刘宣麟 (中三启元三班 3O3, 2026) 前言 在现代社会中，青年早已不只是社会发展的“旁观者”，而是推动社会进步的重要力量。由我校品德与公民教育理事会（Values In Action Council，简称 VIAC）举办的社区行动大会（Community Action Convention, 简称 CAC），正是一个让青年了解社会、参与社会，并尝试解决社会问题的平台。今年的 CAC 吸引了来自新加坡多所中学的一百多名学生，以及我校多个专题作业团队参与。通过项目展览、义工活动、 社会议题讨论及嘉宾分享，活动不仅让学生们进一步认识社会问题，也让他们学会如何以行动回应社会需求。 这场活动不仅仅是一场普通的论坛，更像是一堂真正走出课堂的 “社会实践课”。来自不同学校的学生聚集在一起，在交流与合作中激发创意，也让更多青年意识到，社会改变其实离自己并不遥远。 图一：全体人员参与大合照 展示青年项目，传递社会关怀 活动现场设有多个社会项目展区，由不同学校的专题作业团队及青年组织进行介绍与展示。其中 包括关注流浪动物与宠物福利的 Project..

孙梓航 (中一聚英一班 1i1, 2026) 在参加这五天的空手道训练营之前，我其实非常担心。因为是第一次接触空手道，我害怕训练会很辛苦，也担心教练会十分严厉。没想到，五天下来，我才发现自己完全想多了。这个训练营不但一点也不枯燥，反而让我觉得既有趣、又放松，还特别酷！ 首先，训练过程真的非常有趣，一点也不无聊。我们的教练十分亲切，就像邻家大哥哥一样，总是笑容满面，很容易相处。他不会一开始就要求我们完成高难度动作，而是把训练设计成各种好玩的小游戏，让我们在轻松的气氛中学习。 其中有一次，教练让我们两人一组，进行类似猜拳的反应训练。一个人负责进攻，另一个人负责防守。防守的人必须集中精神，判断对方什么时候会突然出拳；一旦对方出手，就要立刻挡下攻击，并迅速反击。大家常常因为判断失误，或者动作慢了半拍，而变得手忙脚乱。看到彼此慌张又滑稽的样子，全场顿时笑成一片，气氛特别欢乐。每天的训练都在笑声中结束，让人觉得时间过得飞快，不知不觉就到了放学时间。 最让我开心的是，这个训练营真的让我彻底放松了下来。刚升上中一时，我还不太适应新的学习环境，再加上各种测验和功课

郭宇航 （中一启元二班 1O2, 2026） 刘子墨 （中一聚英一班 1i1，2026） 5月14日，我校和新加坡癌症基金会开展以“携手同行”为主题的公益剃发活动，号召同学们用行动与罹患癌症的儿童共情，让关怀与善意洒满人间。本次活动不仅以直观的方式普及公益理念，也通过爱心募捐的形式，为患病孩童送去切实的帮助与希望。 在我们的生活中，大多数青少年沐浴在阳光与健康之中，无忧无虑地成长、学习。但有一群特殊的孩子，他们本该拥有烂漫的童年，却被癌症的病痛束缚住了身体。漫长的化疗过程，让他们被迫剃去头发，承受着病痛的折磨与外貌变化带来的自卑与敏感，在最好的青春年华与病魔抗争。为了让更多人看见这群患病儿童的困境，减少大众对癌症患者的疏离，同时为他们筹集治疗与生活援助资金，新加坡癌症基金会连续多年走进我校，与我们联办公益剃发活动。 倡议发出后，我校百余师生踊跃参与剃发。平日里爱惜秀发的同学们，毅然选择放下对外貌的顾虑，参与公益剃发活动。不少同学全程坦然从容，眼神坚定，用最纯粹的行动告诉所有癌症患病儿童：你们从不孤单，我

Written by: Jairus Ong Qi Le (2A1, 2026) This year, I joined the 棋海迷踪：中国象棋（晋级）拓展课程 (Chinese Chess) sabbatical. In this sabbatical, we first learnt the movements of each chess piece before progressing to more challenging concepts such as opening moves and mid-game tactics. In the final few days, we were also introduced to checkmate strategies, using different pieces to trap the other player’s “king” piece. In addition, we learnt new gameplay methods, such as “uncovering chess”

Written by: Han Peng (1P3, 2026) I was uncertain whether I had made the right choice. Tap! Nothing could be changed now. I had already clicked the submit button and locked Handball in as my first choice. In the days leading up to the release of our sabbatical results, I was excited to find out what I would get. I was hoping for Handball. It was by far one of my favourite sports to play during P.E., along with Basketball. I loved its competitiveness and fast-paced nature, some

I disagree -- on the contrary, the Francophone community in Singapore is more than meets the eye: it is vibrant and growing, numbering over 20,000 today, with the International French School (IFS) Singapore being one of its important hubs.

黄胜杰（中二启元一班 2O1, 2026） 在第二学段如约而至的春光里，华侨中学的校园比往常多了一份喧嚣与活力。从第一周至第四周，我们的校门常开，每周都迎来了一群特殊的朋友——来自新加坡各个中学的交流生。这不仅是一次简单的“换个教室上课”，而是一场深度的文化浸濡与情感碰撞。在为期五天的时光里，交换生与华中伙伴并肩而行。从早晨的朗朗书声到傍晚课外活动的汗水，他们不再是旁观者，而是真正融入了华中，共同书写了一段跨越校际的青春序曲。 周一早晨，校园里的空气似乎带着几分“社交距离感”。由于彼此还不熟悉，交换生与华中伙伴之间弥漫着一种微妙的尴尬。大家都是客气地维持着礼貌的微笑，或是面面相觑却找不到话题。最常见的对话莫过于简单地询问：“下一堂课是什么？”“食堂哪样菜好吃？”在那个时刻，时间仿佛开启了慢镜头，不少人心里或许都暗自忖度：这五天该如何“熬”过去？ 然而，转机总是在不经意间发生。 到了周二、周三，随着共同经历的课堂讨论越来越多，那些坚固的“冰”开始消融。大家惊讶地发现，虽然来自不同学校，但对未来有着相似的憧憬，对游戏、动漫或流行音乐有着共同的兴趣。交

贾博岩（中一汇聚三班 1A3, 2026） 3月26日，学校为我们安排了一次别具意义的义工活动——前往金文泰一带的组屋，向居民宣传节约用水与用电的重要性。这不仅是一项任务，更是一堂走出课堂、贴近社会的“真实课程”。 近年来，气候变化问题日益严峻。炎热的天气仿佛成为日常，烈日炙烤着大地，也无形中提醒着人类对环境的影响。每天放学回家的路上，我都要在阳光下步行，常常汗流浃背。这样的体验让我更加直观地感受到全球变暖带来的变化。而与此同时，地球上的可饮用淡水资源却少得惊人——不到百分之一。若人类继续无节制地消耗这些资源，未来或许真的会面临“用尽”的危机。 正因如此，我们这次义工活动的意义显得尤为重要。我们希望通过面对面的交流，让更多人意识到节约资源的重要，从而为环境保护尽一份微薄之力。 然而，现实并不如想象中顺利。活动一开始，我们一户户地敲门，却迟迟无人应答。偶尔有人开门，也多是家中的女佣。根据老师的指示，我们不能向她们进行分享，只能礼貌道谢后离开。时间一点点过去，我们的信心也逐渐被消磨。反复的失败让人不禁怀疑：真的会有人愿意停下来听我们说话吗？...
