IBSH Annual Event: Science Fair & Reading Fair

The IBSH Science Fair was held on May 18th, featuring 11th grade physics, 10th grade chemistry, 9th grade biology, 8th grade robotics, and 7th grade life science. Students’ projects first underwent the preliminaries before each class sent forth its top 3 teams to the fair, at which IBSH’s science teachers served as judges to determine the final 3 winners from each grade. All participating students fluently explained their experiments’ procedures and shared their results with the judges and other students. We are happy to say that in accordance with one of IBSH’s ESLRs, cultivation of an “Innovative and Inquiring” spirit, the science fair successfully instilled creativity and perseverance in students. The 2nd Annual IBSH Elementary Reading Fair took place on Wednesday, May 11th, from 11:00am-12:00pm. Students from Grades 1-4 were asked to choose a fiction book to present on, including information such as the title, author, genre, author's purpose, problem/solution, summary, etc. They each prepared a presentation and had the opportunity to vote on their favorite presenter from each grade. Parents, other teachers, and administrators were also invited to this event, and thoroughly enjoyed the diverse selection of books and impressive artistic displays. It was quite a successful event, both fun and educational.

NEHS Wind Band Wins Bronze at International Band Festival

The 2016 biennial Singapore International Band Festival (SIBF) was held at National University of Singapore𠏋 Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music. Middle school department music teachers Yi-Cheng Bao and Jia Lin led the NEHS Wind Band to participate in the event on July 26th. The students in the NEHS Wind Band may differ by up to 5 or 6 years in age, yet they all go through the same rigorous training schedule. In fact, they not only practice on weekdays but also have extra practices in the week before the competition, in hopes of winning glory for NEHS. Although during summer only half of the members (about 35) were able to participate in the practices, the members took advantage of the extra practices to train their cooperation and playing skills, competing against major bands from different countries and eventually winning 3rd place. We must thank not only the members and the teachers for their hard work, but also the parents, who helped the team deal with passport (and other) problems, support the students while overseas, and document every detail during the whole trip. To the members, this competition was not only an extremely challenging experience but also training that inspired them to dream and reach even higher next year.

NEHS Certified as Google School

Already a technology-integrated school, IBSH has landed a new breakthrough this July by becoming a 䥲oogle Reference School? one of the four--and the first public--schools in Taiwan to be certified by Google! Receiving this honor is no small feat: IBSH has been working tirelessly to bring technology into its campus. Setting up WiFi within the school (covering more than 90% of the campus) and opening up the new campus area (including subject classrooms, laboratories, and future classrooms that enhance and diversify the learning experiences of the students) are only some examples of the technological improvements in our school. Google services, especially the sharing function, which enables multiple people to edit online simultaneously, have achieved high popularity and usage among students and teachers alike, also boosting the 𢖯aperless?trend in our school. In addition, the bilingual department has thoroughly integrated chromebooks into the learning experiences of its students, making mobile learning a reality. Special thanks to teacher Spock Tsai, who used his spare time to hone his information technology abilities, becoming one of the few Google lecturers fluent in both English and Chinese. He currently helps our school organize various studies related to information and technology. Boasting a strong network of information and internet resources, our school hopes that such an environment would enrich and enhance students?learning experiences.

34th Hsinchu City Science Fair for Elementary and Middle School
