A school named for a sandbar.
Shanwei Elementary sits in Kaohsiung's southernmost coastal area, in Linyuan District, taking its name from a sandbar landform at the tip of the local coastline. The school's precise founding date has not been documented beyond a 2010 administrative renaming following the county-city merger, but its campus design reflects an ocean theme fitting its seaside setting.
汕尾國小座落於高雄最南端的濱海地區，屬林園區，校名取自當地海岸沙洲地形。學校確切創校年份未有明確紀錄，僅知2010年縣市合併後曾進行行政更名，但其校園設計呈現出符合濱海環境的海洋主題特色。
