集体记忆是一群人的共同过去，有助于塑造集体身份的认同。圣公会中学由新加坡圣公会教会中文会众于1955年资助成立，目前是新加坡政府的特选学校。常年的筹款活动是让圣中师生、校友上下一心的典范性活动，这种认同和归属在重复与坚持中形塑与传承，从而成为一种集体的文化记忆留存于一代代圣中人心目中，形成对圣中的身份认同。本文以圣中四位校友的口述历史访问及校方出版的文献资料为据，着力探讨圣中：1）创校至1970年代的建设体育馆的筹款活动；2）1980至1990年代的义卖会与文娱表演；以及3）新世纪至今的慈善益走与嘉年华的结合。通过以上三个历史时期的筹款活动的论述，证明常年的筹款活动对学校身份认同的促进作用。Established in 1955, Anglican High School (AHS) was founded with partial funding by the Chinese-speaking congregations of the Anglican Mission in Singapore. AHS is now one of Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools by Singapore government. This paper discusses how AHS has continuously, since its founding years, organised fund-raising activities, and how through such activities, it has become a prime example of how teaching staff, students, parents and alumni, can be brought together, and thus contributing to the construction of the AHS’s identity. Such identity and sense of belonging need to be repeatedly and continuously shaped and passed down, so as to become a collective memory belonging to all generations of Anglicans. Based on four alumni’s oral interviews and second literature sources, such fund-raising events would be divided by time periods into three categories: 1) construction of the sports stadium through students’ fund-raising from the school’s founding to the 1970s; 2) fund-raising events including bazaars and arts performances in the 1980s to the 1990s; and 3) fund-raising events including AHS school walk and carnivals from the 2000s onwards.
