Dear Friends and Family of Hwa Chong,
This season, we celebrate our teachers and all who take on the role of caring for our students. Each issue of Insights captures the range of activities that encompass the Hwa Chong experience. We see our students in action and in action for others. None of these experiences could or would have been possible without the concerted leadership, care and inspiration from our teachers.
Our teachers lead with the belief that the growth potential is inherent in all. They care with the balance of gentle nudges and tough love. They inspire many to dream and scale thresholds.
We celebrate our teachers with how they lead, care and inspire each other and all of us. In this season and month of us celebrating teachers, let us remember that those who care need care too. Let us remember those who have cared for us and those who continue to care for us. Let us reach out to them to let them know how they have made a difference in our lives. Let us also take pride in our work and for who we are, for teaching is a calling and a mission that only those with the strength, character, as well as heart and soul can truly live up to.
教育的本质,在于为国家社会培育具备道德高尚、诚实守法、博学多才的人才。他们将为国家,为社会创造财富,推动经济增长,促进世界和平。投身教育的老师们,你们兢兢业业、勤勤恳恳地传道、授业、解惑,任重道远。作为人类灵魂的工程师,我们该为自己的使命和奉献感到自豪。
善之本在教,教之本在师。值此教师节之际,敬祝老师们桃李满天下,春晖遍四方!
Happy Teachers’ Day to all our special educators who continue to lead, care and inspire us all.
Best regards,
Pang Choon How
