A School that Builds Character, Nurtures Learners and Serves the Community

Philosophy

At Bendemeer Secondary School, we believe that all students are unique individuals and we provide exceptional educational experiences that help them discover their strengths and talents. With our school values of Integrity, Care, Respect, Responsibility and Resilience, we nurture our students to be self-aware, self-directed and to take ownership of their own learning. We nurture morally upright students who persevere in the face of challenges. We provide them with leadership opportunities and allow them to demonstrate their creativity and initiative. Through research-based practice and innovation, as well as a strong culture of care, our dedicated and professional staff supports each child's learning and social-emotional needs. In doing so, we nurture Bendemeer graduates who are confident youths equipped with the values, skills and knowledge to succeed, and who collaborate with others to contribute to the betterment of the community and country.

The school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP), 'Making Science Alive through Authentic Problem Based Learning', helps students develop an appreciation of concepts and principles related to Health Science. Our Learning for Life Programme (LLP) focuses on Developing Student Leadership through Service Learning, where students are given opportunities to collaborate and lead their peers in level Values-in-Action (VIA) projects. The school's collaboration with the Kolam Ayer Youth Executive Committee in the 'Dialogue with Minister' Series gives Bendemeerians the opportunity to voice their views on issues affecting their community. The school's internationalisation programme gives every student the opportunity to travel abroad. The Sequoia and NTcipate Life programmes are specially customised to engage N(A) and N(T) students through experiential learning experiences to discover their aspirations and fulfil their potential. Learning is engaging in and out of the classroom as teachers adopt research-based teaching methodologies, such as inquiry-based, problem-based, and cooperative and collaborative learning, to deepen and enrich students' understanding and equip them with 21st century competencies. Innovative programmes include our Dramaworkz programme which uses drama to develop confident and expressive speakers. Students' interests and talents are further developed through programmes like the Mathematics Learning Trail, the Maths Olympiad and the Design Skills Enrichment for D&T students. Co-curricular experiences such as the Education and Career Guidance Programme, complement the curriculum in providing a holistic education. Through this programme, students are able to visit the aviation, health science, and service industries.
