School Wind:
The school promotes simplicity in its school ethos and supports student growth through a disciplinary policy based on the principle of "Strict but Caring". The school cooperates with the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) in nurturing students' growth. With the support of our alumni, we often return to our alma mater to hold seminars and share our experiences with our siblings. Graduating students often return to the school to serve as mentors.
The school has a Big Brothers Big Sisters program, which encourages siblings to take care of their younger siblings: free tutoring classes are also offered to students. In recent years, all junior high school students have been required to participate in uniformed groups, arts or sports activities, so that students can learn to be self-reliant and take care of themselves.
In recent years, the school has endeavored to promote a caring campus culture, cultivate students' positive outlook on life, and at the same time, let each student feel cared for and achieve the goal of respecting and loving each other. On the whole, the school has a simple school ethos, good teacher-student relationship, respect for academic freedom and encouragement of whole-person development of students.
