Currently, the aims for MAD are simple: to foster a group of dancers who are knowledgeable about every genre of dance, as well as to bring every dancer closer together so that we forge strong relationships with one another. As MAD continues to grow bigger in size, we strive to improve our standards and at the same time, creating opportunities for dancers from different genres to get to know one another better and thus appreciate other genres of dance as well.

Season Preview: Bowling
March 23rd, 2009 by CCA PRO
Bowling has never been a niche area for Hwa Chong, with the likes of ACJC and RJC dominating the scene. But 2009 looks set to be a turning point. With a change in coach and promising players joining the team, the bowling team hopes to shake off the disappointment from last year and achieve new heights this year.
Training has been modified into a more rigorous multi-faceted programme, which hones physical technique, mental attrition and strategic planning skills. Many of our players put in extra effort as well, taking part in inter-club leagues and nation-wide championships to gain competition exposure, and bowling in their free time to cement newly acquired techniques.
During the year-end holidays, friendly matches with other junior colleges ended unfavourably, but this only serves to fuel the desire to make good in this year’s A Division Championships. Moreover, the team has improved greatly ever since the new coach took his place. The team is confident that with sustained effort, as well as effective guidance from the coach, this year, there will be cause for celebration.

Season Preview: Volleyball (with video!)
March 23rd, 2009 by CCA PRO
Boasting a team consisting of two national youth team players, the male volleyball team looks set to dominate the volleyball arena this coming season. With the team falling short of their targets in the 2008 season, the hunger and desire for success is growing within its team members who seek to win that elusive championship.
The team has been enduring gruelling trainings and friendly matches in preparation for the season. And the signs are positive for the team, which managed to defeat the likes of the experienced V Alliance (HCI Alumni) 5-2, the Men’s Open champions International Kakis 4-3, as well as putting up a tough fight against Temasek Polytechnic, the 1st Runner-ups in the IVP Championships this year, and narrowly losing out again St Hilda’s Secondary, the B Division National Champions, 4-3.
However, these matches and their scores do not accurately reflect the true standards of the team, for they were played in experimentation of various plays and strategies. Without a doubt, the volleyball team for now, will keep its head low and keep on training hard, in its bid to bring glory back home to where it rightfully belongs.
The team consists of:
Samuel Ng (Captain)
Tan Zi Jie (Vice Captain)
Tew Jun Hao (Vice Captain)
Lennis Seow
Soon Kian Keong
Galvin Lim
Wincoln Tham
Chia Teck Yuke
Darren Wong
