The township's oldest school, and its oldest tree.
Xinfeng Elementary School was founded in 1918 during the Japanese colonial era, making it the oldest school in Xinfeng Township. Its century-old banyan tree has survived wartime bombing, Typhoon Morakot in 2009, and pest infestation, becoming a living symbol of the school's resilience and identity. Drawing on its coastal location, the school integrates local mangrove ecology and Hakka cultural themes into its ocean and international education curricula, connecting students to both the natural environment and their heritage.
新豐國小創立於大正7年（1918年）日治時期，是新豐鄉歷史最悠久的學校。校內百年老榕樹歷經戰時轟炸、民國98年（2009年）莫拉克颱風及蟲害侵襲仍屹立不搖，成為學校韌性與精神的象徵。學校善用其沿海地理位置，將在地紅樹林生態與客家文化主題融入海洋教育與國際教育課程，讓學生同時與自然環境及自身文化根源建立連結。
