Welcome to our New Staff

UNIS Welcomes our New Staff Members. New Staff arrived on Thursday, 9 September and have been busy orientating themselves and preparing for the first week of school.Although we at UNIS provided new staff with information about Hanoi and the school, some things – like the smells, the heat, the new food tastes – just can’t be described and can only be experienced. Many of our new staff have brought their children to Hanoi  and this presents even further challenges – which our expatriate parents at UNIS have all experienced.

Despite the challenges of settling in to a new country and new job, our new staff have already shown themselves to be dedicated, enthusiastic and willing to work together as a team to achieve our UNIS goals. We are very pleased to welcome such a warm and friendly group to our UNIS team. We wish you every success for the year ahead.
