Hey Hwa Chong!
A very warm welcome back to school and to the C1s, welcome to the Hwa Chong family!
To our new C1s, 2026 marks the beginning of a new chapter of your life. As you step into this new school environment and meet new people, you might be feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. But rest assured, that over the course of Orientation and your journey in Hwa Chong, you will begin to find your footing and discover your community. It will not be long before Hwa Chong becomes your home away from home!
In this exciting year ahead, you can look forward to our flagship events planned by students, for students. These include the Peak-Orientation Party (POP), Teachers’ Day and Mid-Autumn Festival just to name a few! Beyond the events, you will also be part of one of the 4 Faculties; Apollo, Ares, Artemis and Athena. Together, the 4 Faculties act as an additional pillar of support, further strengthening our sense of belonging and connection to the school, through what is more affectionately known as 4Facs1Hwach. You will also pick up SODACHE, an abbreviation for Song, Dance and Cheers. These traditions are core elements of our school culture, passed down by generations of seniors, and continue to live on today as a unifying force.
To the C2s, as you step into your final year in Hwa Chong, take this time to cherish your friends and the memories that have shaped your journey thus far. The months ahead will be packed with preparations for your A-Levels. While this journey may be intense, remember that you do not walk this path alone. Lean on your friends, teachers, and family for support, and continue to find joy and meaning in both the little moments and the big milestones together.
As we embark on the year ahead, may we continue to nurture a community of respect and care for one another. May we continue to live with passion and lead with compassion! Wishing you every success in the year ahead!
