As a key platform and bridge for

AISL inter-school activities,

the Huasheng Championship

continues the inaugural event’s vision of 

“Voicing the Bay Area, Debating the Future”. 

It provides students with valuable opportunities to 

engage and learn alongside their Harrow peers.

Using Mandarin and Cantonese as mediums, 

the event deepened cultural identity 

within the Greater Bay Area.

Through meticulous training in pronunciation, 

intonation, and emotional expression, 

students significantly enhanced their linguistic precision 

and ability to adapt on stage. 

Performing helped them overcome nerves, 

building self-confidence 

and the composure needed to face challenges.

“The Huasheng Championship is more than a competition; it’s a practical expression of Harrow’s educational philosophy,” emphasised Mr Marcus LAW. ” We are committed to creating a brilliant platform where students refine their language artistry, deepen their global perspective, and become future leaders equipped with cultural depth and global competence.”

Critical Debates, Global Insights Harrow students interpreted “honour” 

from diverse perspectives. 

Using “Bilingual”, they demonstrated 

the wisdom and flair to 

build cultural bridges. 

While viewpoints and stances varied, 

they consistently maintained an attitude of 

active listening and understanding.

We look forward to their continued growth 

and achievements on their journey towards excellence, 

becoming well-rounded future navigators.
