· 參加羽毛球課外活動的同學們，請務必攜帶自己的球具喔！因為學校方面，僅有的球具數量有限，如果每位同學，都使用學校公用器具的話，那麼就會有不少的同學們，無法盡興地上課喔！
· Students who enrolled in the Badminton class should bring their own equipment. School only prepares limited quantity of equipment in case a few students forget to bring their own.
人文室Office of Humanities：
· 慈濟教聯會老師倪美英在她的著作《成為孩子的伯樂》中，〈親情不該有隔夜仇〉的章節裡，說明一個孩子要變壞不是一時的，要挽救一個孩子的心，為人父母必須有勇氣，為自己對孩子的傷害道歉。孩子做錯事要淡化，對優點要強化。「只有感動才會讓孩子變好。」要糾正孩子的錯誤，處罰絕不是最好的方法。倪美英老師也力行靜思語「教育是好好地給予與對待」，所以家庭聯絡簿上堅持「三好一改進」的原則，先給予三個肯定與讚美，再寫上一個須改進的地方。所以12月16日是2012年，最後一次上課，同時第三堂課是靜思語加強週，再次歡迎家長們，在教室裡面，與老師和孩子們一起學習、一起成長。
· Ni Meiying, a member of Tzu Chi Teacher Association, stated in her book "Become a mentor to your child" that there should be no schism between parent and their children. She also explained that a child could become disenchanted gradually if parent did not attend to their needs properly. To save a child from such predicament, parent must have the courage to admit and apologize for their faults. They should also focus on their children’s strengths while accept their shortcomings. Although parent needed to correct the mistakes of their children now and then, however punishment was never the best option. The best approach was to guide your children through love and devotion and share their feeling.
Ni also excised the Jing-Si aphorism teaching "Education means giving and interacting properly" in her classes. She adhered to the principle of “giving the student three affirmations/praises for every suggested improvement” in all her communications with parents.
Our Jing-Si aphorisms enhancement class in 2012 will be held on 12/16 the third period. Parents are always welcome to join our teachers and students so that we can all learn together, and grow together.
