(Bandar Seri Begawan, 17th) — The non-profit Chinese private school with more than a century of history, Chung Hwa Middle School Brunei (abbreviated as CHMS), recently completed a major personnel adjustment. The school board announced that the former Vice Principal (Academic), Du Xiuying, will be promoted to Acting Principal effective June 1, 2026; the former Assistant Principal (Administration), Zheng Xiuying, will also be promoted to Vice Principal (Administration) on the same date.
Highly respected by both teachers and students, Principal Xu Yuelan has been appointed as Principal Advisor to assist the new management team in a smooth transition during the handover period.
In addition, Su Qiaohan was promoted to Acting Assistant Principal of the Primary Division earlier this year; the personnel arrangements for the Secondary Division and Kindergarten remain unchanged, with Chen Meidian serving as Assistant Principal of the Secondary Division and Shen Manling as Assistant Principal of the Kindergarten.
Xu Yuelan Becomes Advisor, Providing Guidance during Transition
Principal Xu Yuelan has dedicated years to the development of the school, leading it to remarkable achievements in academics, cultural heritage, and campus construction, earning deep respect and trust from staff and parents. To ensure stability in school management, the board has specially appointed her as Principal Advisor.
During the transition period, she will draw upon her rich experience in school governance and professional skills to assist Acting Principal Du Xiuying in becoming familiar with school operations, ensuring smooth progress and continued development for all school affairs.
Xu Yuelan stated: "Thank you all for your trust and support over the years. It is my honor to continue assisting the school as an advisor during the handover period. I sincerely wish the new management team all the best, and hope everyone will work hand in hand to make this century-old school even more glorious."
Internal Promotions, Experience Passed Down
The Acting Principal, formerly the Vice Principal in charge of academic affairs, Du Xiuying, is promoted from within. She has actively pushed for curriculum reform and smart education, is familiar with the school's educational direction, and deeply understands the importance of Chinese language heritage. In the future, she will focus on enhancing teaching quality and holistic student development.
The Vice Principal (Administration) position is taken up by former Assistant Principal (Administration), Zheng Xiuying. She will continue to assist the Acting Principal in overseeing school administration, improving administrative efficiency, and more effectively supporting teaching.
Su Qiaohan, as Acting Assistant Principal of the Primary Division, will focus on foundational education and the character development of primary students. Meanwhile, the Assistant Principals of the Secondary Division and Kindergarten remain unchanged to ensure stability and continuity in the management of these sections.
Du Xiuying said: "Assuming this responsibility is both an honor and a duty. Under Advisor Xu Yuelan's guidance, I will lead the team to move forward steadily and conscientiously, living up to the school’s trust and enabling every student to grow healthily in a positive school ethos."
Stable Transition, Legacy Inherited
The CHMS Board emphasized that this personnel adjustment is not a rupture but a passing of the torch, hoping that this new phase will build upon the old, forming a more efficient and united management team, continuously carrying forward the excellent traditions of this centennial Chinese school, and leading the school into a new stage of development.
