MiMiQ, the beloved mascot of Hao Xiu Elementary School, is inspired by the local specialty of Puyan Township—glutinous rice. Designed in celebration of the school’s 120th anniversary, MiMiQ is a fun, endearing character that represents growth, strength, and the nurturing environment of the school.
MiMiQ’s design reflects the cultural heritage of Puyan, where glutinous rice is a well-known agricultural product. Just as glutinous rice is cultivated and nurtured to grow into a valuable staple food, MiMiQ symbolizes the nurturing and supportive atmosphere at Hao Xiu Elementary School, where students are encouraged to grow, learn, and develop into strong, well-rounded individuals.
The mascot serves as a reminder for students to strive for personal and academic growth, just like the glutinous rice that thrives in the local fields. MiMiQ is more than just a mascot—it is a symbol of the school’s mission to cultivate a love for learning, community spirit, and resilience, inspiring students to grow strong and flourish in all aspects of their lives at Hao Xiu Elementary.
MiMiQ has five unique design variations, each representing one of the five key abilities that students can develop through Hao Xiu’s comprehensive curriculum:
Execution Ability (執行力) – MiMiQ’s focused and determined expression symbolizes the importance of turning ideas into action. Students are encouraged to develop strong execution skills to accomplish their goals.
Imagination (想像力) – MiMiQ’s creative and playful form reflects the power of imagination. Students are taught to think outside the box and approach problems with innovative solutions.
Learning Ability (學習力) – MiMiQ’s thoughtful posture represents the ability to continuously learn and adapt. Students are encouraged to be lifelong learners who are open to new ideas and challenges.
Adaptability (應變力) – MiMiQ’s flexible design shows resilience and adaptability in the face of change. Students are guided to develop the ability to adjust to different situations with confidence.
Empathy (關懷力) – MiMiQ’s caring and compassionate expression symbolizes the importance of empathy and caring for others. Students are inspired to understand and support one another, fostering a community of care.
Through these five abilities, MiMiQ encourages Hao Xiu students to grow into well-rounded individuals who can succeed in a variety of situations, both academically and personally.
