Class 12I’s trip to Flamingo Dai Lai has officially come to an end, leaving behind countless laughs, unforgettable memories, and emotions that are hard to put into words in these final days of high school. More than just a relaxing getaway, this field trip was a precious chance for everyone to slow down, enjoy the moment, and truly spend quality time together before stepping into a brand-new journey ahead.
Throughout the trip, 12I shared many amazing experiences together:



TNIS would like to congratulate and recognize Class 12I for their strong teamwork, positive energy, and maturity shown in every moment of the trip. A special thank you also goes to Ms. Phuong (Rachel) and advisor Mr. Pieter Van Staden for their dedication and support in making this journey complete and truly memorable.
May these memories stay with you for many years to come. And no matter how far life takes you, when you return to TNIS, you will always remember your class, your school, your teachers, and the friends who once made up such an unforgettable part of your youth.
