Jianxin Elementary School sits in Xinsheng Village (新生村), the eastern reach of Fangyuan Township on Changhua County's western coast. The land here was once the bed of the Zhuoshui River — all sand, swept by autumn and winter winds. In August 1952, more than fifty local people — Wu Yu-shui, Chen Jin-long, Chen Qing-xiu, Lin Chun-de and forty-six others — pooled donations and gave their own land to open Caohu Elementary's Xinsheng Branch. Nine years later, in August 1961, the branch became independent: Jianxin Elementary School was born.
建新國小位於芳苑鄉新生村，地屬彰化縣西海岸。這片土地原為濁水溪河床、全沙地，每逢秋冬風沙飛揚。民國 41 年（1952）8 月，吳雨水、陳金龍、陳清秀、林春德等五十多位地方人士募資捐地，設立草湖國校新生分班。九年後的民國 50 年（1961）8 月，分校獨立為「建新國民學校」——這就是建新國小的起點。
Today, six classrooms hold around 68 children, with a teacher-to-student ratio of 1 : 5.2. The campus stretches across generous grounds — over 200 square meters per student — leaving room for STEAM benches, Tai Chi practice mats, and the carrot beds of our food-education programme. Small school. Open sky. Deep coast.
如今，全校 6 班、約 68 位孩子，師生比 1:5.2。校地寬敞，平均每位學生擁有超過 200 平方公尺的校園空間——足以放下 STEAM 工作桌、太極練習場，以及食農課程的紅蘿蔔田。一所小學校，一片開闊的天空，一段深長的海岸。
Four signature programmes carry every Jianxin child through six years — one for the page, one for the lab bench, one for the field, one for the body.
我們以四大校本課程陪伴每一位建新的孩子走過六年——一個給書頁、一個給實驗桌、一個給田地、一個給身體。
Few rural schools with only six classes reach the national science-fair podium. Jianxin has done it two editions in a row — placing in biology at the 64th National Science Fair and taking third place in chemistry at the 66th. Add a county-level sweep in Tai Chi — first and second place in the 13-Form, plus medals in Push-Hands — and Cool English Speaking Kings every year, and the pattern is clear: at Jianxin, the size of the school does not limit the size of the work. 很少有 6 班規模的偏鄉小校能站上全國科展的領獎台——建新做到了兩屆，第 64 屆生物科佳作、第 66 屆化學科第三名。再加上太極拳教育盃 13 式第一、二名、推手錦標賽佳績、Cool English 口說王 14 位獲獎——建新用行動證明：學校的「規模小」，並不限制孩子「表現的尺寸」。
Principal Lin Chia-hui joined Jianxin in August 2025 — the first phase of Changhua County's 114th-year principal selection. She brings four years of principal experience from Chang'an Elementary School, where she led an internationally-minded campus committed to rural-school innovation.
林家惠校長於 2025 年 8 月（民國 114 學年度第一階段遴選）就任建新國小校長。她自 彰化縣長安國小調任而來——在前一所學校的四年任期內，她以「偏鄉小校 × 國際視野」的辦學路線而為同業所知。
As Jianxin enters its seventh decade, Principal Lin is shaping a campus that holds two compass points in balance: roots in Xinsheng — sand, sea, carrot, sea ox, Tai Chi — and reach into the wider world — STEAM, bilingual reading, Cool English, the global classroom. This bilingual website is part of that reach.
建新國小邁入第七個十年，林校長以兩個指南針點為辦學主軸：扎根新生村——沙地、海岸、紅蘿蔔、海牛、太極；延伸到更寬廣的世界——STEAM、雙語閱讀、Cool English、全球教室。這個雙語網站，就是她「向外延伸」的其中一步。
