We believe that every child has a "seed of art" inside them. We work hard to help these seeds grow into beautiful flowers.

Our school has many fun clubs, such as dancing, music, and drums. These clubs give students a stage to show their talents. Also, our students are very good at professional skills. They won gold medals in national painting competitions for two years! This makes our students feel very confident about their future. We want to thank all our teachers, parents, and volunteers.

From December 22 to 24, our Grade 9 students went on a wonderful three-day trip. With comfortable buses, nice hotels, and the help of our teachers and guides, everyone had a great time. This trip created many happy memories for our students.

On the second day, students learned about science through fun activities at the National Science and Technology Museum. We also spent a fun afternoon at E-DA Theme Park. In the evening, we took a ride on the Kaohsiung Light Rail to see the beautiful city lights.

On the last day, we went to the National Museum of Taiwan History and the Tainan Art Museum to learn about history and art. Finally, we visited the Judicial Museum to learn about the law. This trip helped students learn new things outside the classroom and made their friendships stronger. It was an unforgettable experience for everyone.
