We've all been there, trying to stay alive on a cup of coffee in the middle of the night, cramming for the final the night before the big test. In fact, you might be one of the 69.7% of students who reported that they cram before exams. In fact, 38.1% say they "frequently" wait until just before an exam to study, and another 5.8% say they "always" do so (International Neuropsychiatric Disease Journal, 2024). While these activities require intense focus, new science suggests that reducing overall focus capacity actually improves overall productivity.

Có một sự thật mà bất kể học sinh nào cũng hiểu đặc biệt là các WISers trường mình rằng khoảng thời gian hạnh phúc nhất chẳng phải đầu năm học, mà là lúc vừa thi xong! Lúc không còn deadline dí sát mặt, lúc không còn cảnh “học bài chưa?” mỗi tối, bầu không khí trong trường tự nhiên cũng nhẹ nhàng, thư giãn hơn hẳn. Tuy nhiên đi kèm với niềm vui ấy lại là một vấn đề muôn thuở: “Bây giờ chúng mình nên làm gì cho đỡ chán?”. WISers Communication hoàn toàn hiểu nỗi lòng ấy của các WISers, nên sau đây chúng mình sẽ gợi ý một số thứ các bạn có thể làm trong hai tuần cuối cùng của năm học 2025 - 2026 này nhé!
Teacher’s Day reminds us how deeply our teachers shape who we become—through knowledge, patience, and unwavering belief in their students. Today, we send our heartfelt thanks to all WSSG teachers and wish them joy and fulfillment on every journey ahead.
Students have two moods when they receive their IELTS band scores: over the moon and ready to celebrate, or disappointed to their core because they did not meet or come close to their aim. IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System, an English proficiency test that challenges your writing, speaking, reading, and listening skills. IELTS is especially important because not only do thousands of universities require it for admissions, but it also opens many doors for future career opportunities. Here at Wellspring Saigon, WISers are currently in the process of reviewing for the upcoming tests held in April.
Một ngày của học sinh Wellspring dường như kín đặc không còn chỗ cho hơi thở. Sau giờ học, bài tập toán, văn anh,.. dường như chất đầy. Với những bạn năng động hơn, quỹ thời gian ấy còn bị san sẻ cho đội tuyển, dự án,... Nhưng dù có là ai, chúng ta cũng đều đang sống trong một nhịp điệu dày đặc công việc, nơi bài tập trở thành nỗi lo quen thuộc. Có những đêm đồng hồ đã tíc tắc qua con số 11, 12 mà ánh đèn bàn của nhiều WISers vẫn sáng rực trong đêm chỉ để kịp làm xong bài tập. Thật ra, trong guồng quay vội vã đó, điều học sinh mất đi chẳng phải là thời gian học tập mà chính là thời gian nghỉ ngơi - một nhu cầu tưởng chừng dễ dàng mà giờ đây ngày càng quý hiếm.
