身处多元民族、多元文化、多元宗教的马来西亚，兴华中学就是一个社会的缩影。本校有华裔、巫裔、印裔师生在同一个校园内生活与学习。屠妖节即将来临，本着跨文化交流的理念，今
年学校邀请校内印裔老师为全体师生于11月 4日（星期三）首次举办屠妖节特备节目和展出，以促进师生对此节庆的了解。
早上9时左右，全体师生聚集在国字型大楼各楼层走廊。校园各个角落皆可听见轻快的印度歌曲，气氛热闹。
屠妖节庆典仪式开始，司仪以英语介绍屠妖节的意义、Kolam、Henna的文化意涵，才由校友会主席余安、尤瑞泉董事、陈冬兴董事、黄秀玉校长与四位副校长带领老师们一起点燃印度式烛灯。老师们将手中的铁盘由小到大排列在我校校徽Kolam两旁，大家用手上的彩色米粒妆点校徽Kolam。大约9时25分，印度舞蹈表演开始。由舞蹈社高中部的八名女生呈现曲名字为“Jaiho”的印度舞蹈。独特又轻盈的传统服饰随着舞者轻快的旋律飞舞，活泼又不失优雅。
此外，位于仁爱广场有一系列的特备活动，如：印度手部彩绘——Henna及印度纱丽试穿与拍照。七位老师细心在学生的手背上进行彩绘，作品凸显了浓浓的印度风味，队伍大排长龙，大家都期待为手背增添艺术。两位老师在临时更衣室里帮助学生换上印度纱丽，体会印度传统服装的美，换装后的师生到拍照区拍照留念。
仁爱广场设立的印度美食展人气也不错，师生积极捧场。现场有印裔老师向大家介绍各类美食的名称、食材和制做，让大家在品尝之余多了解印度文化。展出的印度美食有：Halwa、Kesori、Murukku等，增添食欲。印度美食的味道独特，但十分合大家的胃口，负责老师们还得迅速补货呢！
大会也张贴海报海报宣传主题：屠妖节的意义和印度手部彩绘Henna的由来，让学生可以进一步认识友族文化。屠妖节庆典仪式于当日3时05分圆满闭幕。

The first ever Deepavali Carnival held at Hin Hua High School on Wednesday 4th of November 2015 was the brainchild of Mdm Boo, Vice Principal cum Head of English Language Centre. I was “happily-surprised” when she informed me of her idea on having a Deepavali Carnival in school.
The purpose of the Deepavali Carnival at Hin Hua High School was to provide an opportunity for students to explore the cultural diversity of communities in Malaysia and to foster intercultural understanding. In order to make it significant and meaningful for all, especially the students, we teachers at ELC brainstormed and finally managed to get things planned for the carnival. One of the main displays was the “Rangoli Kolam” an Indian folk art in which patterns are created on the floor using coloured rice. Photo and Saree booths were another “hot spot” that made the carnival even more livelier as students and staff were so eager to get themselves wrapped in sarees just to have a feel of it. Henna or Mehndi a traditional Indian art of painting on hands using paste of henna leaves was another popular booth that was crowded with students. There was also a splendid array of traditional Indian sweets and delicacies served for all students during the carnival.
It was not an easy task to start off with, as a lot of planning and organising had to be done in a short period of time to bring about the festival of light to life at Hin Hua High School. The preparation for the Deepavali Carnival kicked off soon after our second semester examination was over. During the preparation, the teachers of ELC and Indian teachers from BM Department worked hand in hand with our students to get things organised for the event. The festive mood was truly felt by the whole school as they contributed in some way or the other to the success of the Carnival. The Deepavali Carnival at Hin Hua High School was successful mainly due to the positive encouragement and support from the school administrators and we the ELC teachers would like to thank the school for creating this platform for enabling us to share our tradition and culture to the rest of the school community.
希望每一年举办

今年第一年办屠妖节庆典，我觉得很有趣、很特别。这个庆典让我学到更多印度人的传统文化。此外，我也尝试了很多新鲜的事物，如：印度糕点、穿纱丽及手部彩绘。印度糕点的味道很特别，酸酸甜甜的，很好吃。印裔老师帮我们在手部彩绘漂亮图案，冰冰凉凉的，待干前要小心弄脏衣服。此外，同学们的舞蹈表演十分好看，活力十足。
我希望以后每一年都有屠妖节庆典，举校同欢。
更了解印度同胞传统文化

我觉得这次的屠妖节活动很有趣，三大民族老师一起穿印度传统服装，非常特别。舞蹈学会同学的表演十分精彩，印度舞活泼生动。此外，还有摊位展示印度传统糕饼让大家试吃；现场有印裔老师帮我们画Henna，许多人排队跃跃欲试。我和朋友做了一个“蛋黄哥”的彩绘Kolam，非常好玩。
总而言之，这次的活动十分有趣，也让我更加了解印度同胞的传统文化，希望还有机会参加类似的活动。
