Graduation time is here. Some schools in Taiwan decided to have a different kind of graduation ceremony for a change. That means a break from the usual indoor event with students walking on stage and being handed their diplomas.
A school in Hualien had an unforgettable graduation ceremony. The Experimental Primary School of National Dong Hwa University had their students get on their knees and get dirty as they scrambled through a military style obstacle course amidst sprays of water and mud. But that was not all. They also had to run up and down the stairs five times to get enough stamps to move on to the next stage. There were also races and obstacles they had to overcome by working together as a team. The students thought the course was tough but fun as well.
Another school, the Yilan Perng-Lai Elementary School also had a unique graduation ceremony. The school is only two kilometers from the sea, and that’s where they held their graduation - on the sea in a boat. The school hopes that the graduating class can appreciate the ocean, marine life and all that Taiwan has to offer.
