Sanmin Junior High School in Hsinchu City Holds Plumbing and Electrical Repair Camp, Students Learn Practical Skills

Hsinchu City's Sanmin Junior High School is holding a plumbing and electrical repair camp to foster students' self-sufficiency and problem-solving skills in daily life. The school's principal, Ding Shu-guan, stated that the school initiated the plumbing and electrical repair camp in 2023 to cultivate students' basic plumbing and electrical repair abilities, enhancing their life management and problem-solving skills.

Due to strong enrollment, the program's scale has expanded from one class in its first year to four classes during the winter break, allowing students to learn plumbing and electrical-related skills. This summer, the program is being expanded further, and parents, retired teachers, and community members are invited to participate, with the hope of rooting life skills within the community.

Chen Yao-chuan, president of the Sanmin Junior High Parent Association, told the media that the course combines faculty from Dongtai High School and other institutions. The curriculum covers practical operations such as replacing faucet washers and basic circuit testing, enabling participants to acquire relevant skills.

Chen Sheng-biao, chairman of Zheyi Electrical Machinery, who sponsors the instructor fees, stated that as long as the community has needs and students and parents have the willingness to learn, the school can continue to promote such courses. He will bear part of the expenses and provide long-term support to ensure the continuation of this activity, which holds both educational and practical value.

The 'Intergenerational Skills Transmission Plumbing and Electrical' community workshop is now open for registration until May 20th. The content includes basic home plumbing and electrical knowledge, toilet repair, and electrical safety testing. (Editor: Li Shu-hua) 1150417
