A newer school built to serve a growing community.
Busin Elementary School was founded on August 1, 1992, when its first principal, Tsai Chung-chen, arrived to lead the new school; the completed campus opened in August 1994 with 12 classes, built specifically to relieve overcrowding at older schools in the Budai area. Enrollment has since fluctuated to around 10 classes. The school added a swimming pool in 1999, and its children's orchestra has gone on to compete nationally, while students' artwork has been featured in a world children's art exhibition. A school lunch program began in 2000, with a kindergarten class added the following year.
布新國小創校於民國81年（1992年）8月1日，首任校長蔡崇珍到任；新校舍於民國83年（1994年）8月正式啟用，開辦12班，主要目的是紓解布袋地區舊校學區擁擠的問題，其後班級數曾波動至10班左右。學校於民國88年（1999年）啟用游泳池，兒童管弦樂團曾在全國賽事中演出，學生美術作品也曾入選世界兒童美術展。民國89年（2000年）開辦學校午餐，隔年（2001年）增設幼兒園班級。
What makes this school worth knowing.
🏊 A Campus Swimming Pool
校內游泳池
Opened in 1999, the school's swimming pool is a notable facility for a small township school, supporting water-safety education in a coastal area.
🎻 A Nationally Competitive Orchestra
全國賽事管弦樂團
Busin's children's orchestra has competed at the national level, a striking achievement for a relatively young and small rural elementary school.
🖼️ Student Art on the World Stage
作品躍上世界兒童美術展
Students' artwork has been selected for a world children's art exhibition, reflecting a school that nurtures creative talent well beyond the classroom.
🏗️ Built to Relieve Overcrowding
紓解學區擁擠而生
Opening with 12 classes in 1994, Busin was purpose-built to ease overcrowding at Budai's older schools, making it one of the newer additions to the township's education system.
Serving Budai's Wenchang and Cenhai communities.
As a relatively young school built to serve Budai's Wenchang/Cenhai residential area, Busin complements the town's older schools while drawing on the same fishing-and-aquaculture-based local community for its student body — a reminder that even Budai's newest school is rooted in the same coastal way of life. See the Chiayi county page for more on the region.
