Hua Yi Secondary School held its annual Chinese New Year Celebration on the 8th of February in the school hall. Many exciting performances were lined up for the students. Hua Yi also invited the elderly residents from Silver Ace Elderly to participate in the celebration as well.
The Lion Dance performance opened the ceremony with a bang. The lion dancers were lively and their costumes were rich and vibrant. Next, the Guzheng Ensemble put up a riveting performance which had the audience spellbound by their technical skill.
The third performance was a special one that was prepared by the new teachers in Hua Yi. They put up a short skit and created a video about the legend of the twelve zodiac animals in the Chinese Calendar. Their performance was indeed well-received by the students!
Finally, there was a singing performance by Chinese students, followed by a Prize Presentation ceremony for the best decorated class for Chinese New Year. The celebration was then concluded with a parade of mini God of Fortunes - representatives from the lower Secondary Classes, led by the greatest God of Fortune in Hua Yi, Mr Leow Guan Sin.
This year's Chinese New Year Celebration was truly a sight to behold! We hope that everyone enjoyed themselves on that grand occasion.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Teachers' Day Celebrations 2012
Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Teachers’ Day celebrations were celebrated with lots of excitement at Hua Yi Secondary School last Friday, 31 August 2012.
The celebration started with guitar performance near the canteen with our very own talented teacher, Ms Liau Yanya and a few of our talented students singing a few Hari Raya songs. A display on Hari Raya was also put up with Hari Raya cookies for all students to try out.
The celebration continued in the school hall with the Hari Raya performance. Staff and students were entertained with variety of performances that impressed every one. On stage, students performed the Malay dance and sang Hari Raya songs. We could see students from different races modelled Hari Raya costumes and distributed Hari Raya goodies, ketupat weaved from ribbons with chocolates in it, to staff and students. Not forgetting the highlight of the celebration, the Dikir Barat performance. The performance ended with the grand finale of the Hari Raya performance when all performers came on stage to sing a Hari Raya song.
Teachers’ Day performance followed with a couple of dance acts and touching video of a teacher who taught lessons beyond the classroom. Heart-shaped cookies made by parents fom the Parents Support Group and students from Home Econs Club were presented to the teachers as tokens of appreciation for what they have contributed to the students. The student councillors presented the teachers with personalised sketch pads. Awards were awarded to teachers who won the most caring, most inspiring, most dynamic and well-dressed teachers.
Well done to the performers, staff and students who were involved in the celebrations for the great Hari Raya and Teachers’ Day performances.
Wishing all Muslims staff and students a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and to all teachers, Happy Teachers’ Day!

Racial Harmony Day 2012 : People, Places, Memories
Hua Yi Secondary School commemorated Racial Harmony Day with meaningful lessons, appetising display of traditional desserts and engaging traditional games.
The commemoration started a week before the Racial Harmony Day with presentations of Quote of the Week from Class 2E3 and 2E4. Class 2E3 presented on the topic ‘We must preserve racial and religious harmony.’ and class 2E4 presented on ‘Meet and Greet – The different cultures’ way.’
On 19 July 2012, all students had lessons during their CE periods on how to preserve racial harmony in Singapore with the Sec 1 classes focusing on enhancing their understanding why it is important to be sensitive to the beliefs of other races and religions and how they can play an active role in diffusing racial/religious tension and conflict. The Sec 2 classes were guided on understanding how to appreciate cultural diversity and to take personal action to foster racial harmony. Lesson for the Sec 3 classes focused on the issue of integration of foreigner/ new citizens in Singapore and understanding the importance of appreciating and understanding people of different nationalities, race and religion. The Sec 4 and 5 classes discussed how the nation can manage ethnic diversity by fostering national identity, safeguarding the interests of the minority groups and developing common space.
Prior to the lessons during recess, the Home Economics Club students, together with the ONE Advocates and Heritagers, set up booths to showcase some of the traditional desserts by the different races in Singapore. Visitors to the booths were informed on the way in which the desserts are made, and some of the ingredients from which they are made. The traditional desserts display was tied in with the Sec 2 Citizenship Education package for them to understand more about the cultures of the different races.
On 20 July 2012, the ONE Advocates led the morning assembly with a presentation on Racial Harmony Day and the Declaration of Racial Harmony Day. Everyone participated in pledging their support for racial harmony. Class 3N2 presented on the racial harmony theme: People. Places. Memories followed by presentation by class 3N1, which presented on ‘Is fasting unique to Muslims?’
During recess, the student councillors and ONE Advocates came together to present to the school four traditional games that were played during the kampong days. The games presented were five stones, capteh, hopscotch and Chinese chess.
The lessons and activities were planned in line with Racial Harmony theme “People, Places, Memories”, which seeks to bring together the future aspirations of our nation (People) and the recollections of our past moments of joy shared with our friends from all races (Memories). These 2 aspects are consolidated in defining Singapore as our “Home” and reflect our shared history and common destiny upon which our sense of identity as Singaporeans is built.

Youth Day Carnival 2012
Youth Day cum fundraising carnival was celebrated by Hua Yians on 7 July 2012 with high-spirit and excitement. Exciting games and activities, mouth-watering food and delightful beverages were lined up for all to enjoy. A fun-filled morning that brought Hua Yians, families and friends together to raise fund for charity and above all, the carnival promotes the spirits of togetherness and benevolence in Hua Yians.
Haunted House, Tribal War, Tug-of-War, Ring-O, shooting games and many others were enjoyed by all. Spreads of delicious food and beverages such as cotton-candy, popcorns, 'nasi lemak', bread with curry and a few flavoured drinks and popsicles were available to satisfy the tastebuds.
The highlight of the event was the Staff Community Involvement Programme. Each staff had to perform a few sets of exercises in exchange for goodie bags to be donated to selected residents in Ho Ching Road.
Congrats to Sec 2E3 for being the most creative booth, Sec 1E2 for the most popular booth and sec 3E1 for the most environmentally-friendly booth.

International Friendship Day 2011
The World at Home
International Friendship Day, a day dedicated to create awareness among us on Singapore’s relations with other countries. It aims to cultivate the spirit of friendship and togetherness in our students with other people in Singapore or from other countries. 
Prior to International Friendship Day 2011, a skit was presented by performers from Singapore Discovery Centre on 1 April 2011. The skit conveyed the International Friendship Day theme, which is “The World at Home”.
Singapore, a place we call home, a place where we live, work, play and a place where we have our family and friends with us. Have we ever wondered what is it like for someone from another country to live in Singapore? What is it like for Singaporeans who live in other country to work or study? What challenges do they face and how do they fit into the society where they live? All these were portrayed in the skit with the aim of getting the students to understand how it feels for someone from another country to live in Singapore and how it is for a Singaporean to live abroad.
To commemorate International Friendship Day, two classes presented the Quote of the Week. Sec 4N1 presented on "We must uphold meritocracy and incorruptibility" and 4N2 presented on "Graciousness".
Upholding meritocracy and incorruptibility is important, as it ensures success not only to ourselves but to the society and our country. With meritocracy each of us has equal opportunity to learn, work and excel in what we do. Singapore is able to maintain racial harmony as meritocracy is practised. With meritocracy, we can avoid incorruptibility, which has damaging effects on all aspects of our life.
Being gracious reflects your behaviour and attitude to others. To be gracious you can start with very small acts, such as greeting the teachers and your school mates OR picking up litters. Be conscious with what we do and say so as not to offend others. Do kind acts and say kind words to others and you will feel good and make others feel good too.
Happy International Friendship Day!

Total Defence Day
On 15 February 2007, the school commemorated Total Defence Day. Cadets from the Uniformed Groups namely the NCC, NPCC, Red Cross and Girl Guides participated in a simple but meaningful ceremony. Teacher officers as well as reservists teachers were also part of the contingents. It was really ONE@Hua Yi at its best!!!
