Mary rejoined BIS HCMC in August 2025 as Primary Headteacher following her Headship of five years at our sister school, British Vietnamese International School, HCMC.  Mary is returning to BIS having been the Primary Deputy Headteacher of the TX and EY&I Campuses from 2015 to 2020.  Mary believes the purpose of education is to provide holistic support to all, enabling the individual to confidently access, develop and enjoy their talents both in core and creative areas of the curriculum, achieving recognition and celebration for their efforts.  

Above all, as Primary Headteacher, Mary ensures every student finds their “voice”.  With this Mary believes every young person has a place in the world, they simply need to be given opportunities and feel fulfilment, and as a result, they will find what makes them thrive in the ever-evolving future that educators are preparing them for.

Mary is a sports enthusiast and will always be training for an upcoming triathlon race in her free time.
