Beidou Junior High School Wins Excellence Award at the First National Outstanding Contribution Award for Food and Agricultural Education
[Changhua County News] Beidou Junior High School has proudly won the Excellence Award in the group category at the First National Outstanding Contribution Award for Food and Agricultural Education. The award was personally presented by Premier Chuo Jung-tai at the ceremony held on January 14. This recognition celebrates the school’s remarkable achievements in promoting food and agricultural education and highlights its role in advancing educational innovation in Changhua County.
Fostering Gratitude and Core Values in Education
Guided by the educational vision of "gratitude, technology, reading, and sports," Beidou Junior High School teaches students to approach life with gratitude—appreciating classmates, teachers, parents, and the land itself. Through this foundation, the school instills essential life values and the importance of respecting others and the environment.
Since 2014, the school has remained committed to its guiding principle: “When one life learns to care for another, love begins.” With this in mind, Beidou has continually advanced food and agricultural education by promoting the concept of “eating locally and enjoying seasonal produce.” These efforts have not only enriched students’ understanding of agriculture but also strengthened their connection to their roots.
Learning by Doing: Excellence Through Practical Education
Beidou Junior High School consistently upholds the principle of integrating education with daily life. The school incorporates hands-on learning experiences, such as farming, maintaining a chicken coop, managing a smart greenhouse, and composting leaves, into its curriculum. These practical activities not only teach students agricultural skills but also instill an understanding of the land, an appreciation for food, and a commitment to sustainability.
One of the most iconic programs is the Cilantro Project. Students experience the full agricultural cycle by planting cilantro, managing the fields, and harvesting. The school also organizes a "Cilantro Feast," where students design menus, introduce dishes bilingually, and invite community members to participate, extending the influence of education beyond the campus. Additionally, students have participated in the Changhua County Science Fair, earning second place with their project, "The Mystery of Soybean Growth," showcasing the integration of food and agricultural education with scientific learning.
Innovating Through Technology and Sustainable Practices
In recent years, Beidou Junior High School has integrated technology into its agricultural education, aspiring to develop precision and smart farming practices. This forward-thinking approach seeks to elevate agriculture to new levels, transform the industry’s future, and promote sustainable development.
Changhua County Education Department Commends Beidou’s Leadership
The Changhua County Education Department extended its congratulations to Beidou Junior High School, praising its dedication to cultivating students’ environmental awareness, practical skills, and appreciation for life. By incorporating the guiding principle, “When one life learns to care for another, love begins,” into its educational practices, the school has created a model of excellence that serves as an inspiration for other schools across the county and the nation.

從做中學:實作教育的卓越典範
北斗國中始終秉持教育與生活結合的理念,將農田、雞舍、智慧溫室與落葉堆肥區等實作場域融入課程,讓學生「做中學」,從體驗中汲取知識與價值觀。這些實作課程不僅培養了學生的農業技能,更幫助他們理解土地、珍惜食物,並實踐永續理念。
其中,最具代表性的計畫是「香菜計畫」。學生親手種植香菜,從播種、田間管理到採收,完整體驗農業生產流程。此外,學校還舉辦「香菜宴」,學生設計菜單、雙語介紹料理,並邀請社區居民參與,成功將校園教育影響力延伸至社區。學生們還參加彰化縣科展,憑藉「黃豆生長的奧秘」榮獲第二名,展現了食農教育與科學教育結合的創新成果。
科技與永續:教育創新的新典範

Teacher Aileen 北中外師
Hello! My name is Aileen Sim, and I hail from the beautiful archipelago of the Philippines. I am 27 years old. I was a professor back in the Philippines where I had the pleasure of teaching a diverse array of subjects such as science, English, research, and politics to secondary and tertiary students.
For the past few years, I've also embraced the role of an ESL teacher, guiding kids and teens of various ages and levels to hone their English language skills. My journey brought me to Taiwan, where I've spent the last year and a half as a foreign English teacher at an elementary school in Yilan City.
Teaching in Taiwan has been a remarkable adventure, allowing me to immerse myself in new cultural experiences. I really find immense joy in helping young learners gain confidence in speaking English.
When I'm not in the classroom, you'll likely find me singing, exploring new travel destinations, or getting lost in the wonders of sci-fi movies. I'm thrilled to share my knowledge, enthusiasm, and expertise with you, and I look forward to an exciting journey of learning English together!
大家好!我的名字是艾琳·辛,來自美麗的菲律賓群島。今年我27歲。在菲律賓時,我曾是教授,教導高中和大學學生多門學科,包括科學、英語、研究與政治等。
在過去的幾年裡,我也擔任了ESL(英語為第二語言)老師的角色,幫助各年齡層的孩子和青少年提升他們的英語技能。我的旅程將我帶到了台灣,在過去一年半的時間裡,我在宜蘭市的一所小學擔任外籍英語教師。
在台灣教書是一段令人難忘的冒險,讓我有機會深入體驗新的文化。我非常喜歡幫助年輕的學習者增強他們的英語口語自信心。
當我不在教室裡時,你很可能會發現我在唱歌、探索新的旅行目的地,或是沉浸在科幻電影的奇妙世界中。我非常高興能與大家分享我的知識、熱情和專業,期待與大家一起展開令人興奮的英語學習之旅!
