On 9 Oct 2025, the Hwa Chong community came together to celebrate a significant milestone — Graduation Day for the Class of 2025. For our C2 students, it was a moment filled with joy, nostalgia, and gratitude as they marked the culmination of their two-year journey in the college.

Large auditorium packed with seated audience facing a stage with two big projection screens and a speaker at podium.

The day began with students gathering in their faculties for one final time, where they watched class montages capturing laughter-filled memories, shared inside jokes, and celebrated milestones that defined their Hwa Chong experience. Each C2 also received a graduation bear, a small but meaningful token symbolising the friendships, perseverance, and shared spirit that carried them through their time at HCI.

The Graduation Ceremony was graced by four distinguished Guests-of-Honour: Ms. Adeline Hong, Director (Transformation) at MSF; Mr. Chua Aik Boon, President of the HCJC Alumni; Mr. Ho Ren Hua, CEO of Thai Wah Group; and Mr. Koh Khai Yang, Executive Director, Operations Excellence, Keppel. Their presence inspired graduands toward purposeful excellence.

Graduation Day was not only about celebrating the students’ achievements, but also about recognising the teachers who had supported, mentored, and inspired them. In heartfelt moments across the college, CT representatives presented appreciation gifts to their civics tutors on behalf of their classes, which was a gesture that spoke volumes of the deep bonds formed between students and teachers over the past two years.

During Admin Day, Principal Mr Lee Peck Ping addressed the cohort with a speech themed “Infinite Paths, Infinite Potential.” He reminded students that success takes many forms and that each individual’s journey is unique. Drawing from inspiring examples within the graduating batch, Mr Lee reflected on the cohort’s resilience, camaraderie, and growth throughout their Hwa Chong years. To further motivate the graduands, he also shared a video of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, who spoke candidly about the value of resilience and how challenges often lay the foundation for future success.

To all our C2 graduands, congratulations on reaching this important milestone. As you prepare for your A Levels and the next chapter beyond, may you continue to pursue your passions boldly, stay true to your values, and forge your own paths with courage and purpose.

Here’s to the Class of 2025 — infinite paths, infinite potential.
