Campus Becomes Zoo

With the hope of promoting a ‘friendly campus’, Guei Ren Junior High School in Tainan County are raising many rare as well as cute animals, and as a result animal silhouettes can be seen all over the campus, including Mallards, Formosan serow and the rarely seen Formosan Sika Deer.  Students are undertaking the job of cleaning out the animal’s pens and the student liaison teacher has formulated a special biology lesson around the animals, allowing remedial students to participate in the looking after of Formosan Sika Deer with the hope of fostering a love for study within them.  Although the project has been running for only a brief time, and a decision of success or failure is still pending, however the school has a plan to raise even more animals, hoping students can through the interplay with the animals learn respect for life.

校園變成動物園　情境教育的實踐 (by 嘉義公民記者 中正e報)

台南縣歸仁國中推動「友善校園」，處處可見動物可愛的身影，除了綠頭鴨(Mallard)、台灣山羊(Formosan serow)，還有難得一見的梅花鹿(Formasan Sika Deer)等。欄舍的打掃工作，也請同學來進行。輔導室老師也設計了生命教育課程，讓中介資源班的同學參與照顧梅花鹿，希望同學能從中體會學習的樂趣。雖 然這項計畫進行不久，成效仍有待觀察，但是校方也計畫未來把更多不同動物帶入校園當中，希望讓學生在與動物的互動之中，學習尊重生命。
