Singapore Centre for Chinese Language (SCCL) held a gala dinner on 22 Sept 2023, celebrating its 15th anniversary. Besides SCCL's Board of Directors, master teachers and staff, invited guests included fellow colleagues from Ministry of Education (MOE), National Institute of Education (NIE), Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) and other collaborating partners to whom we are grateful for their unwavering support and commitments to SCCL in creating an improved environment and system for Chinese language learning.

  After delivering an opening speech, SCCL Chairman of the Board of Directors, Ms Ho Peng presented SCCL's tokens of appreciation to our current Board of Directors for their guidance and pertinent advice. The other highlights of the dinner included not only the scrumptious feast, but also the exquisite performance presented by our fellow colleagues, such as crosstalk, Chinese poetry recitation, singing, and more.

  In commemoration of the 15th years of establishment, SCCL has launched two books: "Propelling the Development of Chinese Language Education in Singapore -- SCCL's Fifteen Glorious Years of Excellence in Creating a Symbiosis Between Teaching and Research", a coffee table book reviewing the developmental journey of the past 15 years (please click Here to read); and "Compendium of SCCL Research Projects (2008-2023) -- Fifteen Years of Achievement in the Creation of a Symbiosis Between Teaching and Research", serving as a phased summary of SCCL research achievements over the past 15 years.

  As we forge ahead for more years down the road, we will stay true to our mission and continue to explore and keep pace with the times, creating a symbiosis between teaching and research.
