Rainbow Homeland ~ Bakic.
Shuiyuan Elementary was originally the "Zuocang" branch of Jiamin Elementary before becoming independent in 1955. The school has embraced the self-branded identity "Rainbow Homeland ~ Bakic," using "Bakic" — the Truku place name for the area — to tie its modern identity directly to Indigenous heritage. Shuiyuan has also built a strong baseball program with multiple recent championship titles, alongside a continued emphasis on Truku language education and cultural preservation.
水源國小原為佳民國小的「佐倉」分校，於1955年獨立設校。學校以「彩虹家園 Bakic」作為自我品牌識別，「Bakic」是這片土地的太魯閣族地名，將學校的現代形象與原住民文化根源緊密相連。水源國小也發展出實力堅強的棒球隊，近年屢獲全國賽事冠軍，同時持續重視太魯閣族語教育與文化保存。
