🎉 Racial Harmony Week 2026: Our People, Our Tapestry 🎉

🔵 Last week, Hougang Secondary School celebrated Racial Harmony Week, embracing the diversity of cultures, languages, and traditions that make our school community vibrant and inclusive. Through a series of meaningful activities and shared experiences, students and staff came together to deepen their appreciation of Singapore’s multicultural heritage, strengthen mutual respect, and reaffirm our commitment to fostering harmony and unity in our everyday interactions.

🟡 This year’s theme, “Our People, Our Tapestry,” reminds us that just as every thread strengthens and beautifies a tapestry, every individual plays a part in weaving Singapore’s vibrant multicultural identity.

🔵 We were privileged to welcome Mr Muhammad bin Ismail, Chairman of the Jalan Kayu Harmony Circle, who shared meaningful insights on embracing diversity, practising cultural sensitivity, and fostering harmony within our community.

🟡 To mark the occasion, students donned traditional cultural attire representing Singapore’s diverse ethnic communities and enjoyed a nostalgic traditional games booth organised in collaboration with our Parent Support Group. From five stones to pick-up sticks, these familiar games sparked laughter, meaningful conversations, and a deeper appreciation of the traditions that have connected generations.

As we celebrate our differences, we are reminded that racial harmony is built through mutual respect, understanding, and everyday acts of kindness. Together, we continue to strengthen the bonds that unite us and embrace the beauty of our diversity. ❤️🤝
