About · 學校簡介

The school a private villa made possible.

Xiangshan Elementary was founded on June 20, 1908 — two years before the Republic of China itself — under the name Niupu Public School (牛埔公學校). Its very existence traces back to one act of local generosity: village elder Chen Yun-ju lent his private villa, "靜山居," to serve as the school's original building. Chen went on to donate land and raise funds for new school buildings in 1917, and the school moved to its current site in 1919. It took its present name, Hsinchu City Xiangshan District Xiangshan Elementary School, on February 1, 2002. Over more than 110 years of history, Xiangshan gave rise to two of the district's other schools — Dazhuang Elementary, independent since 1955, and Hulin Elementary, independent since 1958 — making it the historic root of much of Xiangshan's school network. Today it fields four varsity teams: archery, baseball, basketball, and recorder ensemble.

香山國小創立於1908年6月20日——早於中華民國建國兩年——當時名為「牛埔公學校」。學校的誕生源於地方仕紳陳雲如的一份善舉:他將自宅私人別墅「靜山居」借出作為學校最初的校舍。陳雲如其後更捐地募款,於1917年興建新校舍,學校並於1919年遷至現址。2002年2月1日,學校定名為新竹市香山區香山國民小學。逾110年的歷史中,香山國小先後孕育出區內另外兩所學校——1955年獨立設校的大庄國小,以及1958年獨立設校的虎林國小——使其成為香山區校際網絡的歷史根源。目前學校設有射箭、棒球、籃球與直笛合奏四支代表隊。

Xiangshan, Hsinchu's coastal Minnan heartland.

🦪

Xiangshan District is Hsinchu City's coastal district, long shaped by Minnan fishing and oyster-farming traditions and fringed by tidal wetlands. Xiangshan Elementary is the historic root of that heritage in the classroom: founded in 1908 through one gentry family's private philanthropy, it became the "mother school" from which several of the district's neighborhood elementary schools — including Dazhuang and Hulin — eventually grew independent. See the Hsinchu City county page for more on the region.
