National Day Celebrations

This year, we had a brief but meaningful National Day Observance Ceremony. A unique feature this year was the reading of the National Day Message in all four languages. Our teachers such as Mrs Dalina-Firdouse, Mdm Tan Geok Hoon, Mrs Gowtum read in Malay, Chinese and Tamil while Mrs Leong, our Principal summed up the messages in English. There were also interesting performances including a Poetry Slam by the ELLDS team, who won 2nd place in the National Poetry Slam competition and singing of national songs by the school choir. As always, the Uniformed Groups turned up smartly and participated in the Recollections segment filled with pride.

Racial Harmony - Who is Your Neighbour?

In conjunction with the Racial Harmony Day, the Mother Tongue Department collaborated with the NE Committee to encourage Hua Yians to share about their neighbours. The students were wrote about their neighbours in their Mother Tongue Language as well as in English. The following are excerpts of the students' contributions.

Getting the teachers INVOLVED.

Its nice to see all the students working hard. =D

The students were asked to do quizzes to help respective houses to earn points.

You may do more than once , and the more correct answers , the more points you will help your houses to get.

It also acts as a platform for them to get points into the score system. Besides the usual track and field events.

During our school's Sports Day , boards and banners were put up and students have to search the answers themselves.

Successful ones were submitted , of course

The response was good for just our first time executing it.

Night Cycling

On 14 March 2009, the Youth Wing, PSG, Teachers, staff and Hua Yians went on a night cycling adventure from East Coast to Hua Yi Secondary School. Along the way, they stopped at landmarks like the Indoor Stadium, the Singapore Flyer, the World War 1 Memorial and Marina Barrage. It was really a show of solidarity and dedication by all participants and supporters.

This is what an Alumni, Mohammad Noh wrote of the event:
One year ago,We came up with something that no one had thought before, no school has done before..Even we thought that it would not be successful..But the passion in our hearts are hungry for it..The mass night cycling was born..It was called Operation Nacht Wraith.That year, We led an army of 100 soldiers to conquer the streets of Singapore from Changi Village to Hua Yi Secondary School..It would not be successful without the help of Alumni, PSG, Teachers and Staff..And history was made. This year,We did it again..With an army much stronger, ready for the war..We raised our swords and charged our horses through the fields..This time it was from East Coast Park To Hua Yi Secondary School..The road was not easy but it did not stop us neither it dampened the spirit of our army..The rovers whom I called 'Autobots' (from the movie, Transformers), looked like they can transformed into giant robots and stop the traffic..They were our Guardians for that night.. Everyone made it safely to the gates of our base..And there were smiles on everyone's faces and sense of achievement despite the fatique we were suffering from..Another history was made. Till today, the pride is still burning in our hearts. I would also like to thank everyone who helped in making this event successful.(PSG, Hua Yi Youth Wing Alumni, Teachers and Staff) I hope that Mass Night Cycling will be a tradition for Hua Yi Secondary School and be organised every year. Its all about Passion and Dedication and always remember that Nothing is Impossible.

1st Quote of the Week 2009

This year 4E1 kicked off the Quote of the Week for 2009. This programme is a collaboration between the NE Committee and the English Department.

The topic presented was on the NE Message 6 - "We have confidence in our future. United, determined and well-prepared, we have what it takes to build a bright future for ourselves, and to progress together as one nation."

Among others, the class representatives spoke about what the school did to prepare the students in times of crisis such as the In-Place Protection Exercise, Fire Drill Exercises and the daily temperature taking. They also cited some quotes such as:

from Dr Ng Eng Hen :
… we must face the future with confidence - determined to remain united, not just to survive, but to overcome challenges, thrive and prosper.

While we are a small country, we are a strong society because we stand united, as one people, ready to defend our country and to work together for the common good.

from C . S Lewis saying :

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

1st NRIC Presentation Ceremony 2009

Today, 19 Jan 2009, we had our 1st NRIC Presentation Ceremony for the year. After the ceremony, the NRIC recipients shared their views on the significance of receiving the NRICs.

Lee Hong Wei (4E4) said,"Receiving my NRIC means that I have more responsibility as a Singaporean." Hasif Irfan (4N2) felt that having received his NRIC meant that ,"I should be loyal to my country and follow the rules of the authority." To Sharvin (4E2) it meant that, "I am officially a Singaporean."

Nicole (4N1) added that, "as a citizen, I will sing the national anthem, say the pledge and make my country proud." Wong Yoo Yi (4E2) also mentioned that she, "will fulfill my part as a Singaporean."

We hope that more Huayians will share their thoughts on the significance of the NRIC Presentation Ceremony here.
