Our Classrooms
Our Bugis Classrooms are specially designed to reflect the different elements that represent Chinese, namely: Bamboo, Panda & Porcelain.
Bamboo Room (翠竹苑)
有竹无人负孤竹，有人无竹令人俗
The stalk of the bamboo is hollow, which came to symbolize tolerance and open-mindedness. Furthermore, the flexibility and strength of the bamboo stalk also came to represent the human values of cultivation and integrity in which one yields but does not break.
Panda Room (黑白轩)
黑白分明不染尘，行住坐卧心常定
Pandas are significant to the Chinese culture. It symbolises Strength, Peace & Harmony. The black and white colour of the panda is seen as the physical representation of Yin and Yang, and how the balance between these two bring about harmony and peace.
Porcelain Room (天青坊)
雨过天青云开处，这般颜色做将来
Porcelain is the creative fruit of the working people of ancient China since the Han Dynasty. It is called china in English because it was first made in China. Its beautiful colour signifies nature, beauty & hope.
