Vision

An extended family which brings out the greatness in every child to be a responsible and passionate learner and leader.

Mission

To care for and guide every child to achieve their aspirations. To inculcate right values in every child to contribute to family, community and nation.

Philosophy

Guided by our school vision, 'An extended family which brings out the greatness in every child to be a responsible and passionate learner and leader', the school adopts the dual emphasis on being an Aspiration-Focussed and CCA-Centric school. Through the Academic Programme, all students regardless of stream and ability, are assured of a firm foundation in knowledge, skills and values for the next stage of education and life ahead. Our CCA Programme inculcates in our students sound values to form strong character through the exercise of leadership. Our Student Development Programme helps our students discover their passions and work toward their aspirations. Our culture of care as embodied in our school motto 'To Love and To Forgive' guides us in this extended family, with nurturing and dedicated teachers/staff, and supportive parents, School Advisory Committee, alumni and industry partners, as we care for and guide every child to achieve their aspirations, and inculcate the right values in them to contribute to family, community and nation.

Sdp

The school's Student Development (SD) Programme offers specially designed modules: Digital & info-com technology, Relation & business, Engineering, science & maths, Arts & humanities, Media & design, and Sports & leisure (DREAMS) enables our students to discover their interest & passion, learn new skills, build their portfolios and work towards their aspirations. The SD Programme comprises mandatory and choice modules. Within the SD programme, our Applied Learning Programme (ALP) - 'Exploring Possibilities with Materials Science', Learning for Life Programme (LLP) - INSPIRE@BLS and Project Work (ASEF/I&E) are mandatory modules for all lower secondary students. ALP equips students with design thinking skills to explore with materials to solve everyday problems. Eventually, students use chromebooks to access online tools to create 3D-printable products and use 3D printer and laser cutter to produce prototypes of their designs. With a focus on Music and the Performing Arts, INSPIRE@BLS (Igniting Students' Passion and Interests through Arts-related Experiences), contributes to the holistic development of our students by inculcating values, socio-emotional competencies, life skills and a passion for lifelong learning and appreciation for the arts. The Asia Europe Foundation (ASEF) programme offers online project opportunities for our students to work in collaboration with Asian and European partner schools from countries such as Italy, India and Netherlands. This programme allows them to push their learning frontiers for active citizenry, self-discovery and the development of multi-cultural literacy. The Innovation & Enterprise (I&E) programme focuses on developing students in innovative thinking and the understanding of the business process towards creating a social enterprise.
