The parent school of Qigu's Qishierfen area.
Zhuqiao Elementary opened in April 1922 as "七股公學校樹仔腳分離教室," reorganized that same year as "七十二份公學校." Its catchment historically covered Qishierfen (today's Zhuqiao), Sangu, Yongji, Shifen, Kanglang, and Zhuzaigang. Sangu split off as its own school in 1950, and Shulin followed in 1970, making Zhuqiao the historic "parent" institution of the district. The school celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2022 with festivities including students climbing the campus's roughly century-old banyan tree, nicknamed "Grandpa Banyan," and an award ceremony honoring four distinguished local families.
竹橋國小創校於大正11年（1922年）4月，最初為「七股公學校樹仔腳分離教室」，同年改制為「七十二份公學校」。學區歷史上涵蓋七十二份（今竹橋）、三股、永吉、十份、康朗及竹仔港等地。三股於民國39年（1950年）分校獨立，樹林於民國59年（1970年）跟進，使竹橋國小成為區內歷史最悠久的「母校」。學校於2022年舉辦建校百年校慶，活動包括學生攀爬校內約百年樹齡的老榕樹「榕樹爺爺」，並舉行表揚四大地方望族的頒獎典禮。
What makes this school worth knowing.
🌳 Grandpa Banyan

🎉 A Century Celebrated in 2022
2022年建校百年
The school's 100th-anniversary festivities honored four distinguished local families alongside the tree-climbing tradition, tying the celebration directly to the district's long agricultural history.
A living symbol of Qigu's agricultural past.
As the oldest school in the Qishierfen/Zhuqiao area and parent institution to two other Qigu elementary schools, Zhuqiao's centennial banyan tree has become a living symbol of the district's long agricultural and salt-worker community history — one shared with the salt fields, oyster farms, and lagoon villages that surround it. See the Tainan city page for more on the region.
