Tips

usage
Common in administrative notices, school documents, and signage. ('this / our') functions like English 'this' or 'our' in formal compounds (本校 'this school,' 本市 'this city,' 'this shop') — it's the bureaucratic-style way to say 'the [unit] you are currently inside or in the catchment of.' Sounds detached and official; in conversation people just say 我们这个 'our district.'
