The Traditional Room of the school

In 1986, Thông Tây Hội senior high school was established, but it was very poor, so building a Traditional Room was out of the question (beyond the means). All the school’s documentation was stored in a corner of the corridor. Not until Thông Tây Hội senior high school began the reconstruction in 1999 was The Traditional room designed. In the event of 4th traditional celebration of the school in 2002, the Traditional Room was better-equipped under Ms. Nguyễn Kim Định’s support. But then the room was used as a classroom while the school was under reconstruction within 2 periods of time (1999–2001, 2001–2005).

In October 2006, the Traditional Room was restored and best-equipped and only after 15 November 2006 was the room officially open to visitors.

Designing the Traditional Room, the teaching staff expect to raise the learning autonomy of all students through “ancestor’s good example”. Besides, the room is to store and display the school’s quintessence with a view to bringing students pride and determination to maintain the school’s tradition.

In the front of the altar of Nguyễn Công Trứ in the Traditional Room engraves a round embossment of four particular symbols: cloud, sky, river and mountain. [The circle symbolizes the universe containing the sky and the ground].
