A Teacher Who Cares Beyond the Classroom

Congratulations to our Senior Teacher, Mr William Chua Wee Lian, recipient of the Caring Teachers Award 2026 – National Level Commendation Award!

From the volleyball court to the PE lesson, Mr Chua believes that character matters more than skill. Through his unwavering commitment to a “team first” culture, he nurtures not only capable athletes, but resilient, confident and caring individuals.

With his warmth, encouragement and quiet attentiveness to every student, Mr Chua has touched generations of students and inspired them to give their best, look out for one another, and believe in themselves.

On 7 August, the ASRJC community came together to celebrate our nation’s birthday through the National Day Observance Ceremony and ASRConnects. It was a day of reflection, celebration and meaningful connections, in the spirit of this year’s National Day theme, “Majulah Singapura, Go Beyond”.

Standing together as one college community, we sang the National Anthem and recited the National Pledge, renewing our commitment to building a shared future grounded in democracy, justice, peace, prosperity and equality. The National Day Observance Ceremony also had our students at its heart, with the Student Planning Committee dedicating countless hours to bringing the celebrations to life and ensuring that the voices of their peers were reflected in the programme.

The celebrations then extended beyond our college community through ASRConnects, where we welcomed more than 300 guests from our community partners, including Lions Befrienders, Allkin Singapore, SG Cares Hougang and MINDS. Our JC1 students planned customised activities and performances for our guests, while our JC2 students stepped up as hosts and guides, ensuring that everyone felt welcomed and cared for.

From the solemnity of the National Pledge to the joyful chords of familiar National Day songs, and from shared laughter with our community partners to the many connections forged throughout the day, we were reminded that the Singapore story belongs to all of us.

More importantly, the day gave life to our motto, Discere Servire Non Mihi Solum — To Learn, To Serve, Not For Myself Alone. As one ASRJC family, we go beyond by reaching out, uplifting others and playing our part in building a stronger, more inclusive community. ❤️🤍

This year, our commemoration of SG Perspectives Month was an opportunity not just to celebrate SG61, but also to reflect on how we can come together as a community to support one another and build a more inclusive Singapore.

From Racial Harmony Day to the eve of National Day, inclusivity was at the heart of a vibrant line-up of activities led by the Students’ Council, National Day Observance Ceremony (NDOC) Student Planning Committee, ASR BLAZE Scholars, Red Cross Youth and the English Department.

Our community partners from MINDS, Down Syndrome Association, SPD, Bizlink, Diabetes Singapore and Heartware Network also joined us in echoing the call to forge a “We First” society, helping our students deepen their understanding of how each of us can play a part in creating a more inclusive community.

In our classrooms, discussions on Race and National Identity encouraged students to reflect on what binds us together as Singaporeans despite our differences. Our JC2s also raised thoughtful and timely questions during a dialogue with Minister for National Development, Mr Chee Hong Tat.

Across classrooms, activities and conversations, the ASR community came together to reflect, engage and consider how we can each contribute towards building a more inclusive Singapore.

On 21 July 2026, ASRJC's annual University and Scholarship Symposium brought together university professors, alumni and international education agencies to guide students in navigating their higher education pathways. Through a series of engaging talks, students gained valuable insights about university life, admission requirements, and career prospects, with alumni sharing their personal experiences to offer a relatable perspective on the journey ahead. The Question and Answer segments gave students the chance to seek clarification and deepen their understanding, with sessions facilitated by ASRJC students, reflecting the college's emphasis on student-led engagement.

Beyond the talks, the symposium featured booths from Singapore's six autonomous universities and the University of the Arts Singapore, as well as representatives from the British Council, Austrade and Brightsparks. This year, booth timings were extended to allow students more time for meaningful conversations with university and agency representatives, enabling them to explore course offerings, scholarship opportunities, and pathways to overseas education at their own pace.

The event saw active student participation, with many approaching speakers and representatives with genuine curiosity to gain a clearer picture of their options ahead. The symposium continues to serve as a cornerstone of ASRJC's commitment to empowering students to make informed decisions about their next steps after junior college.
