School Anniversary

Our school anniversary lies in May with a variety of celebrations to commemorate the founding of the school. Each year, the students, faculty, and alumni come together for this special occasion, which features four prominent activities the celebration ceremony, school fair, singing contest, and alumni returning to the campus.

School fair

Our school anniversary would not be complete without the school fair. The entire campus transforms into a bustling fair. Both students and the faculty set up stalls to vend snacks as well as beverages and share important information. The students plan the services and food they would like to offer with their creativity, making it a truly collaborative and festive event. The popular snacks and drinks include fried instant noodles, sausages,  soda with dry ice, marshmallow toasts, and more. 

Singing Contest

The singing contest is a popular annual activity of our school. Participants first compete in a preliminary round, with the top performers earning a ticket to the finals during the school anniversary. The audiovisual center buzzes with excitement as the audience fills the seats. Winners not only receive a prize but also gain visibility with talent scouts. This contest has inspired generations of students and ignited their passion for music. 

Alumni Reunion Party

The school anniversary is also a special occasion for alumni to reunite. They are invited to take a campus tour and enjoy a celebratory feast afterward. It’s a wonderful opportunity for former students to reconnect and reminisce about their time at school. For more information about the party, click here.

Rite of Passage

The rite of passage holds profound significance within the Chinese community, representing a pivotal milestone for our youth.  Every year, we organize the rite of passage for the freshmen who embark on their journey toward independence and responsibility in high school. This meaningful event invites both students and their parents to participate in the celebration. 

The celebration typically includes three main sessions: the principal's speech, the oath reading, and the tea serving. First, the principal warmly welcomes the freshmen and encourages them to strive for excellence. Next, class representatives gather on stage to lead their peers in reading the oath together.  Finally, each student receives a cup of hot tea, takes a knee, and serves their parents tea. The tea serving has always been a way for the Chinese to manifest filial piety. 

Bundle of Hope: Wrapping Dumplings for University Dreams

As the GSAT, a pivotal milestone for high school seniors in Taiwan, draws near, our school proudly hosted the Bundle of Hope: Wrapping Dumplings for University Dreams ceremony in the Sports Complex Hall. This cherished tradition blends encouragement and symbolism, inspired by a Mandarin pun linking Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) with zhōng (to qualify or gain admission/中).

The event aimed to inspire and uplift students through motivational speeches and the distribution of cloth-woven Zongzis—lovingly handcrafted by parents. These symbolic gifts encapsulate the collective hopes and best wishes for the students’ success. Adding to the excitement, representatives from each class took the stage to enthusiastically declare their determination to succeed.

To further reinforce the event's message, students received a specially prepared lunch box containing a steamed bun, a Chinese pastry, and a Zongzi. This thoughtful meal carried another meaningful pun—包糕粽 (steamed bun, pastry, dumpling) sounds like 包高中 (admission to a dream school)—symbolizing good fortune and achievement.

This heartfelt ceremony not only bolsters students' resolve but also highlights the unwavering support of their school and families as they embark on their journey toward university aspirations.
