歡迎新進教師    國小部    高國中部    雙語部

大家好，很榮幸能夠在這裡自我介紹。我叫 鄭維欣，經過了一年的實習，今年幸運的來到新竹，在盛名遠播的科學園區實驗中學開始我第一年的正式教師生涯。雖然心中已經反覆的演練數次的心理準備，但是面對這許多的第一次，第一次來到新竹，第一次到雙語部，第一次當正式老師
，第一次的行政工作，就是高挑戰性的刺激外事組，這許許多多的第一次
，都讓我在這最初的兩個月經歷了前所未有的成長。雖然我是只是一位體育老師，但是我相信體育的真正價值不單只是具有體育活動的高能力，更代表了將體育上追求卓越的精神發揮在人生中各項事務之上。因此，我一直珍惜能夠充實其他方面能力的機會，也期許我的學生們也能夠如此。能夠在實驗中學開始我的教學生涯，能夠在雙語部體驗特殊的行政歷練，都令我在感受不小的壓力之餘，卻也真的深深的感到榮幸。幸運的來到這裡
，無論是跟學生、跟熱心指導我的教師主任、跟整個雙語部以及整個實驗中學一同成長，都是我人生當中一份最珍貴的經驗。 

我是 Bianca，生於鹿港。我的鄰居全是老師。鹿港國中離我家約三百公尺，步行約五分鐘。在離我家約五十公尺轉折處，放眼望去有一長排的老師宿舍，像城牆一般的保護我的家園。點頭說「老師好」這種場景從學校無限延伸到我的生活週遭。在我成長的環境裡，即是學校與老師的重重包圍。我想突圍，但卻是有一股莫名的力量把我往教育界裡吸。從彰化女中畢業後，背著祝福北上，我驚訝的站在國立台灣師範大學學校門前。但四年後，我卻是篤定的畢業─我要當老師。在這四年裡我消解中國文學及西方文學帶來的衝突，並欣賞撞擊出的火花。師範大學無時無刻不在教我如何為人師，不僅教學問，也教做人。台北四年，我想我得到的不僅是學分，而是這個大城市的多元性及可能性，給了我「尊重個別差異」與「追求可能」的觀點，一種較以往更為開闊的胸襟。畢業後回到母校鹿港國中實習，看到學弟妹們，好像看到以前的自己，有時站在校園中，還低下頭看自己是否還穿著制服。實習期滿，感謝實驗高中能給我這個機會，讓我進入雙語部服務，我希望能把一生當中最美好的時光獻給實驗高中。

Hi, My name is Dana Su (蘇惠君)  and I'm the new life science teacher in bilingual department. I received my bachelor's degree from National Taiwan Normal University and master degree from National Taiwan University. I completed teacher's internships in Taipei Municipal Long Shan Junior High School and I'm very glad to be teaching at NEHS. I enjoy exploring everything about nature and designing activities for students to learn with fun. I'm willing to teach students and learn from and with all of my students, parents, and colleagues here. 

Greetings to NEHS students, parents, and faculty. My name is Aubrie Nielsen, and I'm excited to have joined the staff here as the new third grade Humanities teacher. I am originally from Redondo Beach,California, and I stayed in Southern California to earn my degree in Communication Studies with a French minor from UCLA. I have taught second and third grades in the Los Angeles area for four years, and I am excited to be working with third graders again in Taiwan. In my free time I enjoy ballet, yoga, writing, and crafts. Thank you all for sucha warm welcome to both Hsinchu and the school community.

My name is Jeff Nielsen, and I am the new fourth grade Humanities teacher. The NEHS parents, teachers, and students have been incredibly welcoming already, and I am looking forward to an excellent school year. I am a native of California. I received my degree in Psychology at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and then took a position at a Montessori School in the area. Realizing that I love teaching, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a credential, and then spent four years teaching in Los Angeles. My hobbies include basketball, surfing, cooking, and traveling, and I look forward to continuing these as well as developing new interests here in Taiwan.

Ms. Brandi Christie　Ni hao! I am very excited to be here in Hsinchu. So far, the students, the parents, the administration, and my fellow staff have been so welcoming and supportive and, for that, I am very appreciative. The students here, thus far, have proven to be smart, creative, and hard working, and I know we will accomplish much together. Prior to moving here, I was working in a junior high school, teaching Language Arts and Reading, in East Harlem (Manhattan). Before that, I taught in the Amana Colonies and on a Meswaki settlement in Iowa. Five years ago, I began teaching English and Geography, in a middle school and high school, in Lesotho, Southern Africa. This year, at NEHS, I am the seventh grade Humanities teacher and the Drama teacher. I am
excited to learn, travel, and work in Taiwan, as well as meet new people and eat lots of tasty food. 

Mr. Ron Azoulay　 Shalom! I am the new first grade teacher and it is an extreme pleasure to be here as part of the NEHS bilingual department. I am from Israel, and have been a traveling man for the past 6 years. I have lived in Iowa, New York City, and now, Taiwan. My students have been teaching me many new things, and I can already tell that this is going to be a memorable experience. 

Hello from the Lamirands. We are a Canadian family from Vancouver. My name is Rod and I am teaching Humanities 6. Stacey, my beautiful wife, teaches Humanities 2. Our kind-hearted and wonderful daughter, Kirstie, is in grade 9 and our little man, Spencer, grade 3. On them falls the greatest weight of our hopes to learn to speak Chinese; on us the pleasant responsibility of focusing our family's energies toward exploring the wonders of Taiwanese culture and the geography of this most beautiful island. Our international experience also includes teaching in Muscat, Oman in 2001/2002. Please stop us and say hello if you see us.

Mr. Charles Hart 　Since Illinois is paying my family an annual salary to make sure I never teach in that American state again, I am very grateful NEHS and Taiwan is willing to give me another chance at teaching. Having taught in Singapore while it was experiencing an economic revolution and South Africa while it was experiencing a political revolution, I feel especially blessed to be a Social Studies teacher in Taiwan while this island nation is in the midst of its economic revolution and perhaps on the eve of its political revolution. 

Ni Hao! My name is Joyce Orobello and I am a new English teacher at NEHS. Although a native New Yorker, my studies in literature and writing have taken me to the Sand Hills of North Carolina, the peaks of the Italian Alps, and back home again to complete my MA in English Education at Columbia University. I then taught in New York and China, and the brief time I have spent at NEHS seems like a bridge between those two very different worlds. Although my students already know I'm nuts about literature and writing, I also love to put on my play clothes and get them as dirty as possible, be it on the hiking, running, or biking trails. My other interests include traveling, lazing about in my hammock with a book, and, most recently, getting lost while weaving in and out of Hsin Chu traffic (with hopes of discovering the city's hidden nooks and crannies). My students also know that I consider learning to be an academic adventure, and I am looking forward to the many adventures we will be embarking on together.
