Food and Agriculture Education - "I Eat, Therefore I Grow"
This course allows students to actively participate in the full process of agricultural production, from growing crops to cooking, aiming to cultivate students into environmentally friendly consumers. Throughout the course, students will learn about basic agricultural and horticultural practices, including field management and maintenance. Through hands-on experiences, such as planting and food preparation, students will not only gain practical skills but also develop an appreciation for the value of life and the hard work of farmers, fostering a sense of gratitude and respect for food.

Discussion on International Issues
Focusing on the SDGs' goals of reducing inequalities within and among countries, as well as promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions, what can we, as students, do? Even today, there are still victims suffering due to imbalances of power. Can we, as individuals, contribute to helping these strangers? How can an ordinary person make an impact on the government? In this activity, we incorporate a "Write for Rights" letter-writing marathon. Each group of students selects a key case to support and promote, with the hope that other students in the school will also come to understand the injustice and suffering these individuals face, and take up a postcard to speak out on their behalf.

Astronomical Observation
The school's unique geographical location, being remote with minimal light pollution, makes it an ideal place to promote stargazing courses. As a result, the school actively advances astronomy education, with astronomical observation being the most fundamental aspect. This course starts with observing the night sky, giving students the opportunity to experience using telescopes and even create simple telescopes themselves. From theory to practice, the course gradually deepens students' understanding, fostering a love for astronomy and encouraging them to engage more with nature.
