Thank you to Iain Frew, Ambassador to the British Embassy in Vietnam, for recognising the brave and ambitious leadership of HPL school leaders. Nguyen Sieu School have a huge commitment to cultivating exceptional teaching and learning practices with the adoption of the HPL philosophy and framework. They are enabling students to achieve outstanding outcomes and become global citizens. It was a pleasure to hear Iain talk about their ongoing journey to becoming a HPL accredited World Class School.

In the next few editions of the update we shall be featuring examples of HPL in action in school. The first piece to be highlighted demonstrates the value of a proactive reflective culture. HPL schools are by definition very reflective communities. The piece shown 'here', written by Lee Hawkins of the British International School of Bucharest, as part of his reflective commentary for the HPL Teacher Expert Award, shows how a reflective culture can help further parent engagement and the visibility and understanding of the HPL framework in the school community.
