June 5 is designated by the United Nations as World Environment Day. This is an opportunity for us to raise awareness for the community and take active actions to protect our environment. Environmental protection is a long journey which cannot be done within one or two days. It requires us to have responsibility, patience and especially understanding so that we can act properly to the surrounding environment. How can parents help children understand more about environmental protection and encourage them to take good actions towards sustainability? Let’s have a look at following suggestions from the US Environmental organization (Environment America). 1. LEARN ABOUT PLANTS – Explore interesting information about the Earth, plants and animals and their current status through books, television and Youtube videos; – The whole family can create beautìul pictures with dried leaves and flowers; – Take advantage of the balcony (for high-rise buildings and apartments) and the open space (for ordinary houses) to plant a small garden of lovely flowers and trees; – Play games to learn the origin of the foods we eat every day and how they are cultivated and harvested. 2. LEARN ABOUT WATERWAYS, PARKS AND CONSERVATION The water, air and land environments are factors that need to be nurtured and preserved. Parents and childredn can research on many issues such as: – Learn about the system of rivers, lakes, canals and canals in the neighborhood; – Learn about water pollution and some ways to reduce it; – Explore the role of parks, forests and tree planting in reducing air pollution and flooding; – Learn about the role of natural reservation; – Learn about types of soil in nature and their current condition. 3. LEARN ABOUT WAYS TO REDUCE WASTE Waste is one of the most urgent problems that need to be solved

The 2020-2021 school year marks a milestone for UTS’ Grade 5, 9 & 12 students in completing their education levels. For Grade 5 & 9, there are many interesting knowledge and experience waiting for you at a higher education level at UTS. For Grade 12, now is the time to demonstrate your confidence and bravery when officially going into the big sea and conquer new challenges in lives. Although the journey ahead will bring countless opportunities as well as obstacles, don’t forget that you are all members of UTS family – we are strong, talented and full of enthusiasm. Remember that we are always here, ready to help and welcome you with open arms! * These moments have been saved before the serious situation of the pandemic *

  At UTS, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students are specially taken care by the Homeroom Assistance Agent. Our little students are the ones who are still unfamiliar with the new learning environment. The support and guidance of the teachers are stepping-stones for them to gradually adapt to school and develop their own abilities. Talking about her work, Mrs. Hong Quyen – Grade 2 Homeroom Assistance Agent shared: “Every morning, I accompany UTS-ers on the school bus. All students’ activities at school such as learning, eating and other personal needs are closely monitored and helped if necessary. My working day just ends when all the children have returned home safely after a day studying at UTS.” In the classroom, students are equipped with both academic knowledge and soft skills. Then outside, there are also special “teachers” who are ready to instruct them about the simple activities in life. Ms. Thanh Dan shared: “Although I am responsible for supporting Grade 1 students with personal activities at UTS, I always try to let the children gradually learn to be independent and actively complete the tasks. If they depend on me too much, they will have a hard time without my help when they get older.” “This job is hard, but it brings us a lot of joy. We love UTS’ students as our own kids. Therefore, we always strive to make them feel happy at school. During these days when UTS-ers had to study at home because of the pandemic, we miss them so much. We just hope the pandemic will be over in the next school year so that we can continue this special job!” – shared Mrs. Quyen. Each member of UTS family tries to nurture future talents to bring them the most comprehensive learning and playing environment. Let’s say
