Where puppet theater comes alive.
Xinxing Elementary School has built a distinctive identity around traditional budaixi (glove puppet theater) and Chinese orchestra programs. Its puppet troupe won the Special Excellence "Small Golden Palm Award" at the 2023 Yunlin International Puppet Festival, a notable achievement for a small township school. The school sits near the Hushan Reservoir on Yunlin's coastal plain.
新興國小以傳統布袋戲與國樂社團發展出鮮明的學校特色。該校布袋戲團於2023年雲林國際偶戲節榮獲「小金掌獎」特別優等獎，對一所鄉間小學而言相當難得。學校座落於雲林濱海平原，鄰近湖山水庫。
