Welcome to a New School Year!
In high spirits, we embark on an exciting new school year. To all new students, a warm welcome to the Hwa Chong family. 2025 marks a new milestone for the school as we celebrate our 20th anniversary and we can certainly look forward to more adventures and opportunities for all in the school community.
I am delighted to share the exceptional results of our 2024 cohort of International Baccalaureate (IB) students. Our students have continued to perform brilliantly this year, earning a 99.5% IBDP pass rate and an impressive average score of 37.9 points. A notable 56.4% of the graduating class earned 38 points or higher, with as many as 44.2% surpassing the 40-point threshold. On top of that, 4 students stood out with a perfect IB score of 45 points. Such excellent results will definitely give them a strong advantage in qualifying for admissions into renowned and leading universities around the world. It is particularly heartening to have witnessed the growth and development of each of these students as they have made continuous progress in their academic performance irrespective of their starting point, further exemplifying HCIS’ core strength of value-add to student learning.
The remarkable achievements are a testament to the incredible dedication of both our students and teachers. It is truly inspiring to witness our students not only meet but surpass the rigorous standards of the IB program. This success is not solely a personal triumph but a result of the collective efforts of their families and our highly dedicated teaching staff. We shall continue to deliver on the School’s philosophy of Education for All, According to Each (有教无类 因材施教).
As we embark on another exciting year of learning, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the dedication and resilience shown by every member of our school community in the past year. Our ability to adapt, support each other, and persevere is a testament to the strength of our school.
This new school year brings renewed hope, opportunities for growth, and limitless possibilities. For our students, each day offers a chance to learn, grow, and build a strong foundation for the future. Embrace the diverse academic and co-curricular programs available. Seize every opportunity to challenge yourselves and strive to achieve more than just good grades; develop your passion and interests. With a growth mindset and strong character, you can make a positive impact on the world around you.
Parents, your partnership in the educational journey of your child is essential for their success and well-being. Your encouragement and support can create a consistent learning environment that further heightens the motivation for your child to learn. When you are involved in your child’s education, it can strengthen the parent-child bond, leading to increased communication, trust, and mutual respect between parents and children. A strong parent-school partnership can contribute to a positive school climate. We look forward to working collaboratively with you to ensure a well-rounded and fulfilling experience for each student.
With a united HCIS community, we eagerly embrace the new school year and the opportunities it presents. We are committed to supporting the holistic growth of every student and pursuing excellence in all that we do.
May this new year bring you blessings, joy, good health and success.
