Busan Overseas Chinese Middle and High School posted a notice of its autumn trip on the school bulletin board. Dates and preparations are set out in the announcement.

The school posts term openings, examinations and events on the board by term. It is the main channel through which parents and graduates follow school news.

The trip notice follows the announcement of the opening of the first term of academic year 115.

The Academic Calendar at Overseas Chinese Schools

Overseas Chinese schools in South Korea use the Taiwanese academic year notation. Academic year 115 corresponds to the 115th year of the Republic of China calendar, that is 2026, and its starting point differs somewhat from the March term start at Korean schools.

The curriculum is based on Taiwan's while adjusted for students living in Korean society. Balancing between two educational systems has long been the task of these schools.

The Trip as Part of the Year

A school trip is not simply an outing but part of the academic program. At smaller schools the whole student body usually travels together, which makes it an occasion where relationships form across year groups.

Busan Overseas Chinese High School is not large. From term openings and examinations to calligraphy prizes, graduation and teacher recruitment, each notice on its board records another part of the school's year.

This paper summarizes the school's notice in its own words. For the detailed schedule, please consult the original announcement. (Source: Busan Overseas Chinese High School notice)
