To all Hwa Chongians,
A warm welcome back to school and to the C1s a very warm welcome to the Hwa Chong
family!
In this exciting year ahead, you can look forward to our flagship events; beyond Orientation, other key milestones in your Hwa Chong journey will include: Post-Orientation Party (POP), Faculty Events, Teachers’ Day, Mid-Autumn Festival (MAF) just to name a few! Along the way, you will pick up SODACHE (an abbreviation of “Song, Dance and Cheers”) — elements of school spirit conceived by generations of past seniors, but continue to live on through us in the present. They connect every batch of Hwa Chong students, from the College’s inception in 1974 to today. This is the Hwa Chong spirit we pride ourselves with.
While this year may be short, it will certainly be filled with fond memories. So don’t forget to be in the present, enjoy every laugh with a friend, internalise every new lesson learnt, treasure every opportunity and embrace every change. Seize the day! Meet new people; they will often surprise you. Face challenges head-on with the spirit of 自强不息 — one of tireless self-improvement and you may even surprise yourself with your own tenacity, innovation and passion. You will find kindred souls, discover your place and forge a second home for yourself here.
To C2s, this year will definitely be trying, but in hard times you will find strength in yourself and in the bonds you’ve formed. Remain steadfast in striving for your goals, and always remember that we are all travelling down the same path. Although this path will eventually diverge in our final year together, let us remember the days we sang, danced, cheered, laughed, and learnt together, for they are what makes us true HwaChongians. While we cherish the memories that we have made, let’s not forget to keep making new ones.
To the C1s, we once again warmly welcome you into our Hwa Chong family and we wish you all the best for the coming academic year! May Hwa Chong serve as your springboard to reach
greater heights, to live with passion and lead with compassion.

致所有的华中儿女：
开学好！热烈欢迎高二的同学们再次回到校园！我们也要特别欢迎高一的新生们加入华中这个大家庭！
在未来的一年多里，你们将体验在华中多姿多彩的高中生涯，包括学生理事会所举办的一系列大型活动——迎新后的舞会、育人学团的活动、教师节、中秋晚会等等！同时，你们也将学习SODACHE——结合歌（Song）、舞（Dance）、啦啦队口号（Cheer）三大元素的“华中精神”传承—— 自1974年创院以来，至今仍然凝聚着历届的校友。这就是我们引以为傲的“华中精神”。
虽然高中生涯短暂，但也充实愉快。好好活在当下吧——享受彼此同欢共乐的时光，内化知识，把握机遇，拥抱变化。莫负韶华！去结交新朋友吧，他们往往会带给你惊喜。去迎接每个挑战吧，你会讶异自己竟然如此“自强不息”——坚韧不拔、满怀热忱、创意无限。在这里，你将找到志同道合的伙伴，发现自己人生的所在，甚至找到自己第二个家。
高二的同学们，今年对我们而言无疑将是艰辛的一年，然而谨记“宝剑锋从磨砺出，梅花香自苦寒来”，我们必将愈战愈勇，互相扶持，友谊弥坚。让我们莫忘初心，继续朝着标杆，砥砺前行。“天下无不散的宴席”，纵然最终也将有分道扬镳的一天，我们也要珍藏这些日子里华中人一同欢歌笑语与寒窗苦读的点点滴滴，且共创更多隽永的瞬间、编织更多闪亮的回忆！
高一的新生们，我们再次热烈地欢迎你们加入华中大家庭！我们也祝你们学业有成！华中将助你们展翅高飞，实现更高远的志向。愿你我皆成为热爱生活、关爱别人，为社群谋福利的华中儿女！
