The Jakarta Taipei School in Indonesia held its 35th-anniversary celebration on the 23rd, bringing together faculty, students, and distinguished guests from various sectors. The ceremony reviewed the development of the school, which follows the Taiwanese curriculum and provides trilingual education, and officially announced the launch of preparations for an alumni association, aiming to unite graduates at home and abroad to carry forward the school's spirit.
As one of the four Taiwanese schools in Southeast Asia supported by the Ministry of Education, the school held its 35th-anniversary ceremony yesterday. Principal Chang Chin-fu stated that the event invited current Representative to Indonesia Hung Chen-jung, as well as former representatives Cheng Wen-tsan, Andrew Hsia, Chang Liang-jen, and Chen Chung, along with Board Chairman Sung Pei-min, founder Li Mou-cheng, and former principals including Chou Hsien-ming.
Former Representative to Indonesia Cheng Wen-tsan, who participated in the school's establishment, noted in his speech that 35 years ago, enthusiastic Taiwanese businesspeople worked together to donate steel, timber, glass, and computers, building the school from scratch despite a lack of resources. He pointed out that the school received support from the Indonesian government and relevant Taiwanese ministries at the time, and after 35 years, it has cultivated professional talent in various fields.
Chou Hsien-ming, the first principal of the Jakarta Taipei School, explained that the school holds a unique position among nearly 400 international schools in Indonesia, being one of the few supported by both the Indonesian and Taiwanese governments. He expressed hope for the school's future development and called for continued support from all sectors.
Chang Chao-hsiung, a 2004 graduate and convener of the alumni association, told the Central News Agency that because most graduates develop their careers overseas, the rate of those remaining in Indonesia and returning to school is low. Past social gatherings were not sustainable, so he hopes to use the 35th anniversary as a special opportunity to officially call upon alumni worldwide.
Chang explained that the goal of the alumni association is to create a platform for emotional exchange and to integrate the "trilingual resources" (Chinese, English, and Indonesian) of the alumni to give back to their alma mater. Preparations will take place over the next year, connecting with recent graduates and those currently in graduate or medical schools, with the official establishment of the first alumni association expected at next year's 36th-anniversary celebration.
