The green elf of the mountains.
Toubian Elementary School traces its origins to 1942, when it opened during the Japanese colonial era as a branch school of Daping Public School, known as the Toubiankeng Branch School, before becoming independent in 1946. A small school in Taiping District's remote eastern mountains, it has embraced the self-branded nickname ‘the green elf of the mountains,’ reflecting its rural, highland character.
頭汴國小的歷史可追溯至日治時期昭和17年（1942年），最初以「大平公學校頭汴坑分教場」之名設立，於民國35年（1946年）獨立設校。這所位於太平區偏遠東側山區的小校，自稱為「山中的綠精靈」，展現其山區鄉村的獨特風貌。
