This is the only secondary school in Baiwan with over
700 students in 10 classes from Y7 to Y9. The existing school building
was established in 1996 with the support of overseas donation. Since
the reduction of school fees in 2001, the student population has
increased from 450 in 2000 to 660 in 2004. There is a pressing need to
find extra classrooms and dorm rooms to provide accommodation for the
increased populace. A new dormitory is built in November 2005 but the
school still needs a lot of money to settle the cost of construction.We
have donated some bunk beds to the dormitory in the last two years.
Since June 2008,we sponsor a gradurate of the school to continue high
school education in Qingyuan.
In December 2007 during the holidays of Australian
universities, two youngsters spent a few days teaching English in
Baiwan secondary school. They soon realized the English textbook was
too hard for the students there. They started to write a bridging book
during their free time after lessons. The book was then printed in
January 2008. The principal and the English teachers believe the book
will help to improve the achievement of students in public exams.
