Visitors and Taiwanese Opera

Wufu gets a lot of visitors from all over the world. In the last couple of months, we've had principals visit from Canada, the Philippines and Japan. We also had a group of foreign exchange students visit from Finland (they're attending a local high school) and a Turkish television station was here filming.

Wufu always rolls out the red carpet for these groups. Our students are very active in a number of activities and they are put in classes based on that. We have students that perform Taiwanese Opera and Taiwanese plays. These students are in a performing arts group. The students who are gifted athletically are in a class together. We have on of the top Diabolo teams in the country (that's version of Chinese yo-yo). The students who are in band have their own class. We also have a very competitive table tennis team.

Whenever there are visitors at our school, the get to see the skills of many of these students. I love watching them perform because these are my students as well. I'm always extremely proud of them whenever I see them on stage. They work very hard every day to cultivate their talents.

I have included some pictures below. I will continue to add more as I can get them. Many times I'm teaching a class when they perform so I can't record the performance. If the last few months are any indication, I'm sure we'll have more visitors and thus, I'll have more opportunities to show you my students' various talents.
