TES Annual Report

Primary Field Trips Whilst there were memorable trips across all sections, this year, from 19-24 May, ten students from CM2 and 6e embarked on an unforgettable adventure that blended science, ecology, and intercultural friendship. Onboard the sailing boat 'Good Hope,' they travelled from Tamsui to Kaohsiung, stopping in Taoyuan, Taichung, Penghu, and Tainan. With the support of the Taiwanese Coast Guards as well as various Taiwanese institutions and the French Office in Taipei, this project gave French and Taiwanese students the chance to share an intense and meaningful experience: sea water analysis, micro-waste sampling, experiments on wind energy, visits to local schools, creating collective artworks from marine plastic, learning traditional net fishing in Penghu, and even participating in the Kaohsiung French Festival. The students were honoured with a special welcome by Taiwan’s Prime Minister in Kaohsiung. Beyond environmental learning, this voyage strengthened cooperation, curiosity, and student engagement toward building a more united and sustainable world. Secondary CCAs The British Secondary and High School continues to offer a comprehensive selection of CCAs in a wide range of activities for students of all sections. These include sports, music, drama and a whole host of curriculum related activities. TES hosted an Model United Nations (MUN) conference as well as attending numerous events on the island. TES teams demonstrated exceptional performance at the TISSA and FOBISIA football tournaments, securing first place in both Varsity and Junior Varsity (JV) divisions for boys and girls.

This breadth of participation reflects the inclusive and dynamic nature of the school’s athletics programme and the strong support from staff, coaches, and the wider school community. Music at Secondary campus In a busy year, during the first term the Christmas Bazaar performances were followed closely by another wonderful 'ESC Winter Concert,' which included the Community choir ‘Sun voices’ made up of teachers and parents. The school also sent students to Kuala Lumpur to compete in the Battle of the Bands. The second semester was much of the same, filled with amazing performances - firstly the Spring recital saw 17 individual recital performances by our talented musicians, then a month later all the music groups and choirs performed at the ‘Spring Concert,’ as well as two rock bands performing at the Parent Gala. FInally there was ‘The Voice’ competition, which is always popular with the students. Key Achievements ・ TISSA & FOBISIA Football Champions
