Mid Autumn Festival MAF Celebration 2024 at HCI High School

On 13 Sep 2024, the High School section of HCI celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival for the first time in recent years. The evening’s theme, An Evening of Tang Dynasty Splendour, was vividly brought to life at the Clock Tower and Oei Tiong Ham Hall, with engaging set-ups and game stalls designed to immerse students in the cultural significance of the festival. The celebration was made possible through the collaborative efforts of student leaders from the BSP, CLEP, and Ortus Councils.

It was a night of lively festivity, as HCI students were joined by guests from Nanyang Girls’ High School and the HCI Parent Support Group. A key highlight of the event was the official commissioning of the Chinese Cultural Corner at Oei Tiong Ham Hall by Principal Mr Lee Peck Ping and other School Leaders. The new corner features interactive displays centred on Chinese language and culture, with a special focus on the Singaporean Chinese identity.

The evening concluded on a high note with The MAF Voice, showcasing the musical and vocal talents of HCI students. It was a joyous occasion for all, perfectly capturing the festive spirit of reunion.

【月照华岗 风华盛唐】华中（中学部）2024年中秋节庆祝会

华侨中学于9月13日（农历八月十一）首次于中学部庆祝中秋节，举校共庆团圆。当晚的主题为【月照华岗 风华盛唐】，旨在通过巧思妙想将盛世长安的中秋气氛重新演绎，再现华岗。当晚，黄仲涵堂随着不同文化展摊活动的推进，人潮涌现，络绎不绝。在双文化课程自理会、语文特选课程自理会以及启元共识联学生理事会成员的组织带领下，华中学子亲身体验到了中秋佳节的节庆气息。我们也很荣幸能邀请到南洋女中的同学以及华中家长会的成员一起同欢，共襄盛举。

庆祝会上，李白彬校长与学校领导也为新落成的文化角落，即【华中文化酷】进行开幕。【华中文化酷】通过互动电子设备，将华族文化常识以轻松有趣的多媒体形式呈现给参观者。展出的内容不但会定期进行更新，也会突出新加坡华人的身份认同元素，做到“胸怀祖国，放眼天下”。

活动的文娱表演环节【中秋好声音】，展现了华中学子的歌唱与演奏才华，让到场的观众在悠扬悦耳的歌声和琴声中，感受到“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟”的节日意义。
