Welcome parties from all departments have successfully warmed new  freshmen' hearts

Since the first day of school started, the elementary department, junior and senior departments, and bilingual department have hosted their own welcome activities in order to greet new students joining NEHS school life. The big brothers and sisters' hands tightly held the first graders' hands together in order to give them courage and to guide them into their first year of learning in our elementary department.  The student council of the senior high school department created and organized many sets of energetic group dances. With teamwork and the passion, the student council successfully broke the ice and helped freshmen to feel at home. Lastly, on October 17, at the track, the Interact and Key club joined the bilingual department's student council and organized six obstacle racing contests called the “Amazing Race”. These creative and challenging games ended with tumbling, sweat, tears and much more laughter before dark.  

Autumn breeze will bring the Field Day soon, so let's strive to shine at in all sporting events

The 2008 school Field Day will be held on November 8.  Beginning with the preliminary track events on October 29, all athletes are ready to break the school records.  There will be a field final and second preliminary track events on November 5.  The elementary department and Gr. 1-6 students of the bilingual department will have the track and field contests together on November 6 and 7.  No surprise again, the highlight of the field day we predict, will be the class relay and the fun games joined by all faculty and staff of NEHS.  We sincerely welcome parents to join us and to bring your encouragement to our students.  

Hopefully the calm and peaceful atmosphere, promoted by the presence of such reading will spread through our campus and promote our Republic.

In order to promote reading skills, the elementary department has designed a series of activities to encourage reading entitled the “Reading Republic.”  All Gr.3-6 students are encouraged to form either reading groups or to read independently.  The reading groups can make up as many as five members.  The members in each group can be classmates, friends, siblings or even parents.  The “Reading Republic” encourages every one to choose more than one one-hundred-page book and to finish reading one hundred books.  The books can be well-known works of literature, novels, biographies, essays, travel logs and non-fiction, and science fiction.

After finishing a book, a student has to write a summary and comment on the “reading procedure record” with a teacher or parent signature.  All participants may also fill out a “recommendation book” on-line.  Finally, students are to submit both of his/her two forms to the section of research and experiment, office four, in order to get a “certificate of the good book-citizenship of the Reading Republic” and a new book from Principal Wu as a prize. We anticipate everyone’s support so that hopefully the calm and pleasant atmosphere of book appreciation can be felt in every corner of our campus. 

The fourth HSIN-MUN Conference held on October 25 and 26 on our campus

As part of the Ministry of Education sponsored “High School-based Regional Education” project, the fourth Hsinchu Model United Nations Conference took place at our school on October 25 and 26.  Each year it has expanded, and each year, more teachers and students have participated. This year, more than two-hundred-fifty students and teachers from eight high schools in Hsinchu and Tainan participated; this is the largest HSIN-MUN Conference we have ever hosted.  The Conference ran two United Nations forums:  The Economic and Social Council, or ECOSOC and the Security Council.  There will also be a student press team who will compile a newspaper which will report on the events of the conference. We are grateful to all the administrators and teachers who have made this conference possible.  We wish them the best and great success this year.

The Bilingual Department Hosts the fourth UNICEF Fundraiser

For the fourth year in a row, the Bilingual Department of NEHS will host the UNICEF Halloween Fundraiser headed by Ms. Levine. This year, the Key Club participated by presenting an introductory slideshow of UNICEF on October 15^th to promote the fundraiser. The goal was to raise awareness and to encourage students to reach out to kids deprived of food, water, shelter, and the right to life. The Halloween Fundraiser will take place at the Gym on October 29^th, and we hope to see you there!

SBL Superstars Visit NEHS
 Have you ever experienced the thrill of a basketball game? Have you ever seen SBL players play live? Hopefully you didn't miss out on the October 15th basketball demonstrations and performances in NEHS's own gym by three
 SBL superstars MR. Yu-wei Hu, Mr. Che-lung Lin, and Mr. Shi-hang Cheng. The three SBL superstars taught our students shooting, laying-up, and dribbling basics. They also interacted with NEHS students through 3-on-3 half court games and 3-point shootouts, which received applause after applause. With an exchange of gifts
 and photos, this event ended as a big success. Thanks a lot to the three SBL players and administrators of the office of the student affairs for making this event possible.
