A small school with an outsized reach.
Gumin Elementary is a small, officially designated remote/rural school serving the villages of Gumin and Zhongzhuang in Xingang Township's inland farmland, away from the temple-town core around Fengtian Temple. Despite its size, the school runs a lively mix of extracurricular programs, including a harmonica ensemble and an archery club, and operates a dedicated "愛心育苗計畫" (Love Seedling talent development plan) to support both at-risk and gifted students. In recent years, its students have brought home honors in archery, music, art, and reading competitions.
古民國小是嘉義縣政府正式列為偏遠地區的小型學校，服務新港鄉內陸的古民與中庄兩村，遠離奉天宮周邊的廟街核心區。儘管規模不大，學校仍推動豐富多元的社團活動，包括口琴隊與射箭隊，並設有「愛心育苗計畫」，扶助弱勢與資優學生。近年學生在射箭、音樂、美術及閱讀競賽中屢獲佳績。

Beyond the temple town.
While Xingang Township is best known for Fengtian Temple (奉天宮) and its Matsu pilgrimage culture, Gumin Elementary sits in the township's quieter agricultural hinterland, serving the farming villages of Gumin and Zhongzhuang outside the temple-town core. See the Chiayi County page for more on the region.
