Dear Parents, Grandparents & Friends of our School

The new semester kicked off with a BANG! And, we were ready to face all the new challenges. The BEST NEWS this semester was, when we heard that wearing MASKS were no longer compulsory!  Another highlight was when our foreign teachers were given the opportunity to attend a 12 Week Mandarin Course at Yuan Ze University.

On 29 April we had our PARENTS DAY. Our “Fun Day” was a huge success and everyone had a great time. The weather was PERFECT. It was a beautiful SUNNY DAY!!  The foreign and local teachers organized “The Golden Picture” game. Some classes were also responsible for presenting games, while other classes decided to sell products. The Parents Association also hosted a second-hand uniform recycling event. This is really a meaningful concept of environ-mental protection.

Teacher Strawberry/Blueberry started a Food & Travel Channel on YouTube (thatfoodiejeanette) last year.  She wants to promote TAIWAN to the rest of the world. She believes Taiwan is a perfect destination for tourists because it is so SAFE, and the TRANSPORTATION is great!

She would like parents to encourage the students to watch the videos because that will help to improve their English ability. She has also posted 5 videos of her country, South Africa, and 6 videos of the Philippines.  By watching these videos students will learn more about other countries, their food, and culture. Especially, the video:  TARTS – EASIEST RECIPES – Let your child try to make them!!

In order to increase the reading ability of children, foreign teachers were asked to select a picture book or story book and introduced or read it. These reading activities were recorded, and the videos are available on the website for everyone to view. If you are interested, you can search   xxxxx  on YouTube.

After June, Grade 6 students will enter a new phase of their life when they go to Junior High School. We would like to wish them the very best for a bright future!

We hope that everyone will have a wonderful summer vacation and enjoy a well-deserved break.
