Tutoring Services Company Profile: The Chinese High School was founded
in 1919 as the first secondary school in Singapore offering
a modern education using the Chinese language. Initially
operating out of bungalows on Niven Road, the school
relocated to its current location along Bukit Timah Road
The
clock tower building on the school’s campus is now a
gazetted national monument. Today, it is known as
Hwa Chong Institution, a premier education
institution in Singapore that consists of both
secondary school and junior college sections.
The idea of establishing a secondary school for
graduates of Chinese-language primary schools in
Singapore was first mooted in May 1913 by Tan Kah
Kee, a prominent Chinese businessman and
philanthropist. This suggestion was only revisited
much later in 1919 at a meeting attended by
principals of 16 Chinese primary schools. At this
meeting, Tan, then the chairman of Tao Nan School,
set an example by donating S$30,000 to the cause.
With an initial enrolment of 78 pupils and four
teachers, the first Chinese-language secondary
school in Singapore began operations at a private
bungalow at 15 Niven Road in March 1919. The
Singapore Nanyang Overseas School, abbreviated in
Chinese to Hua Zhong and known in English as the
Chinese High School, was also groundbreaking for
having a management committee that crossed dialect
lines. Besides having Tan Kah Kee, a Hokkien, as the
first chairman of the school board, Ng Sing Phang, a
Cantonese, served as its vice-chairman and Lim Nee
Soon, a Teochew, was appointed as treasurer. K.Y.
Doo was the school’s first principal.
The Hwa Chong Boarding School consists of numerous
hostel blocks and amenities to facilitate students'
and boarders' recreation and educational needs.
Established in 2002, the Boarding School houses up
to 1000 students in comfort, with developed
infrastructure and plentiful facilities such as a
gymnasium, computer room, conference room and
air-conditioned study rooms. Furthermore, a
convenience store that is open throughout the day
allows students to buy extra tidbits and schooling
supplies at their leisure. Finally, numerous
activities are also planned to bond students
together. Cluster outings, internal cleanliness
competitions and artistic contests serve to promote
togetherness and a sense of community.
