Hwa Chong Senior Promenade 2012: A Recap
January 1st, 2013 by Prom CommitteeHi Seniors!
Happy New Year! Looking back at 2012, there are so many special memories we will never forget, and for many of us, Prom night is definitely one of them.
The theme for our prom was Serendipity, which also means a happy accident. Out of the 7 billion people out there and the countless possibilities, fate has brought us together with our friends, our classmates and our teachers. These little unplanned encounters have impacted our lives and helped us through our ups and downs in these short but fulfilling two years. And I guess we can call that, Serendipity.
This exciting night at Swissotel the Stamford would probably be one of the last few times seniors can get together as a class, as school mates and as a batch. There were cameras flashing everywhere with gorgeous ladies in their pretty dresses and dashing gentlemen in their stunning suits – all ready to have a great time!
At the foyer, seniors enjoyed the free flow of cocktails and our photo booth with instant photo printing available!
At the photo booth:
Teachers were having lots of fun too!
Single stalk roses and bouquets were selling out fast at our Flower Booth.
Meanwhile, in the Fairmont ballroom…
Seniors getting ready for the dinner to commence!
Enjoying dinner together as a class
The night started out with a welcome address by our 38th Students’ Council Presidents, Shi Yan and Kay Hian.

Following that, we prepared many exciting performances for our seniors while they enjoyed their dinner and photo taking.

39th Students’ Council Song I/Cs Aloysius and Joy dedicating college songs to the seniors

38th Students’ Council Song I/Cs Nathanael and Debbie presented a heartfelt performance
Apart from all the wonderful performances that night, there were fun and entertaining games lined up for our title nominees as they fight for their titles!
Who’s most likely to win a Nobel Peace Prize? See how many marshmallows you can stuff and say the word ‘World Peace’!
Who’s most likely to be President? Run for the chicken and answer the questions!
Next were the Campus Sweethearts! To test their chemistry with each other, we played the games ‘Taboo’ and ‘catch the ping pong’, a game adapted from the game show, A Minute to win it.
Here are our most photogenic nominees! To gauge their abilities, they each had to pose with a wacky item ^^
Next up, we have our nominees for Prom king and queen! They were each given a chance to do a pose and answer a question.
As a thank-you gesture to all title nominees for participating in our games, everyone walked away with attractive prizes that night!
This has indeed been an amazing and unforgettable night! We hope this senior promenade has been a highlight to the end of your JC life, and it has truly been an honor for us to organise it 
As Prom drew to a close, your College life may have ended, but remember, Hwa Chong will always be here for you! To our dearest seniors, we wish you all the best for your future endeavors!
Love,
Promco’ 12
The 39th Students’ Council

A Night to Remember – Mid Autumn Festival 2012
September 20th, 2012 by IT DirectorHi Hwa Chong!
Last Sunday, Hwa Chong celebrated Mid Autumn Festival in our very own campus with great fanfare. A night filled with fun, laughter and excitement, the celebrations saw thousands of students, alumni, staff and their family members gather under the festive lanterns and spectacular centrepiece as one big Hwa Chong family – such warmth and homeliness brings out the spirit of Hwa Chong’s MAF celebrations, fully encapsulated in this year’s MAF theme 月满黄城.
MAF
Citygate
黄城，一座盛大，具有古典美的城市！
This was beautifully represented by the Citygate, which formed the majestic backdrop of the stage in the Central Plaza. Against it, a whole array of impressive performances was displayed – these included fist-pumping song sessions from HC Jam, our batchmates Joyce and Sheng Chun, as well as Claire and Earl; talent showcases by Chia Wei (together with her sister), Lion Dance, Chinese Orchestra, Chinese Dance, the Chinese Society, NYGH Wushu and HCJC Wushu; and not to forget, one of the highlights of the day, a mini concert by local pop duo 插班生 (The Freshmen)! These performances ended off with a dance item put up by the 39th Student’s Council, followed by a MAF Video prepared by Sensorium Vale.

The night’s performances ended with the spectacular Grand Light-Up that certainly awed the 3000-strong crowd on the day! This year’s Grand Light-Up featured an introduction of 4 mythical characters associated with the festival, aided by the spectacular designs on the Centrepiece, a dazzling display of lights from the lanterns in the sky, a blazing mooncake-shaped fireball and the shimmering lights on the fountain.
Exquisitely designed centrepiece with 4 panes, each displaying a mythical character in Mid Autumn Festival folklore.
Lanterns casting a warm hue over the central plaza.
The’黄城’ lanterns, a complex design formed out of 8 lanterns, evoked a warm and homely feeling.

Fountain with walking platform and wishing well
Well, what fun would the night be if it didn’t end with Hwa Chong’s favourite SODACHE? Led by our SODACHE I/Cs (with a terrific introduction), students from both past and present came together to sing, dance and cheer their hearts out!
Song
Dance
Cheer
Last but not least, thank you seniors for taking time off your busy schedules to support our event!
We hope you enjoyed MAF 2012, and we guarantee that MAF 2013 will be equally exciting! Meanwhile, look forward to other events that are in the works

We are sure that you have been waiting excitedly for news regarding the prom magazine!

The pages are free for all C2 classes! We hope that you will have great fun designing your class pages, but here are some guidelines to follow before you start!
Dimensions & Format:
