Kong Hwa School

The yellow background symbolizes the radiance of the burning torch to reflect the school's pursuit of academic excellence.

Further reasoning and support for the name included the Chinese proverb “光前裕後” (guāng qián yù hòu), which implies the school wants its students to be high achievers, defending the honor of their ancestors and doing things for the benefit of future generations.

At the end of 1960, Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan bought a 60,000 square feet adjacent piece of land at a cost of $90,000 to construct a secondary school wing.

When Nan Chiau Girls’ High was being reconstructed, the school's students were housed in the newly built Kong Hwa Wing.

This text is more than three thousand years old, and speaks of the five aspects of balanced development, “德、智、體、群、美” or morality, wit, health, society, and beauty.

The amphitheater was designed to provide an environment for promoting Western culture in the area of performing arts and public skills.

This place, which serves as an area for students to rest and relax, is also meant to be a source of inspiration and promotion of Chinese culture.

One example would be that the school places equal emphasis on the arts and sports– there are dedicated facilities for training in the sports (especially in table tennis and badminton), and there is a small wing where the rooms are reserved for musical purposes such as the Chinese Orchestra or band.

The group supports the school’s academic programme and strengthens the community bonds among students, parents, and staff.

In 2024, VSP celebrated its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of active parenting and collaboration with Kong Hwa School.

The anniversary was commemorated with special initiatives like a limited edition plush bear, symbolizing the enduring spirit and unity of the Kong Hwa family.
