Xi Wang is the
largest primary school in Bai Wan. It is located in the centre of the
Baiwan district and serves over 1000 students, which is two-third of the
student population. The new government policy has put more children into the
already crowded school building. The average class size is about 60 but
there are no spare classrooms and teachers to split the classes. |
| Xi Wang School is also the most equipped school in Bai Wan. They have a well-established library where books are donated by some Hong Kong organisations. There is a small amount of English books. We hope that we can supply them with more English books in future. |  |

The school has a new technology building finished in October 2001 with the construction fee funded mainly by the Shi Wan town government of Fo Shan, Guangdong. During the January and April visit in 2002, we bought some PE and art equipment for the school, and furnished the Science lab, the Art room and the Music room in the new building. Students enjoy the new facilities and have found the lessons more interesting. With improved facilities, in 2004 the school is officially granted the status of grade one school in Qingxin County. In November 2009, we bought new uniforms and equipment for the school band (Young Pioneer Squad).

In June 2010, the Nansen House of Island School sets up a scholarship for students who do well at the end-of-term exams. The picture shows three representatives from the Nansen House who presented scholarship to the top twenty P6 students. |

In July 2010, we sponsored a summer camp for students in Xi Wang Primary School. The activities were run by a group of post-secondary students based in Guangzhou. They involved English, Mathematics and general knowledge of the legal system. The summer camp continued to run in July 2011. We hope this can be a regular activity for the Baiwan children. |
