The authorization was granted by the school authorities or the doctor. Absence without excuse: – Absence of class without prior knowledge and approval of a teacher or school HCIBS is the boarding school of the institution where HCI`s international scientists are housed. It also hosts international academics who study at other local schools such as the Singapore Chinese School for Girls and Bukit Panjang Government High School. Local Singaporean students accommodated at the boarding school participate in HCI`s integrated boarding programme. The boarding complex was designed by architect Kenzo Tange,[30] consisting of seven six-storey rooms that can accommodate up to 1,000 students or guests. [31] The incident led to a backlash in which a group of former students, led by filmmaker Anthony Chen, sent a letter to school administrators expressing their disappointment. HCI defended its advice to students in a statement: “Our intention is not to silence students` voices or limit their interest in national issues. Instead, we encourage our students to actively participate in discussions and even debates on national issues in a safe environment. The school declined to comment when disciplinary action was taken against students who had raised concerns. [80] In addition, learning is often done using online computing resources such as wikis.
HCI recently developed its own online wiki platform called Hwa Chong Institution Wikispaces, which further supports collaborative learning and interaction for all HCI staff and students. [75] The school also organizes home-based learning periods each semester, typically lasting two to three days, during which students learn and learn at home via the Internet and their computers without having to return to school. Previously two separate but affiliated schools, The Chinese High School and Hwa Chong Junior College, HCI is the result of a merger on January 1, 2005. This change was consistent with the Ministry of Education`s introduction of PI, whereby students complete six years of “continuing” instruction and bypass traditional levels of GCED-O. Despite the merger, the secondary part remains reserved for boys, while the pre-university part is mixed. About 4,000 students are enrolled in the school, which has a student-teacher ratio of 13:1. On July 13, 2022, a school counselor at the school gave a lecture to 4 high school students with fake content that many considered homophobic. According to reports, among the content shown to students was “What are LBGTs so proud of?”, followed by a list: “58% of homosexuals have intestinal worm problems”, “23% of children of lesbian parents have been sexually abused”, “78% of homosexuals have sexually transmitted diseases” and “1 in 15 homosexuals are pedophiles”. [81] Photos of the presentation quickly went viral and were reported by local press and human rights groups in Singapore. 1.5 Students who wish to leave school before the end of the program period must obtain permission from their teacher or school staff.
They must complete an off-campus pass, which is available at the high school reception. Other sports that have achieved significant results over the years include basketball, canoeing, volleyball, water polo and wushu teams. The school`s basketball team won championships in the Boys and Girls A Divisions in 2010. [59] The same was achieved for the volleyball team, which won the championships in both A divisions (boys and girls). [60] Nine HCI students were selected to represent Singapore at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games, including two from the basketball team that won the championship. [61] In 2008, the Centre for Scholastic Education (CSE) was established to accommodate all special high school programs, with the exception of the optional art program and the Malaysian special program. These are the Bicultural Studies Program, the Humanities Program, and the Science and Math Talent Program. It was also home to the defunct entrepreneurship program.
ECS is also used as an umbrella term to describe specialized academic programmes in upper secondary education. [38] HCI also organizes academic competitions and conferences, both for its students and for external participants. The school organizes the Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools (APMOPS) and the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools (SMOPS). At the same time, the International Forum of Young Scientists (ISYF)[33] is hosted at HCI and co-organized by Nanyang Technological University, which brings together students from across the Asia-Pacific region to network and exchange, with Nobel laureates coming to share their experiences in the scientific field. a record five Nobel laureates were involved in 2010. [33] Organizations such as Pinkdot condemned the embassy and Hwa Chong`s response to the incident, stating, “To attribute this to the actions of a rogue consellor ignores the systemic problems of inadequate sex education and the fact that Singapore`s schools have repeatedly shirked responsibility on sexuality issues.” In the same year, the school hosted the centenary musical at the Cultural Centre of the National University of Singapore.[82] The musical had 537 participants and was attended by former student Sim Ann, Minister of State at the Ministry of Communications and Information. Tan Wee-Hsin of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra was the conductor, while Yang Wenzhong was the conductor of the orchestra, made up of HCI students.

First-year students went through many team-building games and cheers. HCI and its predecessors, Chinese High School and Hwa Chong Junior College, have a large alumni base that spans various sectors and industries in Singapore and other countries. Its most famous alumnus is probably Ong Teng Cheong, the fifth president of Singapore, who graduated from Chinese high school in 1955. Other prominent alumni include politicians such as Grace Fu, Ng Chee Meng, Lee Yi Shyan, Sim Ann and Sam Tan, as well as high-ranking politicians of the Singapore Armed Forces such as Ng Yat Chung, Ng Chee Khern, Hoo Cher Mou, Ng Chee Peng, Goh Si Hou and Kelvin Khong. HCI`s most notable graduates in economics and finance include Shou Zi Chew, CEO of TikTok, Olivia Lum, founder of Hyflux, Tan Chin Hwee, CEO of Trafigura Asia, Toh Soon Huat, founder of Novena Holdings, and Wee Cho Yaw, chairman of United Overseas Bank. In art and media, there are also notable HCI alumni such as Straits Times editor Warren Fernandez, musicians Liang Wern Fook and Eric Moo, and artist Tan Swie Hian. Pang Choon How, the current principal of HCI, is also an alumnus of the school. Yang Hong-seok of South Korea`s PENTAGON Group was also a student at Hwa Chong International School. Hwa Chong Institution (Template:Zh) (HCI) is an independent school in Singapore for students aged 12 to 18, covering both secondary and pre-university education.
As a school of the future designated by the Ministry of Education, it operates under the Special Support Plan (SAP) for bilingualism and offers the Integrated Program (IP) as well as the School Gifted Education Program (ASPBS) after the completion of the Gifted Education Program in secondary schools. Bukit Timah`s main campus includes Template:Convert, which is shared between Hwa Chong Institution, Hwa Chong International School, the institution`s boarding school, and SIM University`s Bukit Timah campus. The campus is significantly larger than most schools in Singapore and the region. Hwa Chong Institution (HCI) is an independent secondary school located in Bukit Timah, Singapore. Established by the merger of Chinese High School (1919-2004) and Hwa Chong Junior College (1974-2005) in 2005, it provides secondary education for boys only in grades 1 to 4 and pre-university education for boys and girls in grades 5 and 6.
