School Motto
The school motto of "Conquer Thyself" embodies the values of self-discipline as demonstrated by the 5 Rs: following Rules, showing Respect, taking Responsibility, building Relationships and Reflecting on the impact of our actions on all those around us.
School Crest
The School Crest is a very important symbol of our school. To most who live in Jurong, it is a key image associated with Hong Kah Secondary School since 1994, and it reflects very clearly a set of values, beliefs and relationships which we, as a school, stand for.
To keep up with the changing times, our school is looking into a makeover of our school crest to update it for the 21st century. While retaining features of the old crest that has become familiar with the residents of Jurong, fresh dimensions have been included to signify a new and vibrant culture in Hong Kah.
The crest represents the philosophy of the school, and our commitment to the education of our pupils;
Features
The ROUND SHAPE reflects the aim of the school to provide a well-rounded education for each and every HKSS pupil.
The THREE STARS represent the three participants in the education enterprise: the Parents, the Pupils and the Professionals. Each has an important role to play, but the brightest star of the show is the pupil.
The GLOBE signifies the internationalised outlook of our New World-Ready Youths.
Chinese characters
Reminds the pupils while we move forward in the name of change, we must not forget the richness of our past. Hong Kah is named after the old Hong Kah Village in Jurong. When Jurong was redeveloped, the original village and its inhabitants were relocated but the name was retained phonologically for the sense of rootednes to our history. The characters encompass the meaning of "abundance" and "praises".
Colours of the crest
BLUE represents the infinite opportunities to reach for the stars.
GREEN represents nature and life, and the caring environment that nurtures.
GOLD represents the ultimate achievement of the STAR, the invaluable qualities of education.
