A small school built around Bunun identity.
Zhuofeng Elementary is a small rural school in Gufeng Village, deep in the mountainous Zhuoxi Township of Hualien County. Like most schools in this remote area, it serves a student body that is almost entirely Bunun Indigenous, and its school motto — to raise students who are grateful, confident, and competitive Bunun people — reflects a curriculum built around cultural transmission as much as academics.
卓楓國小是一所位於花蓮縣卓溪鄉古風村深山中的小型學校。如同這個偏遠地區的多數學校，學生幾乎全為布農族原住民，校訓期許學生成為「知足感恩、自信積極」的布農子弟，展現出以文化傳承為核心的辦學精神。
What makes this school worth knowing.
🏹 Archery as a School Tradition
傳統射箭訓練
Students practice archery as part of school life, a skill rooted in Bunun hunting tradition and taught here as a living cultural practice rather than a museum piece.
🎶 Voices in Polyphony
布農傳統複音吟唱
The school teaches traditional Bunun polyphonic singing, an intricate vocal tradition passed down through generations of communal ceremony and song.
🏔️ A Mini School in the Mountains
深山中的迷你小學
Zhuofeng is one of several very small "mini schools" scattered across Zhuoxi's remote villages, where low enrollment means close relationships between teachers and students.
🙏 A Motto Rooted in Character
感恩自信的布農子弟
The school's guiding motto calls on students to become grateful, confident, and competitive members of the Bunun community — character formation alongside classroom learning.
Zhuoxi Township, a Bunun mountain home.
Zhuoxi Township is a remote, mountainous district of Hualien County near Yushan National Park, home to a majority Bunun Indigenous population. Its eight elementary schools — and no junior high — reflect villages small enough that most students continue their education elsewhere after sixth grade. See the Hualien schools page for the full township list.
