This election also reelected Mr. Edward Huang as the chairman of the PTA. Accompanying him as vice chairman include: Ms. Wen, Ms. Peng, Ms. Chen, Ms. Chan, and Mr. Tsai. Due to his great passion towards helping our school, Mr. Huang has received his deserved honor by being reelected. However, Mr. Huang was not the only member who got reelected- Ms. Chuang also, as predicted, got reelected as the Chief Treasurer. We thank Chairman Huang and all committee members for all their contributions and services toward our school from their previous term. We also hope that the NEHS PTA would continue their support towards the school for this new school year in order to extend the positive relationship between the association and the school.

Under the request of the Hsinchu Government Education Affair Division  request, NEHS hosted the first full-English  lobal Issues Network Forum? This event is especially remarkable since it is the first full-English conference for teenagers hosted by Hsinchu, so it will surely become a precursor for other conferences to come. The Hsinchu Government invited numerous Hsinchu Middle Schools, including Guang Wu Middle School, Guang Hwa Middle School, San Ming Middle School, Zhu Guang Middle School, as well as the GIN club and coral reef ambassadors of IBSH. These participants discussed their schools unique clubs and classes, their counties community, and also delved into fascinating and eye-catching discussions on global issues. Another special guest was the  KY organization, led by Mr. Bob Nameng. The organization was established to allow teenagers from South Africa to immerse themselves in the global community and to gain global perspectives. The students performed a heart-felt performance with their rhythmic drums and beautiful voices, using their dance to illustrate the hardships their ancestors was went through with much courage, the courage that is reflected in these children.

September is the month when students can show their appreciation towards their teachers. The elementary department invited all the teachers from elementary school to attend an event, which took place in the main gym during Thursday's weekly meeting. After Ms. Christine Huang, the PTA chairman, and Mr. Hsu from the Student Affairs Office gave their speeches, students presented their first gift for their beloved teachers by singing 師恩深亦深. We wish the teachers felt the students sincere appreciation as they accepted flowers from each of the class representatives.
