Wanhe Elementary School

萬合國民小學

A small rural public elementary school built on a former sand dune, founded so local children would no longer have to walk six kilometers to the nearest school.

建於昔日沙丘上的小型鄉村國小,當初創校正是為了讓孩子不必再跋涉六公里去上學。

About · 學校簡介

A school built out of a community's grassroots effort.

Before Wanhe Elementary existed, children in this part of Erlin Township had to walk six kilometers to Yuandou National School — a hardship that spurred local leaders to campaign for a school of their own. The campus was originally a sand dune overgrown with reeds and wild grass before being developed, and over roughly fifty years it was built up through the joint efforts of principals, teachers, alumni, and local parents. Its exact founding date is not documented on the school's public materials, but its history of community-driven growth is well recorded. Today it is a small, Ministry of Education-designated remote school near the Erlin (Phase 4) site of the Central Taiwan Science Park, with an emphasis on character education and well-rounded development.

在萬合國小成立之前,當地學童必須步行六公里到原斗國小上學,這樣的艱辛促使地方人士發起籌設學校的行動。校地原本是一片長滿蘆葦與雜草的沙丘,經過歷任校長、教師、校友與地方家長約五十年的共同努力才逐步建設起來。學校正式創校的確切年代未見於公開資料,但其由社區合力建校的歷史清楚可考。如今,這裡是教育部認定的偏鄉小校,鄰近中科二林(四期)園區,注重品格教育與多元發展。

What makes this school worth knowing.

🚶 Founded to End a Long Walk

為終結六公里通學路而生

Before the school was built, Wanhe's children walked six kilometers each way to attend Yuandou National School — a burden that drove residents to organize and establish a school of their own.

🏜️ Built on a Sand Dune

昔日沙丘上的校園

The campus stands on land that was once a wild sand dune covered in reeds and grass, transformed over decades into the school grounds students use today.

🤝 Half a Century of Community Effort

歷時半世紀的社區共建

The school took shape gradually over roughly fifty years, built up through the sustained cooperation of principals, teachers, alumni, and parents from the surrounding Wanhe community.

🔬 A Small School Near a Big Science Park
