Founded in 2005, Hwa Chong International School (HCIS) is part of the Hwa Chong family of schools. As a local international school, half of the students are Singaporeans or Permanent Residents, a requirement of the Ministry of Education (Singapore).[1] The rest of the student body comprises international students from over 20 countries.
Activities
[edit]In November 2007, Hwa Chong International School hosted an International Youth Forum on Global Warming, attended by students from several countries.[2]
HCIS was one of the three IB schools in Singapore chosen to host the International Baccalaureate Asia Pacific Regional Workshop in March 2009.[3]
Bullying case
[edit]In 2020, a video went viral of a bullying case in HCIS. One student was shown pushing another boy towards a mirror in a toilet, holding the boy by the shoulders. He then told him to "laugh at yourself" and "laugh like hell". There was "no malice intended" in the case of a boy who was filmed taunting and beating up a fellow student in a toilet, Hwa Chong International School (HCIS) said, adding that the clip in question was over a year old.[4]
