DEFINITION

Noun

An alternative name for the former Hwa Chong Junior College.

由来
  • 华中初级学院（Hwa Chong Junior College），简称“华初”，创办于1974年一月。华初是新加坡第二所初级学院，也是第一所政府辅助初级学院。
  • 由于华初位于武吉知马的校园以米色和棕色为主，在夕阳的照映下形象犹如一座“黄城”，因此被赋予了这一美称。
  • 华初作为全面教育的先驱之一，为学生提供了中英双语、双文化课程。
  • 2005年1月1日，华中初级学院与华侨中学（The Chinese High School）合并，新校名为华侨中学（Hwa Chong Institution）。两校合并后开办了六年直通车课程（Integrated Programme），并分为初院部（College section）和中学部（High School section）。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Hwa Chong Junior College (HCJC) was founded in January 1974. It was Singapore’s second junior college, and the first government-aided junior college.
  • As the HCJC campus in Bukit Timah is painted in beige and brown, it sometimes appeared to be bathed in a golden-yellow glow at sunset, hence the poetic name “黄城” (“yellow city”).
  • To provide its students with a holistic education, HCJC offers bilingual and bicultural programmes.
  • On 1 January 2005, HCJC merged with The Chinese High School to become Hwa Chong Institution (HCI). After the merger, a six-year Integrated Programme was established, with the school divided into a College section and a High School section.
例句
同学们并没有因语文源流、学校名声而产生隔阂与分化，大家一律视自己为黄城的一分子。（《联合早报》， 9/7/2014）
SAMPLE SENTENCE
There were no divisions among the students despite them hailing from different language streams and schools with varying levels of prestige. All regarded themselves simply as members of Hwa Chong Junior College. (Lianhe Zaobao, 9/7/2014)
