池東國民小學

About · 學校簡介

The elder school of the Xiyu peninsula.

Chidong Elementary was founded on February 17, 1903, under Japanese rule — the fourth school established in all of Penghu, making it one of the county's oldest. Over the following decades it set up branch classrooms in Neian (1919) and the Zhugaowan/Zhuwan area (1920), and several of those branches went on to become independent schools of their own, including Chima (1963) and Dachi (1970). Renamed "Chidong National Elementary School" in 1968, it today runs six elementary classes plus a kindergarten class and a special-education class, serving the villages of Chidong, Chisi, and Erkan. Since 2024, it has also taken on the former Zhuwan Elementary as a branch campus following that school's closure.

池東國小創立於明治36年(1903年)2月17日,是澎湖設立的第4所學校,為全縣歷史最悠久的學校之一。此後數十年間,陸續在內垵(1919年)、竹篙灣/竹灣(1920年)設立分教場,其中赤馬(1963年)、大池(1970年)等分校後來獨立設校。民國57年(1968年)定名為「池東國民小學」,現設有國小部6班,並附設幼兒園班及特教班,服務池東、池西、二崁等村。自2024學年度起,原竹灣國小併入本校,成為分校。

Local Culture · 在地文化

A century of Xiyu's settlement history.

As one of the oldest schools on the Xiyu peninsula, Chidong Elementary's history is woven into the founding of several other village schools across this fishing and farming community — a living record of how Penghu's scattered Minnan settlements built local education village by village. See the Penghu county page for more on the region.
