Hwa Chong Green Council is a young, yet tightly-knitted and forward-looking community dedicated to transforming Hwa Chong into a more environmentally conscious place. We aim to spread our message to students on a personal level, and to advise the school administration with regard to school-wide policies.

At the school administration level, we aim to reduce energy consumption - through policies (such as the air-conditioner policy) and initiatives (such as the installation of motion sensors in less-used toilets). We also aim to promote a recycling culture in Hwa Chong by bringing in more recycling bins and even E-Waste bins. We have also spearheaded the Clean Movement, along with representatives from Council and Faculty Committee, pushing through initiatives such as spring cleaning sessions.

At the student level, we execute a variety of initiatives for students. Most notably, we have the annual Clean and Green Week, where the spirit of the Clean and Green Movement is truly manifested in Hwa Chong for a week. This year, we will also be setting up a thrift shop at Inner Plaza, to sell items donated by students and teachers.

At the societal level, we organise an annual green camp for primary school students, so as to promote environmental conservation among the younger generation in Singapore. In terms of community involvement, we are part of the Bukit Timah Wildlife Network, which aims to encourage non-littering and appreciation of nature.

To join us, simply sign yourself up at our booth during either Open House or CCA exhibition. You will be notified when applications are open, and you will go through an interview to determine if Green Council is the right CCA for you. Join us if you would like to play a concrete role in the seamless transition of our school into a more sustainable model that serves us and our future generations.
