Hari Raya Celebration 2024
It was a momentous occasion at Regent Secondary School as the vibrant spirit of Hari Raya Aidilfitri filled the air. With the departure of the holy month of Ramadhan, we joyously welcomed Syawal, a time for celebration, gratitude, and humility.
At Regent Secondary School, we embrace diversity and foster cultural understanding among our students. The Hari Raya Programme 2024 underscored our commitment to promoting these cultural cohesion and social harmony.
As part of this year's festivities, Regenites from all levels took part in an exhilarating Inter-class Challenge titled “One Day During Hari Raya” on the morning of April 16. The challenge tasked students with showcasing the themes of ‘Happiness and Gratitude’ through their creations using plasticine. In under thirty minutes, students had to craft figurines depicting traditional costumes, delicacies, and moments of family bonding typically observed during Hari Raya.
It was truly inspiring to witness the creativity and teamwork displayed by our students as they raced against the clock to mold their plasticine masterpieces. The resulting creations were a testament to the spirit of unity and collaboration that thrives within our school community.
With each figurine and scene, our Regenites showcased not only their artistic talents but also their appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Through this event, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering a school environment where diversity is celebrated, and all students feel a sense of belonging.

Sustainable Celebrations: Embracing Chinese New Year with Environmental Consciousness
This Chinese New Year, our classrooms at Regent, are radiating with creativity and eco-consciousness as we adorn them with decorations crafted from recycled materials. Students have transformed everyday items like newspapers and plastic bottles, and recycled old Hong Bao packets, into vibrant lanterns and fiery dragons, skilled calligraphy, and intricate paper-cuttings, infusing our learning spaces with the spirit of tradition and sustainability. By re-purposing materials that would otherwise end up in landfills, we're not only reducing waste but also embodying the values of resourcefulness and environmental stewardship. These creative decorations that line our corridors were a result of an Inter-class CNY Classroom Corridor Walls Decorations Competition. The decorations were judged on three areas, namely creativity, recycling efforts and teamwork. These eco-friendly decorations serve as a reminder of our commitment to honoring tradition while caring for the planet. As we celebrate the Year of the Dragon, let's continue to find innovative ways to incorporate sustainability into our festivities and inspire others to join us in creating a greener, more sustainable future. Happy New Year!

Today, Regent ushered in the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit with a hybrid mode of celebrations!
The day started off with students learning more about the significance of the Lunar New Year and its traditions through a virtual Bingo game in class. The lively and festive atmosphere was further heightened with a concert in the School Hall. There was a show-stopping lion dance performance as well as items put up by our very own Regent Modern Dance Group and the Regent Revolution Show Choir. Students also got to learn about the intriguing art of face-changing, and there was much fun and laughter to be had with the return of our annual crowd favourite—the God of Fortune!

Hari Raya Celebrations 2023
We bade farewell to the holy month of Ramadan and ushered in the month of Syawal with our Hari Raya Aidilfitri Concert on 18 April 2023.
Themed “Cahaya Aidilfitri” (Light of Aidilfitri), the Concert saw our student talents putting up a series of performances to showcase the rich cultural and religious traditions of the Malay-Muslim community in Singapore. There were dance performances by our Malay Language students as well as a show-stopping Silat display; our English Drama club also performed a sketch to illustrate the significance that the holy month holds for Muslims across the world. In keeping with the festivities, Regenites were also treated to a musical performance by the Regent Pop Band, who performed a selection of Raya songs old and new.
Indeed, it was heartening to see all students and staff coming together as one to celebrate Eid with joy and thanksgiving!
