Vision

Every Bowenian a Passionate Learner, Leader and Champion.

Mission

Nurturing Learning. Developing Character. Inspiring Service.

Philosophy

Bowen aspires to cultivate life-long learning, strength of character and service to others in all our students. In Bowen, there is a strong culture of care where teachers nurture and guide every Bowenian to grow and to reach for excellence. Bowen's flagship ChANgeMaker programme nurtures a spirit of service and empathy in every Bowenian, with authentic opportunities every year to learn, to serve, and to engage in design thinking. Bowen's motto, 'I Believe, Therefore I Am' reflects our belief that our students can fulfil their aspirations when they believe in their abilities and strive for excellence.

Sdp

Bowen champions holistic education, where students are challenged to strive for excellence through both academic programmes and character development programmes. Bowen engages students in learning through creative programmes such as LifeLit, a drama-infused English Language programme for Lower Secondary students, and authentic fieldwork such as annual Historical and Geographical Investigations to sites of historical and geographical interest. Our year-round Aforte programme broadens the learning opportunities for Normal stream students through enrichment and elective modules to help them aspire to the future. Our strong CCA culture provides a well-balanced and comprehensive co-curricular programme that helps the students to grow into all-rounded individuals. Our flagship ChANgeMaker systematically provides authentic opportunities for students to engage in meaningful service, utilising Design Thinking protocol to better meet the needs of the beneficiaries. ChANgeMaker trains students in both social enterprise and community youth leadership, which are two areas under which students can be admitted to Bowen under Direct School Admission.
