National Education (Development) Award

A very good news to all Hua Yians! We have been awarded the National Education (Development) Award. This is a good indicator that our National Education effort has been well-received by Hua Yians. Let's continue to work together to achieve our desired goals. Together, we shall be ONE@Hua Yi

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.

Reflections @ NDPeeps

Do take a look at some of Hua Yians' reflections such as "What does the pledge mean to me?", "I am proud to be a Singaporean because..." and "My Dream for Singapore". The reflections are rather meaningful and poignant.
