Profile
About · 學校簡介

A century-old school, relocated after disaster.

Xiulin Elementary was founded on March 27, 1919, as "打貓公學校林子尾分校" (a branch of Damao Public School in Linziwei) — sharing the same historic "Damao" place name as Minsyong Elementary. After the 1999 (921) earthquake damaged the campus, and given shifts in local population, the school relocated to the more populous Beidou Village, where it sits today. With over a century of history, the school now fields a baseball team, runs bilingual education with extensive English resources including Cool English and Bill Kuo English materials alongside an SDG curriculum, and houses its collection in a library named "Yushan Library" (玉山圖書館).

秀林國小創立於大正8年(1919年)3月27日,最初名為「打貓公學校林子尾分校」——與民雄國小共享同樣的「打貓」歷史地名。1999年921大地震重創校園後,加上在地人口分布變化,學校遷至人口較密集的北斗村,即今日校址。校史已逾百年,如今設有棒球隊,並推動結合Cool English、Bill Kuo English等豐富英語資源的雙語教育與SDG課程,館藏則收藏於命名為「玉山圖書館」的校園圖書館。

Another echo of the "Damao" era.

🏚️

Like Minsyong Elementary, Xiulin's original name references the pre-1920 "Damao" place name, and its post-921-earthquake relocation to Beidou Village is part of the same wave of disaster-driven school reorganization that produced nearby Fule Elementary School. See the Chiayi County page for more on the region.
