Morning Assembly Oratorical Presentations

Morning assembly oratorical presentations are a platform designed specifically to help students gain confidence in speaking publicly in front of a large audience. During morning assemblies, different classes turn to give a short presentation on topics ranging from idiomatic expressions to word etymology to encourage their peers to broaden their vocabulary.

Citizenship and Character Education

Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) is at the heart of Singaporeans. Students learn values, social-emotional competencies, and character and citizenship dispositions through CCE, allowing them to grow holistically and learn for life. To assist our students in adapting to disruptions in an ever-changing world, taught in CCE must remain current and relevant. CCE 2021 was created with this in mind to students navigate the realities of their time.

Our PE Program

Our students in Bowen will learn to play various sports and games to maintain physical fitness over 4-5 years. Help our students appreciate and comprehend the various sports using a cognitive approach. Students are encouraged to think critically and creatively when devising game strategies through concept-based lessons. It is also a goal to create meaningful and stimulating lessons and activities that will improve our students’ affective and social skills, foster character development, and cultivate the desirable qualities of sportsmanship. Aside from games and sports and outdoor education lessons, our students also go through a series of Physical Health and Fitness lessons designed to provide sports-specific knowledge.
