The Flag Festival is one of the first events leading up to the grand gala of Ngay Hoi Anh Tai (NHAT), marking the return to the largest and most important event at Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted. At the Flag Festival, each and every major with its distinct characteristic raised its flag and chanted its slogan to establish its presence.

 Each specialized major has its own flag and slogan

Instead of wearing their typical school uniforms, students wore colorful shirts representing their majors on this special day. Speakers and microphones were also prepared so that the students could chant the slogans of their majors more enthusiastically. 

Excited Amsers as the event unfolded

As the 13 different flags rolled down in their 13 distinctive colors, simultaneous cheers of pride and joy erupted in one of Hanoi’s most prestigious schools. 

The creative spirit that makes Amsers who they are is expressed with full enthusiasm at the moment of flag release. This festival has always been an opportunity for all 13 majors to gather together and officially welcome a new NHAT season. It is also a precious opportunity for the new batch of 23 - 26 students to get acquainted with their peers at Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted.
