A small school with a big campus — and room for every child to run, to read, and to grow.
一所小小的學校，一座大大的校園——讓每個孩子都有奔跑、閱讀與長大的空間。
Da Jah is a long-established village school in Hemei Township, out among the rice fields — small, rural, and part of the life of this community for generations. We are the smallest school in Hemei. But as the old saying goes, a sparrow may be small and still have every organ intact: our campus holds a wide sports field, a pavilion and a lily pond, a garden, playgrounds, and reading corners tucked into every quiet spot.
大嘉是一所座落在和美鎮田野間的農村小學，歷史悠久，好幾個世代的孩子都在這裡長大。我們是和美鎮內最小的學校，但正如那句老話——麻雀雖小，五臟俱全：寬廣的運動場、涼亭與水池、大嘉好花園、遊戲區，還有藏在校園各個角落的閱讀空間。
Just inside the gate stands a white boulder carved with three red characters: 大嘉好. Read aloud it sounds exactly like da jia hao — “hello, everyone.” It is our name and our greeting at the same time, and it is the first thing every visitor meets.
走進校門，迎面是一顆刻著三個紅字的白石——「大嘉好」。唸出來，就是「大家好」。那既是校名，也是問候，是每位訪客見到的第一句話。
Rice fields on one side, a running track on the other — this is where our children learn.
一邊是稻田，一邊是跑道——孩子們就在這裡學習。
Seen from above, Da Jah is a green square set into farmland: a full oval track, ball courts, old trees, and solar panels along every roof. The gate carries our name twice — DA JAH PRIMARY SCHOOL in gold, and 大嘉國民小學 up the tower beside it.
從空中看，大嘉是嵌在農田裡的一塊綠地：完整的橢圓跑道、球場、老樹，以及屋頂上一整排的太陽能板。校門上的校名寫了兩次——金色的 DA JAH PRIMARY SCHOOL，以及一旁塔柱上直書的「大嘉國民小學」。
Four words, and a whole education: 勤勞 · 健康 · 好學 · 向善.
四個詞，一整套教育：勤勞、健康、好學、向善。
Da Jah keeps to whole-person education. The whole school pulls in one direction: we care about children’s health, and we work to light up their appetite for learning. Two things sit at the centre of everything — reading and character — and our teachers pay close attention to how a child lives day to day, not only to how a child scores. The aim is simple, and it is spelled out in six characters: children who love to read and are well-mannered.
大嘉秉持全人教育，全校一致齊心發展多元活動，以重視孩子健康、激發學生學習熱情為重點。一切的核心是兩件事——「閱讀」與「品格」；老師們著重孩子的日常生活與讀書態度關注，奠定新時代兒童處事能力，目標寫在六個字裡：培育出「愛讀書、有教養」的孩子。
熊愛閱讀 — the bear loves reading. Say it aloud and it also means: we really love reading.
「熊愛閱讀」——唸快一點，就是「很愛閱讀」。
A Formosan black bear reads on the wall; a wooden tree grows out of the floor and holds the picture books in its branches. The furniture is low, the books are within reach, and no one has to ask permission to sit down and start.
牆上有一隻正在看書的台灣黑熊，地板上長出一棵木頭做的樹，樹枝就是書架。家具矮矮的，書伸手可及，坐下來翻開一本，不必先問過誰。
The classroom is not the only place a lesson happens here.
在大嘉，教室不是唯一上課的地方。
Alongside these, the campus has an outdoor performance deck, a well-equipped audio-visual room, and the student activity centre whose white curve and red canopy you see at the top of this page. Learning resources are generous for a school this size — and that is deliberate. Everywhere is a place to learn; every moment is a moment of learning.
除此之外，校園裡還有戶外展台、設備完善的視聽教室，以及本頁最上方那座白色弧線、紅色雨庇的學生活動中心。以這樣規模的學校而言，學習資源相當豐富——而這是刻意的：處處是學習，時時在學習。
Running, ball games, exercise, play — there is space here, and plenty of it.
跑步、打球、運動、遊戲——空間綽綽有餘。
Da Jah has a proper oval track with lanes and a start line, courts for ball games, and a playground with slides and climbing frames. For a school of our size that is a luxury — and it means every child gets a turn, every time.
大嘉有畫著分道與起跑線的完整跑道、打球的場地，還有溜滑梯與攀爬架的遊戲區。以我們的規模來說，這是一種奢侈——也意味著每個孩子每一次都輪得到。
Come in through the gate and take a look around.
從校門走進來，看看大嘉的模樣。
A professional, forward-looking learning park, full of love and warmth.
為孩子經營一個「專業、前瞻、充滿愛與溫暖的學習樂園」。
