Overview The school offers a 6-year Integrated Programme from Secondary 1 to JC 2. The program will allow students to skip the GCE 'O' Levels and directly take the GCE 'A' Levels examination at the end of their six years in the school, thus allowing them much more time to embark on various educational endeavours that will greatly benefit them. An example would be the Hwa Chong Sabbatical Programme, which allows students to spend the 10th week of each term to join programmes which develop their interests, such as music composition as well as camps and fieldtrips abroad. School Song The Chinese school song retains that of The Chinese High School school song while the English version follows the English version of Hwa Chong Junior College school song. On Mondays, students and staff from the college section walk over to the terraces at the High School section for morning flag-raising ceremony and singing of instituition's anthem. Student-led Events Student Leaders Convention The Student Leaders Convention is a prestigious leadership convention organized annually in the school. The Tenth SLC drew more than 400 delegates from all over Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region. The highlight of the convention includes delegates roleplaying as global leaders to solve problems and concerns currently present in the word. The 11th SLC would be held from the 13th - 16th of June, 2005. Building and Upgrading Currently, the institution is building a new administration block, a Science and Technology Research Centre and a Student Activities and Leadership Training (SALT) Centre. The SALT centre will be ready by 2006 to house a moot parliament (mock up of the actual parliament to facilitate student debates and oral articulation), and the various CCA activities and Uniformed Groups (UG). Also, the new Science and Technology Research Centre will house new research facilities and specialist laboratories that include among others, a virtual reality cove (a theatre that facilitates the learning and teaching of virtual reality-related technology), and laboratories for chemical processing, fibre optics and biotechnology (with microbiological rooms). It will also house media art and 3-D animation studios, and an Art Elective centre that focuses on media art, digital videography, animation, digital audio, and traditional arts disciplines such as sculpture and drawing. Students' Council The Student Council has a centralized administration and is split into 2 sections, the Junior College council, into its 32nd elections, and the High School council, having just formed the 26th council and is currently in the process of electing its President and Deputy President. The President of the 31st Junior College Council is Ms Faith Perh, and the Deputy President is Ms Cherie Chan. The President of the 25th High School Council is Mr Gregory Leong, and the Deputy President is Mr Jack Huang. Administration The Principal (College Section) and CEO is Mr Ang Wee Hiong, while the Principal (High School Section) and Deputy CEO is Mr Hon Chiew Weng.
