校園全力防疫　守護師生健康

新型冠狀病毒疫情肆虐，台灣高中以下學校延後開學。雖然開學日因此延遲兩周，但在疫情剛起時，校內就已早早就開始為防疫做準備！自1月30日，校內各級主管召開第一次校內防疫會議，修正寒假中的學校開放及營隊規定，為校內安全把關。在總務處和家長會的緊急佈署下，採購足夠的耳溫槍、額溫槍、酒精、漂白水及消毒相關工具，為校內增添防疫工作生力軍。在第三次會議時，研擬了各項校內防疫措施，對於學生、家長入校所需檢測流程、個人健康管理、校園消毒模式等，有更明確的規定。因三月底前各項大型集合活動皆已取消，故資訊室及各部資訊組也協助將重要集會以直播方式進行。由於各部的開學典禮取消，李校長在開學前拍攝了開學宣導影片，向各部學生傳達開學的歡迎之情以及需要配合的各項防疫措施。另外，校內安排防疫專用樓梯，並在健康中心外的走廊架設了兩座帳篷為防疫的分流作業所用，就是為了讓全校師生的健康更有保障。感謝家長會在疫情期間，對校內各項物資的提供！防疫期間雖有不便之處，但請全校師生共體時艱，讓我們共同挺過此次疫情！

國際交流版圖擴張　探訪法國史特拉斯堡

透過駐法國台北代表處教育組，法國史特拉斯堡國際高中（Lycee international des Pontonniers)成功與本校搭上線，討論雙方進行國際交流互訪的活動。史特拉斯堡位於德法交界，為歐洲議會所在地。兩校經過多次來回討論後，簽訂「學校交流合作協議書」，為國際交流活動開啟全新的頁面。今(109)年寒假，由中學部何美璇老師及雙語部李慧中老師帶領兩部九至十一年級共15位學生，前往法國史特拉斯堡進行交流活動。課程方面，法方安排了相當精彩的法語體驗、戶外法語教學等課程；也帶著本校學生參訪中世紀古城區、酒莊、歐洲議會、美術館等相當具有當地特色的景點；最後，更安排學做法國菜的活動、惜別晚會，為此次參訪畫下完美的句點。該校師生預計於今年十月來台訪問，屆時，換本校師生帶領嘉賓領略台灣之美！（出訪心得請見第11頁）

高二數資班出訪船橋　深化兩校交流情誼

本校與日本千葉縣船橋高校已有多年的交流情誼，歷年來船橋高校蒞臨本校進行教育旅行訪問時，皆由本校高二數資班代表接待，進行諸如入班上課、進行共同實驗、文化交流等活動。千葉縣船橋高校是日本首屈一指的高中，去(108)年是本校首次透過日本教育旅行活動回訪船橋高校，實際造訪該校，並與該校洽談隔年由數資班回訪事宜。108年12月底，船橋高校師生再度來訪，由高二數資班接待，而今(109)年一月，該班也如期回訪。同一批師生一個月後再次見面，透過日方安排的茶道、花道等文化體驗活動、入班進行科學實驗等，對日本教育有更深切的體會。期待本校與船橋高校的國際交流活動，能夠一直持續深化，為雙方學生開啟遼闊的國際視野。

關懷動物生命教育計畫

本校輔導室參與國教署「關懷動物生命教育補助計畫」，透過流浪動物的認養，將動物保護融入學校生命教育課程，培養學生教養動物應有的責任及與動物相處之道，發揚愛護動物，尊重生命之精神。中學部黃麗紋老師和雙語部吳宥蓉老師認養了Uni和Toro兩隻個性溫和的犬隻。輔導室希望讓Uni和Toro受訓成為療癒犬，預計透過教育訓練課程讓主要照顧者、志工及學生學習如何關懷動物，進而教導Uni和Toro成為能夠陪伴學生的療癒犬，增進輔導成效。輔導室並與校內懷生社(Humane Society)學生社團合作，規劃動物關懷社團課程、宣導增進領養代替購買之意識，並辦理服務性質活動帶領同學認識正確與校犬相處的知識。Uni和Toro在上學期末在輔導室的「療癒心活動－萌犬當班」活動安排下，定時至輔導室值勤，進行對有需要的學生的情緒陪伴；這學期則會在疫情緩和後再行安排。下次在校園裡見到這兩隻療癒夥伴，別忘了大方與他們互動喔！

國小部502　English Afternoon 你今天講英文了嗎？

108年12月27日是國小部五年二班的English Afternoon，從下午一點半到四點間，除了專有名詞外無論在哪裡都是「No Chinese」。每個人身上貼有三張黃色標籤貼紙代表三條命，一旦說了中文就必須撕掉一張黃色貼紙，當四點鐘聲響起時，還有貼紙的人就通過這一次的挑戰。原本以為這天下午大家會變得很沉默、上課愛發言的人就會變得不敢舉手、下課擠在導師面前找老師聊天的人會全部消失，但在上課時，由於專有名詞可以說中文，即便課堂上採隨堂問答方式，對老師及小朋友的難度也不會很高，反而有許多小朋友躍躍欲試，試著用英文回答問題。看來對五年級的小朋友來說，English Afternoon雖然是著挑戰，但也是個有趣的遊戲。Guess what？最後總共有23人的衣服至少還保有一張黃色標籤貼紙！真的很不簡單，在這No Chinese的150分鐘，度過了有趣又瘋狂的下午。

Schoolwide Precautions to Maintain Health

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic worsens, Taiwanese schools have collectively decided to postpone schooling. Although school was delayed by two weeks, we as a school have taken precautions for coronavirus prevention! Supervisors held the first meeting regarding school opening and winter camps on January 30th, and forehead thermometers, ear thermometers, alcohol, bleach, and disinfecting supplies have been purchased. Regulations on preventative measures were better defined during the third meeting. Most meetings will be conducted online due to the MOE cancelling large gatherings. The opening ceremony was also cancelled, and Principal Roger Lee responded by filming a video welcoming the students and delineating prevention measures. The school has designated sites for epidemic prevention and created two quarantine centers. We would like to express our thanks to the PTA for providing resources to the school in this difficult time. Please remember to follow hygiene practices so we can overcome this epidemic together!

International Exchange Area Expansion Visiting Strasbourg, France

Through the France and Taipei Representative Education Office, Lycée international des Pontonniers, a French high school, invited IBSH and NEHS students to participate in a student exchange program. Strasbourg, where their school is located, is a city on the border of Germany and France near the European Parliament. After much discussion between Lycée international des Pontonniers and NEHS, the two schools signed a contract, bringing the international exchange program to a new level. During this winter vacation, NEHS and IBSH brought select freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to participate in the exchange program. Our students had the opportunity to attend the French language outdoor classes, visit Strasbourg attractions, and enjoy French cuisines. Students and teachers from Lycée international des Pontonniers are scheduled to visit Taiwan in October. (Please see p.11)

Junior Math and Science Gifted program Visits Funabashi, Furthering Relations Between the Two Schools

Our school has had a partnership with Funabashi High School in Japan for many years, with frequent educational visits from them to our school. They𠆫e always received by representatives from the juniors in the Math and Science Gifted program, accompanying the visitors as they join in classes, perform experiments together, and participate in cultural exchange. The Funabashi High School in Chiba Prefecture is a top high school in Japan, and last year (2019) was the first time our school visited them. Towards the end of December that same year, the teachers and students of Funabashi High School visited us, and in January of this year (2020), our students returned the visit as scheduled. The same group of teachers and students met again a month later, gaining insight on Japanese education through cultural exchange activities such as a tea ceremony and flower arrangement class, and scientific experiments in class. We hope the international exchange program between the two schools will continue to broaden the global perspective of students.

Animal Rights Education Program

The school𠏋 guidance office participated in the Ministry of Education𠏋 "Education on Caring for Animal Life Program," raising awareness through the adoption of stray animals and integrating animal protection into the school curriculum. Through this, students will learn to be responsible when interacting with animals and respect them. Ms. Huang from the middle school department and Ms. Wu from the bilingual department adopted Uni and Toro, two kind and personable dogs. The guidance office hopes to train Uni and Toro as therapy dogs, teaching students, volunteers, and their caregivers how to care for animals and letting the dogs accompany students during therapy sessions. The guidance office also cooperated with the Humane Society, planning courses on animal rights and raising awareness about 弌dopt don㦙 shop.? The club also hosted daily events throughout a week to teach students how to properly interact with the school𠏋 service dogs and dogs in general. At the end of the last semester, Uni and Toro participated in the "Therapy Session - Dogs on Duty" activity, regularly providing emotional companionship to students in need. The activity will resume this semester after COVID-19 has died down. The next time you see Toro and Uni on campus, don't forget to say hi to them!

Elementary Dept. 502 English Afternoon Did you speak English today?

Class 502 of the elementary department held a 𡌃nglish Afternoon on December 27th, 2019. The event lasted from 1:30 to 4pm, and students were forbidden from speaking in Chinese (excluding proper nouns). Each student had 3 yellow stickers pinned on their shirts, representing their three lives, and every time a Chinese word slipped from their mouth, a sticker was peeled off. Students with at least one life by the end of the day would pass the challenge. Most participants had expected that classes would become silent, with students afraid to raise their hands and voice their opinions in English. Yet surprisingly enough, many were eager to try and answer the teacher𠏋 questions and raised their hands plenty in class. It didn㦙 seem like a challenge, rather an interesting game. And guess what? In the end, a total of 23 students were left with at least 1 sticker! It wasn㦙 an easy 150 minutes, but they made it through, managing to have fun in the process.
