中文簡介

    本校位於鹿野鄉龍田村，地處花東縱谷平原上，三面環山，遠眺卑南溪山光水色，環境優美，尤其校園裡古木參天，高聳屹立，象徵龍田人堅強勇毅、自立向上的精神，也代表龍田國小的歸屬感。

    龍田國小是鹿野鄉創校最早的小學，創設於大正六年（1917年），日治時期校名為鹿野尋常小學校，專供日本子弟就讀，由於學校認真辦學，在日治時期被譽台東最美的學校，至今龍田國小已有一百年校史。

    目前學校班級數有六班，學生45人，另設幼稚園一班，幼生數為17人，全校總計62人。由於農村人口外流日甚，本校從早年12班學生數510人逐年遞減迄今，學區家庭結構亦急遽改變，父母外出謀生者眾，單親家庭亦日趨增多，然而全體教師仍胼手胝足，在這農村小學校默默地燃點教育的燭火，奉獻教育愛，綻放教育文化之光和熱。多年來，教師的努力已獲社會人士肯定及稱許。

    龍田國小佔地3.13公頃，不僅綠地、老樹多，學生活動空間範圍非常大。校園內古樹參天，被台東縣政府列為珍貴百年老樹的計有11棵，樹種分別是老榕樹、楓香、黑松、茄苳樹、荔枝樹、黃連木、無患子、樟樹等，其中老榕樹及黃連木兩棵老樹，因歷經105年7月8日尼伯特風災，17級的強陣風侵襲下，老樹連根拔起，樹幹傾倒，實為臺東地區老樹生態的一大浩劫。學校利用大樹及環境生態資源，使學生可以快樂得接觸自然，因此自然環境優美的龍田國小不僅是日治時期台東最美的學校，現在仍是台東最美的小學之一。

Brief Introduction

   Our school is located in Longtian Village of Luye Township, which lies on the plain of the East Rift Valley, surrounded by hills on three sides. We can overlook Beinan Xishan light water with a beautiful view around our school.

   The ancient trees that tower into the clouds on our campus represent the strong courage and self-reliance and a sense of belonging of Longtian Primary School. Longtian Elementary School, founded in 1917, is the oldest elementary school in Kanojang. During the Japanese colonization period, our school was called Luye Exemplary Junior High school and specifically attended by Japanese children to go to.During the Japanese occupation period, the staff members of the school worked very hard for it to be known as the most beautiful school in Taitung at that time.

    Longtian Elementary School with a hundred years of history has 62 students in total. There are six classes of 45 students at present for primary school and one class of 17 students for preschool. Due to the outflow of the rural population, the school’s student numbers have declined from a peak of 510. The structure of the families is rapidly changing too with more parents actively participating in the workforce and more single parents too. Despite all this, the teachers are all still working very hard and dedicating their life to the education. They try to be the light of the students. Over many years, the efforts of teachers have been recognized and praised by the community.

    Our school covers an area of 3.13 hectares including not only old trees that we planted but also large play areas for various activities for students. There are 11 tall trees that are over one hundred years old reaching through the clouds. They are valued by Taitung County Government. The tree species include Old Banyan, Sweet Gum, Black Pine, Eggplant Tree, Lychee Tree, Pistache Tree,Sapindus, Camphor etc. Due to Taitung being hit by category 17 strong Typhoon Nepartak on July 8th 2016, the “Old Banyan Tree and Pistacia tree” were destroyed. It was an ecological disaster for our old trees. Our school makes great use of trees as environmental and ecological resources for students to connect happily with nature. Therefore,” Longtian Primary School” was the most beautiful natural environment during the period of the Japanese colonization and Longtian Primary School is still one of the most beautiful primary schools now.
