From 4 to 27 Feb, our incoming C1 batch stepped into the place that they will call home for the next 2 years with an electrifying start during Orientation 2026!

Orientation kicked off with a warm welcome address by our Principal and an introduction to faculty. Students then explored the campus through a school tour before diving into icebreakers that helped everyone get to know one another. The energy continued with an exhilarating Amazing Race, followed by a series of Orientation Group, Civics Group games and war games that built camaraderie and kept spirits high. The celebrations culminated in the Peak-Orientation Party (POP), bringing everyone together for a memorable close to the orientation experience.

From our infectious SODACHE (Song, Dance, Cheer) culture, to our lively #4Facs1Hwach spirit, we are more than certain that our C1s have inherited the passion of Hwa Chongians that will burn brighter and brighter. We hope that Orientation 2026 has allowed all C1s to experience the true essence of the Hwa Chong Spirit, and we wish our C1s all the best in their new home!
