Principal's Message

Principal's Message for 2025

I am deeply honored to be entrusted with the stewardship of leading our school in its mission to nurture Zhonghuarians into passionate learners, dynamic leaders, and connected citizens. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my predecessors for laying a solid foundation by fostering a strong culture of care, collaboration, and learning. It is truly a privilege to continue building upon this legacy with my dedicated team of teachers and colleagues.

Since joining the school in October 2022, I have had the privilege of engaging with parents, the Parent Support Group, the Alumni Association, and the School Advisory Committee. I sincerely thank them for their unwavering support for our students and their commitment to a strong partnership. I look forward to more collaborative opportunities as we work together to provide Zhonghuarians with a rich and fulfilling schooling experience.

Our school was founded in 1911 by a group of Chinese community leaders who were inspired by Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s vision to provide education for girls at a time when it was widely considered unnecessary due to prevailing societal beliefs. Today, we remain guided by this same vision, striving to provide opportunities for Zhonghuarians to explore, engage, and empower themselves as they embark on their journey of self-discovery and learning.

The period from 2023 to 2024 was one where we reviewed our processes and examined our efforts in our journey to develop our students. Other than reviewing our signature programmes, we also had a team of senior MOE personnel who validated our processes. They affirmed our customised curriculum to meet our diverse students’ needs, the strong culture of care for both our students and staff, and provided sound insights for us to further sharpen our focus. In 2025, we will continue to engage staff, students and stakeholders to consolidate our plans to better prepare Zhonghuarians for the future.

Our Future-ready Framework shows our commitment to prepare our students to be ready for life, for work, and for learning. These platforms and the day-to-day learning inside and outside of the classrooms are designed to equip students with emerging 21st Century Competencies (E21CC) to thrive in an ever-changing global landscape.

May 2025 bring us closer together as a community, united in our shared goal of nurturing the best for our students.
