ABOUT US
About the College
Established in 1974, Hwa Chong Junior College (HCJC) is the second government-aided junior college to be set up in Singapore.
Since the 1980s, the college has enjoyed a distinguished track record in academia, sports, music, culture and the arts, with many graduates making important contributions to Singapore's private and government sectors. In 2004, HCJC became the first junior college in Singapore to turn independent. Reminisce the past with the college anthem (school song) of former HCJC.
With the merger in 2005, The Hwa Chong Junior College now forms the College Section of Hwa Chong Institution.
About the Alumni
The HCJC Alumni was founded to foster friendships and maintain robust ties among our graduate students. Through the years, the Hwa Chong tradition we have cultivated, and the different circumstances we overcame together, have helped us grow closer and more cohesive.
Besides supporting the college and student activities, we also support Hwa Chong students who require financial assistance. We believe every student should be given the opportunity to realise their full potential, and have been proactive in organising fundraising events in aid of the HCJC Alumni Bursary Fund.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the Alumni are:
-
To promote, foster and maintain friendship and goodwill among past Collegians;
-
To initiate and/or support, by pecuniary or other means, any project which the Alumni deems deserving for its members, the College or the community;
-
To promote social, cultural, educational and recreational activities.
Welcome message
It gives us great pleasure, as the 35th Exco of the HCJC Alumni, to serve our fellow alumni by fostering and maintaining friendships and goodwill among them.
Our beloved Hwa Chong Junior College was rich in history, tradition and culture. Although she no longer retains her name and is now part of Hwa Chong Institution, we would still like to uphold its tradition and values that many of us hold dearly.
Our collective achievements in various fields are a testament to the quality of education we received and the values instilled in us. It is this shared experience that unites us all, and I am delighted that we can continue to engage with one another and with our institution in many meaningful ways.
As we embark on this journey together, I encourage all of you to network with your fellow alumni, and stay connected with your alma mater. Let us come together to reminisce about the good old days; celebrate our fellow alumni' achievements and contributions as well as encourage one another through difficult times!
饮水思源. The 35th Exco will continue to be guided by this principle and fly the flag of HCJC Alumni high, remain active and relevant to both the alumni members and students alike.
On behalf of the 35th Exco, I wish you the very best and look forward to seeing and connecting with you at our upcoming events and activities in the years to come!

华初校友会书画研究会
1988年当华初搬迁至武吉巴督临时校舍时，一些书画研究会的前会员与华初校友，每个星期天下午，都会回到学校练习书画。自然而然，就促使我们要成立一个正式的校友团体。经吕振端老师及校友们的筹备下，华初校友会书画研究会在8月14日正式成立。
自1989年起，书画校友会连续三年都与校方联办展览，为建校基金筹款。到了1992年初，在与吕老师讨论后，我们决定自办书画展，以筹集活动经费。通过吕老师的引介，我会与华中校友会洽谈联办“华中华初校友美展”的可行性。大家对联展深感兴趣，既可为两校友会筹集活动经费，又可促进两校校友间的交流。于是，“华中华初校友美展”顺利在1992年8月29日至9月6日举办，共展出七十五位师长及校友的一百卅余件作品。此举开创两校友会联办活动之先河，意义重大！
除了书画展，书画校友会自成立以来还主办过五届全国中学现场书法比赛。我们每年也举办挥春、新年团拜、中秋节庆祝会等活动，联络校友与学院师生的感情。
1994年后，因为主干团员逐步踏入社会，开始为各自的事业及家庭忙碌，以致活跃会员日渐减少，书画练习活动也逐渐沉寂下来，直到1997年左右才完全停止。2010年农历新年，校友们循例到吕老师家团拜时，复办书画活动的提议在当时获得大家的支持。加上华初校友会的帮忙与校方的同意，我们再度展开了搁置十余年的校友书画活动。自恢复例常练习以来，吕老师就一直鼓励我们举办书画展，借此目标激励大家努力学习，促进与书画界的艺术交流，以提高书画水平。
2013年，我们在中华总商会举办复会后的第一个展览——“黄城墨韵”书画展，展出廿六位校友和在籍学生的五十余件作品。此展净收入所得悉数捐献华初校友会助学基金。
2014年，为庆祝华初建校四十周年，我会在中华总商会举办“黄城四十 。翰墨因缘”书画展，共展出三十余位师长、校友和在籍学生的五十多件作品。
2015年和2017年，我会在陈笃生医院一楼中庭举办了第二届与第三届的“翰墨因缘”书画美展。这两次美展的部分所得，均捐赠予陈笃生医院的社区慈善基金。
2018年是我会创立三十周年，我们在百胜楼艺展社举办“黄城墨韵—华初校友会书画研究会三十周年书画展”以兹庆祝。此展展出师长、校友和在籍学生共六十余件作品。
华初校友会书画研究会自创会以来，为爱好中国书画的华初、华中（高中部）的校友们提供了一个亲近艺术的天地，让校友们沉浸在书画的优美境界中。有兴趣参与我们的例常练习和活动的校友们，欢迎联络我们：
2018年 “黄城墨韵 -- 华初校友会书画研究会30周年书画展”
2019年 “华中百年校庆万人宴”
Hwa Chong Overseas Support Group (UK)

The Hwa Chong Overseas Support Group (United Kingdom) comprises alumni members of Hwa Chong Institution who reside in the United Kingdom. It aims to help alumni members establish and maintain contact with one another, as well as stay connected to the school and Singaporean community. We also hope that in doing so, we will be able to connect alumni members with opportunities offered back home in Singapore, even while they are overseas.
We achieve the aforementioned objectives by organising various events for the Hwa Chong alumni. Examples include pre-departure induction programmes for alumni heading for studies in the UK, get-togethers in the UK, career- and study-related events.
Our main events include the freshers induction in Hwa Chong, a Chinese New Year festival in late Jan/early Feb, and finally culminating in our biggest and final event of the year, Hwa Chong Night.
The HCOSG 20/21 committee comprises:
President - Priscilla Yip
Vice President - Huang Lezhi
Secretary - Sean Lee
Treasurer- Emily Tan
Events Director - Josiah Tan and Too Tat Rui
Sponsorship and Liaison Director - Keefe Ng
Publicity Director - Amy Luo
