About · 學校簡介

Built for overflow, remembered for science.

Guanghua Elementary began preparations in 1967-68 and completed its first building in February 1970, with staff and students relocating from the overcrowded Wuquan Elementary School. It was founded to relieve pressure on three neighboring schools — Wuquan, Aiqun, and Lequn Elementary — as Cianjhen rapidly transformed from farmland into dense residential neighborhoods in the late 1960s and 1970s. In 1985, the school placed first regionally in a physics science fair.

光華國小於民國56至57年(1967至68年)間籌備,民國59年(1970年)2月首棟校舍完工,師生自人數過多的五權國小遷入。學校的設立是為紓解五權、愛群、樂群等鄰近三校的就學壓力,反映了前鎮地區在1960年代末至1970年代由農地迅速轉變為密集住宅區的都市化歷程。民國74年(1985年)該校於物理科展中榮獲地區第一名。

One school among several born of overflow.

🏙️

Guanghua's founding is part of a chain of schools built to absorb Cianjhen's overflowing population as the district shifted from farmland to dense housing in the late 1960s and 70s — a pattern repeated across several of the district's elementary schools. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
