Models-designing, picture exhibitions, talk shows… are activities that UTS students have executed in the subject of Literature to transform the literary values into practice. This time, UTS-ers have tried new forms of recreating classical literary works through the project “Theatricalization of Literature and History works” at UTS. UTS students have fully conveyed the hidden human values in immortal poems and stories right on the UTS stage. Every sentence in the work is personified through realistic expressions, dialogues, and actions that make the viewers immerse themselves in the world inside the book and run the gamut of emotions. The comments and encouragement from the “genuine” juries include Director and Actor Nguyen Truong Thịnh; Ambassador of Miss Sea Island 2022 Nguyen Hong Khai Vy and UTS educators have partially contributed to refining UTS-ers’ acting and motivated them to explore their own interests and abilities. UTS is very proud of your efforts and congratulate to the success of the project “Theatricalization of Literature and History works”.

The warmth of Christmas does not come from the furnace’s heat or from a cup of hot chocolate, yet it is widely understood as the sharing between humans. And the Christmas atmosphere at UTS has been mellowed by sequences of activities to spread out the love throughout the week. The music that starts the day, the decoration in each class, every donated item and the clear singing from Primary students are simply ordinary activities. Yet it has generated a classical, cozy Christmas atmosphere and conveyed meaningful human values to the UTS Community. Christmas Concert on December 23, 2022 has ended a fulfill and lovely “season of giving”. All proceeds from the Christmas activities at UTS will be donated to charities. Ruth Carter Stapleton once said: “Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most.” And this is the truest Christmas of the entire UTS Community! Let’s look back at the meaningful moments from last night!

This visit was a great opportunity for UTS to acquire useful suggestions and instructions from CIS evaluators – who have qualifications and experience in working with high-quality international schools and organizations. Moreover, this is also an important milestone for the UTS community to be able to comprehensively and pragmatically evaluate all the School’s drivers based on the CIS International Accreditation Framework. Accordingly, we can identify our strengths, and areas to improve and set clearer goals for the School’s development. We are committed to this challenging but exciting journey to CIS accreditation After this visit, UTS will enter a Self-study phase based on the evaluators’ report.
