The Chiao Hsin Market is a unique feature that happens about once every three months on campus. Chiao Hsin money is the currency used to buy things in the market. These can be earned through several methods, such as having good behavior, winning a contest, doing well on tests, and more. This money is given as a reward but can also be taken away for bad behavior. The price for the items can vary based on the item marketed during the Chiao Hsin market. Little items like stickers, candy, or stamps are usually the cheapest items on the market. The grand prizes would be big items such as Nerf guns, plushies, Pokémon cards, Funko Pop action figures, and footballs. There are also raffles sometimes, which require a lot of luck. Karl 老師 is in charge of the market, and he buys all the prizes. Many of the prizes are donated by local businesses. We always appreciate the people or companies that are willing to donate stuff to Chiao Hsin.

僑心市場是一個獨特的特色,大約每三個月在校園裡出現一次。僑心錢是市場上用來買東西的貨幣。這些錢可以通過多種方式獲得,例如表現良好、贏得比賽、在測試中取得好成績等等。這些錢是作為獎勵提供的,但也可能因為行為不當而被拿走。商品的價格可能會根據在僑心市場出售的商品而有所不同。對於貼紙、糖果或郵票等小物品,這些應該是市場上最便宜的物品。大獎就當然是高價物品,比如 Nerf 槍、神奇寶貝卡、Funko Pop Action figures,足球等等。有時侯也有抽獎活動,看看自己運氣好不好。負責市場的老師是Karl 老師,所有的獎品都是他買的,所以我們大家都非常感謝他。許多獎品都是當地企業捐贈的,所以我們也很感謝有捐過禮物給僑心的人。
