Xitun Elementary School

Xitun Elementary School was established in 1903 during the Japanese colonial era and opened in 1904 as the independently named Dadun Public School. As the oldest school among this group, it gives the district its own name and is the direct institutional descendant of the old Xidaduan settlement that gave Xitun District its historic identity long before Tunghai University and Feng Chia University arrived. The school has been renamed several times, through the 1947 municipal reorganization and the 1968 nine-year-education reform.

西屯國小創立於西元1903年（日治時期），西元1904年以「大墩公學校」之名獨立設校。作為此批次校史最久的學校，其校名即與西屯區同名，是舊西大墩聚落的直接傳承者——這個聚落早在東海大學、逢甲大學進駐之前，便已賦予西屯區歷史身分。學校歷經民國36年（1947年）行政區劃調整及民國57年（1968年）九年國教改制，數度更名。
