Halloween on the Running Track — the Whole School in One Frame 萬聖節，全校一張合照

For Halloween, every child and teacher dressed up and came out to the school running track for one whole-school photograph. In Yuhua, festivals aren't a class activity — they are a school activity, by default. Every grade joins, every face is in the frame.

萬聖節這天，全校師生變裝齊聚運動場，拍一張全校大合照。在育華，節慶不是某一班的活動，而是「全校一起」的活動：每個年級都加入，每張臉都在鏡頭裡。

The World on Our Wall 世界，畫在我們的牆上

Just outside our classrooms stands a hand-painted world map mural, with English words like "to read" and "true" woven into its colors. From a village of one hundred families on Taiwan's west coast, our children learn early that they belong to a world bigger than the tide line.

校園外牆有一幅手繪世界地圖壁畫，上面用英文寫著 to read、only true 等字眼。從這個百戶人家的小村出發，育華孩子很早就知道：自己所屬的世界，比海岸線更寬廣。

Under the Dinosaur — A Field Trip Beyond the Tide Line 恐龍骨架下的孩子 · 把世界裝進心裡

When you grow up by the sea, the rest of the world should never feel far. Our students traveled to the National Museum of Natural Science in Taichung, walked under the dinosaur skeletons, and came home with a wider sense of what is possible — and what they might one day want to study.

在海邊長大的孩子，更不應覺得世界遙遠。育華學生走訪台中國立自然科學博物館，從恐龍骨架下走過，把世界裝進心裡——也帶回一份「我以後也許會想研究這個」的可能。

Reading Our Coast Through Its Temples 從廟口讀我們的海岸

Coastal Taiwan's history is written in its temples. Each year, our students walk to neighbouring Mazu temples on the western shore, listen to elders speak about the pilgrimage, and learn that local culture is something you stand inside — not something you only read about.

沿海台灣的歷史，寫在一座座廟裡。每年我們會帶孩子走到鄉內的廟口，聽長輩說媽祖遶境的故事——讓他們知道，在地文化不是教科書上的一行字，而是自己正站在裡面的東西。

Every Child Gets the Stage 每個孩子，都有自己的舞台

In a school where every classroom holds a single grade, no one disappears in a crowd. Talent shows, festival performances, and end-of-term concerts include every student by design. Confidence is not a privilege here — it is built, child by child.

在這裡，每一個年級只有一個班，沒有人會被人海蓋過。才藝表演、節慶演出、學期末演奏會，每一場都是「每個孩子都上場」。在育華，自信不是少數人的特權，而是被一個一個孩子養出來的。
