A remote school with a distinctive signature activity.
Duonian Elementary School serves a small, remote settlement, with many students coming from new-immigrant or economically disadvantaged families. As of 2023 it had about 93 students and 16 teachers. While its founding date is not documented, the school has built a strong identity around whole-school unicycling, which every student — starting from first grade — takes part in one day a week, a tradition it has embraced island-wide recognition for since 2023.
多年國小服務一個偏遠而規模不大的聚落，許多學生來自新住民或經濟弱勢家庭。截至2023年，全校約有93名學生與16位教師。雖然創校年代未有明確紀錄，但學校以全校「獨輪車」活動建立起鮮明特色——自一年級起，全體學生每週固定一天一同騎乘獨輪車，2023年起更成為全島知名的活動。
