The school is committed to nurturing a new generation of youths who possess profound humanistic values, a solid scientific spirit, and outstanding innovative capabilities.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>As time moves forward, we step into the Year of the Fire Horse with confidence and anticipation, embarking together on a new journey in 2026. This year marks a significant phase in the school\u2019s continued deepening of holistic development, and a fresh starting point for all staff and students to unite in purpose, strive for excellence, and achieve new milestones.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>It is widely recognised that education is not merely the transmission of knowledge, but also the ignition of potential and the guidance of growth.

Through a wide range of workshops, hands-on projects, innovation competitions, and exchange programmes, students gain direct exposure to cutting-edge technologies, unleashing their creative potential and laying a solid foundation for further education and future careers. The school\u2019s achievement of the Microsoft \u201cShowcase School\u201d recognition for ten consecutive years stands as a testament to its sustained commitment and excellence in technology education and the cultivation of innovative talents.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>As internationalisation remains a key direction of the school\u2019s development, we are dedicated to building bridges to the world for our students through cultural exchanges, international summer camps, global competitions, and academic exchange programmes. These initiatives broaden students\u2019 global perspectives, enhance their cross-cultural communication and adaptability, and enable them to demonstrate the excellence and talent of Chung Hwa Middle School students on the international stage.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The year 2026 is a critical period for Brunei in advancing its \u201cVision 2035\u201d. At this important juncture of national development, the school will continue to actively align with national strategies, taking the cultivation of high-quality talents as its mission and contributing educational strength towards the nation\u2019s sustainable development goals. We will further refine our curriculum, strengthen the integration of technology and the humanities, and nurture students\u2019 innovative thinking and skills, striving to contribute capable individuals to society and the nation.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>We firmly believe that under the proper guidance of the Board of Directors, and through the collective dedication of all staff, the unwavering trust of parents, and the diligence of our students, the school will continue to excel. While preserving the essence of Chinese culture and advancing Chinese education, we will steadily grow into a highly respected and recognised institution in Brunei.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Finally, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all parents and local communities who have supported and contributed to the development of the school. Let us continue to work hand in hand with perseverance and commitment, dedicating ourselves to the school\u2019s continued progress, our students\u2019 futures, and the prosperity of the nation, as we create an even brighter tomorrow together.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>KHO GUIK LAN, PSB PIKB<\/strong><br \/><strong>PRINCIPAL<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7b2c7c3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7b2c7c3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9237017\" data-id=\"9237017\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2ba43f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"b2ba43f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Message from the Principal It is widely recognised that education is not merely the transmission of knowledge, but also the ignition of potential and the guidance of growth.
