a milestone for progress – both physically and mentally – a time to receive loving wishes: “Wishing you to be good, grow up quickly, be confident, and excel in your studies!”

Returning to school after the Tet holiday, I am filled with joy as we welcome 2025 together – a year with promising challenges and high expectations ahead.

First, let’s celebrate the SISS Talented Engineers Team – our resilient Jaguars!

With steadfast determination and strong resolve, the teams SpaceX, Iron Man, and Innovation have brought great pride to our School at the Regional Round and the Final Round of the VEX Robotics Vietnam National Championship 2025. I am incredibly proud of you! I hope you will continue to uphold your passion and unwavering spirit to conquer the next challenges on the international stage. Let’s congratulate Team INNOVATION for their impressive performance at the National Final Round in Hanoi on February 22 – 23, 2025, where they proudly brought home the prestigious Energy Award and ranked in the top 9!

Jaguars! What helps people overcome challenges and achieve success?

I believe that courage is the most important factor. The courage to stay firm on your goals, not falter in the face of difficulties, and move forward with confidence.

Courage is not something distant – it is always within you. A courageous person isn’t someone without fear, but someone who dares to face it, speak up for what is right, and challenge themselves to grow.

Let courage guide you in the journey ahead at SISS!

Dare to step onto the stage, and dare to speak your voice! TEDx SISS Youth 2025 will be a fantastic opportunity for you to share diverse perspectives, enhance your communication skills, and gain confidence on stage. This is a valuable academic platform where you can build self-confidence, develop critical thinking, and improve your public speaking abilities. Prepare well and shine!

I wish my Jaguars a new year filled with joy. Always give your best to achieve the goals you have long dreamed of.

Goodbye, and see you all soon!
