Description of Our Community: Our school is located in Song-San district of Taipei city. Established in 1936, it's a typical metropolitan school. Although we have a big playground, there is no gymnasium or indoor space for students to exercise. The area where a petanque game is played is called a "terrain". In 2010, we completed a Pétanque court and we have our first Pétanque team. Our Pétanque team win lots of trophies,and we let more people know about it!

Project Description: Pétanque is a sport which has been neglected all the time. The number of Pétanque teams in schools is limited. It’s unlike basketball or soccer that there are always star players or been broadcasted. However, its effects of exercise are not different from others’.

Pétanque is a form of boules where the goal is to throw hollow metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a jack, while standing inside a starting circle with both feet on the ground. During the last 3 months, we searched the internet for the information about Pétanque, interviewed important persons, we designed different questionnaires, and we even learned how to play Pétanque. We really appreciate our advisors, who instruct us how to finish the project and how to build web pages.
