28th January marked the day of Hwa Chong Institution’s annual Chinese New Year celebration. Students donning traditional clothing, from both high school and college sections, dotted the High School terraces as they gathered for a special morning assembly to celebrate the occasion.
Kicking off the day’s celebrations was a vibrant dragon dance showcase, symbolising good luck and prosperity for the year ahead. Principal Mr Lee Peck Ping addressed the students on the significance of unity and cultural appreciation while extending his heartfelt blessings for a joyful and prosperous 2025 for all.
The rest of the celebration took place in the hall, where J2 students attended a lively Chinese New Year celebration organised by the Hwa Chong Students Council. The event featured a variety of performances; a stunning ensemble by MAD Chinese , a rendition of classic CNY tunes by the Chinese orchestra, a song written and composed by our in-house songwriters from WeYoung, the enthralling Wushu showcase and a lighthearted song and dance act by the Student Engagement and Culture Committee (SECCo).
Of course, the celebration would not be the same without a few exciting game shows and a visit by Cai Shen (God of Wealth). The celebration concluded with a dragon dance performance by the Parents Support Group and gifts presented to the principals. The memories of this joyous occasion were captured in a mass photo taken after the celebration.
The 2025 Chinese New Year celebration at Hwa Chong Institution went down as a commemoration of tradition and community, and a celebration of many more fruitful years for the school and its affiliates.
