SRB Chung Hua No.1, Kuching - 古晋中华小学第一校

古晋中华小学第一校简称一小，创办于1945年11月1日，原名中华学校，是由华人社团在第二次世界大战后统筹统办的五间华小之一。一小前身为福建学校，开办之初借用位于达闽路旁山丘上。古晋福建公会属下福建学校为校址。当时只有福建楼及女宿舍两座建筑物。六十年代初，增建二座木质两层楼课室。到了七十年代初期再扩建一座拥有24间课室的钢骨水泥校舍。在1978年又增设了一座大停车场及食堂。接着在1991年，校董会又大兴土木，增设一座拥有十二间课室的建筑物，其中保括一座礼堂、资讯中心及图书馆。至此一小校舍已臻完善。

一小位于山丘之上，四周树木环立，空气清新，鸟语花香。一片清葱恰人之景色，提供了一个专心向学的理想环境。
