School features

       Fengnian is located in a growing and diverse community on the outskirts of Taitung City. In this community, however, parents often have to work long hours to make ends meet. Some students only have one parent at home and others are raised by their grandparents. These create challenges for the Fengnian students because they often do not get help or encouragement on their homework from their parents afterschool.

Fengnian has always been committed to helping these students who are falling behind the curriculum. Fengnian offers after school tutoring as well as other clubs to allow students to develop their interests and keep up with their homework. The school tries to give as much learning support as possible to the students that need it.

In recent years, due to the lack of strong family support, teachers found that students were struggling with reading comprehension and also did not have many opportunities outside of school to develop their interests. In response, the school has decided to create a comprehensive integrated supplementary curriculum to complement the standard courses the students take. This new curriculum is called “Fengnian is Fun” and is meant to spark the student’s passion for learning with interesting cross-field integrated courses and projects. This will be a comprehensive plan spanning all of 1st through 6th grade levels.

In the “Fengnian is Fun” curriculum, students will take exploratory science courses, learn scientific fundamentals, integrate new technologies into their learning, and participate in large projects. These activities will help students not only find new passion for the sciences but also allow students to dive deep into topics that interest them. Older students will read popular classic literature as well to supplement their learning. These courses will give students new passions, perspectives, and will also increase their reading comprehension.

Fengnian offers many clubs for students to be exposed to artistic and cultural pursuits. These include a recorder team, a children's band, and a Taiko Drum team. The school believes that giving students opportunities to develop extra-curricular interest will shape the students into well-rounded individuals. These clubs also help to generate more enthusiasm for school which in turn improves the academic performance of the students.

The recorder team has a long history in our school. Primarily comprised of students from grades 4 to 6 they practice hard in music classes and even use holidays and any free time they can get to practice at school. Although the team is relatively small, they won first place in the Taitung County competition in 2010, 2011, and 2020, and represented Taitung County in the national music competition.

The Taiko Drum team is an after-school club for lower grade students. The Taiko Drum practices are invigorating and train the students’ physical strength as well as their concentration. These students also get the opportunity to perform at various events including sports days and community exchange events.

In addition to these clubs, the students at Fengnian are also outstanding artist, and have won many awards in the Taitung County Student Art Exhibition and the National Aboriginal Painting Competition. Students art is prominently displayed around the school and was used as illustrations for the picture book that Fengnian published called Asiraoy.

Fengnian aims to create an environment in which every child can be happy, healty, and friendly as this lends itself to the most productive learning. When faced with novel things or in unclear situations, students are taught to actively explore and learn in order to understand and adapt. Students are always taught to show respect for others. They are shown that through good behavior, practice, and prudent choice, they will be able to achieve a good life.
