Principal's Message
Welcome to Hwa Chong Institution’s 2023 College Open House website!
For those of you who have completed your secondary education, let me congratulate you on reaching a significant milestone in your educational journey.
As learning is a life-long endeavour, I am sure all of you must be eager to find out what is in store for you as you consider your choices for the next stage of your education.
At Hwa Chong, we pride ourselves for being a school with a rich heritage and a vibrant school culture that embraces all. Indeed, Hwa Chongians work hard and play hard. This is a place where a strong family bond is cherished and you will find friendship that lasts a lifetime. On the Open House website, you will find useful information about the diverse course offerings, CCAs and programmes offered at Hwa Chong and the exciting college life that awaits you, when you join us as a Hwa Chongian.
At our physical open house, you can meet up with myself and other members of the Hwa Chong family. We have lined up for you the Principal’s welcome address, special programmes talk, and academic as well as CCA booths, where you can have your curiosity ignited and queries answered. I also encourage you to sign up for the campus tours and the Senior-Junior Tea Sessions where you can interact with current Hwa Chong students and chat with them about the school, or about college life in general.
Hope to see you at our physical open house soon!
Mr Pang Choon HowPrincipal, Hwa Chong Institution
Welcome!
Congratulations to all the IP, JAE, and DSA students for having completed a major milestone in your life! So, what’s in store for you next?
Understandably, some of you may have concerns about how you should chart your path. Having graduated from your secondary school not too long ago, choosing the next school that is the right fit for you and finding a community that you feel an attachment to is a crucial process. However, fret not! All of us here at Hwa Chong have been in the same position as you before. As you take the next few days to mull over your decision, allow us to introduce the school we know and love to you.
For us, Hwa Chong has become our home away from home. We walked into campus on our first day of school, all intimidated by an unfamiliar environment - however, our feelings of anxiety and uncertainty were dispelled by the staff and tutors who welcomed us with open arms. We are thankful for the multitude of enriching opportunities we have had and the unbreakable bonds we have forged here, and thus we can’t wait to share with you our Hwa Chong experience!
In January 2023, we warmly welcome all interested students and parents to join us in exploring the vast Hwa Chong campus and for an unforgettable day of fun! In addition, the Open House website also contains important information about life in Hwa Chong as well.
As your secondary school journey comes to a close, we hope that you are ready to venture into the next chapter of your life with us. Let Hwa Chong illuminate the spark and passion within you. We look forward to seeing you at Hwa Chong’s Open House in January 2023!
