A short message from the 50th…

Just as the rising sun beckons a new dawn, we look forward to sunlit possibilities as we mark our Golden Jubilee milestone. Embarking on HCSC’s 50th year, we pledge to embody the school’s vision, to Live with Passion and Lead with Compassion, serving Hwa Chong and her charges with unwavering spirit and honour.

OUR COMMITTEES

The HCSC consists of the Executive Committee, the 5 Standing Committees (SC), and the 7 Working Committees (WC).

Headed by the Executive Committee (ExCo), the 5 SCs work together over their 2 Council Terms to best serve the students and their needs, in their differently unique aspects. The 5 SCs consist of: the Extended Council Attaché Committee (ECACo), the Publications and Publicity Committee (PubCo), the Student Engagement and Culture Committee (SECCo), the Social and Relations Committee (SnR), and the Welfare Committee (WelCo).

The 7 WCs serve to organise 7 Working Events, namely Teachers’ Day (TDCo), Mid-Autumn Festival (MAFCo), Senior Promenade (PromCo), Open House (OHCo), Orientation (O1Co), Chinese New Year (CNYCo) and Elections (EleCo). Each WC consists of its elected Chairperson, Secretary-Treasurer, ExCo Attaché, and members.

The ExCo consists of the Non-Standing Executive Committee (NSE) as well as the chairpersons of each Standing Committee, and the Presidents of the Extended Councils. Each NSE member is attached to one Standing Committee and each ExCo is attached to one Working Committee. The ExCo is responsible for steering the council direction, while pushing boundaries to lead the council to greater heights. On an individual level, ExCo is committed to supporting each and every councillor to pursue their passions, and partner them in their council journey ahead.
