School Features

HSNU is notable among high schools in the area for encouraging excellence in extracurricular areas.

Graduation ceremony

The annual graduation ceremony is an event organized and decorated solely by students that have successfully been admitted into university. The team of students adorn the settings of ceremony to a certain theme, arrange the entertainment programs and shoot their own music videos. This event is reported by the mass media every year which contributes to the school's reputation for promoting talents and creativity amongst its student body.

Uniform

Under Japanese rule, boys' high school uniforms in Taiwan were similar to military uniforms, khaki from top to bottom. In 1983, HSNU changed the uniform to a light blue button-down shirt with dark blue trousers. Back in the days, HSNU was the first school that non khaki uniform. The girls' uniform was designed later, when girls started to enroll in the school's music program. The girls' uniform consisted of a white button-down shirt and a light blue suit skirt (with double folds down the front). The girls' uniform comes with an optional blazer jacket that matches the skirt. Most choose to wear the more comfortable black tracksuit jacket.

Experimental Classes

In addition to normal classes, there have been various kinds of experimental classes in HSNU. For example, between 1950 and 1961, HSNU tried a system with a four-year junior high school with two years of senior high school. The experimental science class was established in 1978 (Class 420 and Class 430 were created in the first year). In the year 2004, the Honors English Class (also known as, "English Experemental Class") was established. The first class was Senior High Class 1111.

School Anthem

HSNU's school anthem was composed during principal Huang's era by Shi Wei-Liang (史惟亮, Music Teacher). The text, in Chinese, was written by Guo Tang (郭橖, History Teacher) and Xiao Hui-Kai (蕭輝楷, Compilation Leader).

附中附中我們的搖籃,漫天烽火創建在台灣。
玉山給我們靈秀雄奇,東海使我們擴大開展。
我們來自四方,融會了各地的優點。
我們親愛精誠,師生結成了一片。
砥礪學行,鍛鍊體魄,我們是新中國的中堅。
看我們附中培育的英才,肩負起時代的重擔。
附中青年,絕不怕艱難。
復興中華,相期在明天。
把附中精神,照耀祖國的錦繡河山。

Translation:

Mount Jade gives us cleverness and grandeur,
The East China Sea makes us broad-minded.
We come from far and near and integrate all our merits together.
We are loving, earnest and sincere so that teachers and students live together harmoniously.
We encourage each other to form moral character and strong bodies,
We are the backbone of the new age of China.

We are never afraid of difficulties.
Let's cooperate to make efforts for the rebirth of China,
Let's enlighten the land of enchanting beauty, our fatherland, with the spirit of HSNU.
