St. Bonaventure Girls' Senior High School Histor y St. Bonaventure Girls’ Senior High School (S.B.) was founded by Franciscan Sisters of The Holy Infant Jesus (O.S.F.). In 1957, Sr. Mary Chang, OSF, Sr. Gloria Li, OSF, and Sr. Antonia Ho, OSF, came to Taiwan with Bishop Julius E. Dillon from USA. They firstly established St. Francis Kindergarten and Stella Maris Dormitory. Being aware of the importance on providing better education to local females, they started thinking about founding a girls’ school. To make the plan in action, the Sisters took several trips to USA to raise fund for purchasing land and building campus. The school board was established in 1965 and Bishop Cheng Shih-kuang from Taipei Parish acted as chairman. In 1977, following the national educational policy, the school added the Department of Household Management to train the vocational technicians. In 1990, to meet the needs of the society, the school recruited the students who took the general courses. At present, we have more than 1,000 students and 90 members in the staff. In 2005, the school was renamed St. Bonaventure Girls' Senior High School. Spirits About Teachers: All of our certified teachers exert their own specialty on teaching; besides, they are enthusiastic to pursue further studies and upgrade themselves. Emphasizing on arousing students’ learning motivation, we apply various teaching approaches combined with multimedia materials into classrooms. Therefore, we make the best use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) on the spot of teaching. We expect students to stand on the right stage and to live a satisfactory life in the future. About Students: The concept of the Whole-man Education is applied to the campus. Teachers are supposed to take the initiative to understand the needs of students and to cultivate students according to their unique personality and talents. Moreover, our teachers should leave no efforts to create many a positive learning experience in class. With these experiences, students will be empowered with more confidence to try and to explore. Thus, students can strive for their goals in life with enthusiasm. Consulting Function: We aggressively engage in the consultation of psychology, life, studying, and realize the consulting system in order to optimistically develop the accurate points of view toward the life. Religious Spirit: By means of the activities such as the voice of St. Bonaventure’s prayer, Bible sharing, Mass, May Queen For Crowning Virgin Mary and so on, we hope to have students realize the manners of church and religion, praising Virgin Mary’s virtues and building up the heart of caring society. Scholarships: We build up various kinds of good scholarship systems, including Excellent New Comer’s Attraction Scholarship, Students Supporting Scholarship, Student’s Inspiration and Encouragement Scholarship, Examination Scholarship, Same School Strategy Scholarship, Dormitory Scholarship, and Parents Scholarship ,etc. Diverse Extracurricular Activities: We have totally 20 school clubs of academic, service, recreation, and arts. The various club activities allow students to display their vitality and develop their potentials. Outlook With the efforts of the principal, all faculties and students, the rate of admission to colleges and universities has been rising steadily in recent years. Besides, in view of the multiple college entrance programs, we are sure to promote both the quality and the rate of admissions. Along with the religious spirit: supreme sacrifices, ardent love for people, and everlasting joy, our school will get with the times in more liberal and more democratic style, leaving students growing safely and learning happily in this “big family”. The current chairman of the board is Sister Anna Huang O.S.F. and the present Principal is Dorita Cheng. Since the principal Cheng assumed charge of the school, she has been following the consistently good system of our school to propel school affairs forward with delicate faith of education: transcendence pursuit and quality promotion. It is certain that her leadership style, doing extraordinary things with a light heart, will make the education of St. Bonaventure elevated.
