海天辽阔 云树苍龙 中有我华中
Hwa Chong is blessed with a beautiful campus, with a plethora of flora and fauna. The tall trees and extensive bushes in our school stand as testament to many years of cultivation and care. Indeed, their age reflects upon the school’s long-standing dedication as a premier institution that that grooms generations of leaders in research, industry and government.
Amongst the historic buildings and the state-of-the-art facilities stand many thoughtfully arranged old trees, shrubs and bushes, all of which play an integral part in contributing to the beauty of our campus. Students often rest under the trees lining the top of the terraces after sports training, while some plants specimens found in our school used for dissections in biology classes.
Moreover, it is fortunate that Singapore is situated along the East Asian-Australasian Migratory flyway, acting as an important stopover point for migratory birds. Along with the lush greenery and a vast diversity of flora, it is not uncommon to see many species of birds residing in the canopies of various trees all around our school at different times of the year.
With the flora and fauna closely complementing one another, the school has successfully shaped itself into a garden campus, attracting birds, butterflies and other forms of wildlife to flourish among us.
