At the start of the school year, we launched our new UNIS Hanoi Campus Card payment system, replacing the previous payment platform. Designed to provide a seamless cashless experience, the new system integrates directly with your existing UNIS Hanoi ID cards and allows you to manage funds, track activity, and set family controls via the UNIS Hanoi Campus Card Portal.

Following the launch, we received valuable feedback and questions from parents regarding top-up options, transaction fees, shared family balances, and spending limits. To help clarify how the system works and address common concerns, we have compiled the detailed FAQ guide here.

Thanks to our parents, board members, school leaders and staff for coming together for workshops with Rosan Bosch, sharing ideas about how the spaces where children learn can spark curiosity, connection, and creativity. The opportunity to imagine the future of learning together, with families helping shape the conversation, is something special, and it is always wonderful to see such thoughtful conversations and enthusiasm across our community. Click here to know what our parents have to say!

On 28 August, we shared our approach to Safety During Severe Weather, including how we monitor conditions, makes operational decisions, and communicates with families.

This update builds on our 28 August communication and provides a live FAQs document that we will continue to update as additional questions arise. Read more
