The school is celebrating its 50th anniversary of independence in 2025. A small, close-knit campus in Nangang Village, it has built a distinctive identity around taiko drumming, the arts, and a dedicated food-and-agriculture curriculum, with students also competing nationally in Cool English, martial arts, and Go.
