LAUNCH OF THE “HAPPY SCHOOL” PAINTING CONTEST

With the theme “Nguyen Sieu Primary School – My Dream School,” the 2026–2027 painting contest for Grade 1 to Grade 5 students is an opportunity for them to observe, feel, and express through art their vision of a happy school today and in the future.

The contest officially launches on August 10, 2026. Students must complete and submit their artworks to their homeroom teachers by August 24, 2026. The Board of Judges is scheduled to evaluate the submissions on August 25–26, 2026.

FROM NGUYEN SIEU PRIMARY SCHOOL TODAY TO THE SCHOOL OF DREAMS

The contest encourages students to express their love for the school through artistic expression, while observing changes in the learning environment, envisioning Nguyen Sieu Primary School in the future, and conveying their wishes for a happy, modern, green, creative, and globally integrated school.

At our school, students can draw inspiration from familiar aspects of school life, such as the green, clean, and beautiful campus, modern buildings and classrooms, the library, STEAM spaces, playgrounds, and experiential areas. They can also capture creative lessons, cultural and sports activities, clubs, friendships, teachers, and memorable moments under the school roof.

In addition, students are free to imagine Nguyen Sieu Primary School in the future as a smart school equipped with AI-assisted learning, robots, digital classrooms, clean energy, and green learning spaces.

With no limits on creative expression, each painting can stem from a fond memory, something students love about the school, or a dream for the ideal learning environment they hope to experience in the future.
