A coastal school named for the oyster trade.
Hejian Elementary was approved in 1951 as a branch class of Dapo National School (大坡國民學校蚵間分班), becoming an independent school in 1956. The school sits near a "green tunnel" (綠色隧道) of trees and faces the Taiwan Strait, bordering Xinfeng Township in neighboring Hsinchu County. It is known locally for its kapok (木棉) trees and for a flower-drum (花鼓) performance troupe that performs at local temples and county-level competitions.
蚵間國小於1951年（民國40年）核准設立，最初為大坡國民學校蚵間分班，1956年（民國45年）獨立設校。校址鄰近一條綠色隧道，面向台灣海峽，緊鄰新竹縣新豐鄉。學校以木棉樹聞名，並擁有一支花鼓表演隊，經常在地方廟會與縣級比賽中演出。
