Learning for Life Programme
In Bendemeer, our VIA is embedded in our LLP.
In Tier 1, we adopt a thematic, spiral approach to our VIA, with skills, competencies, values, and subject integration spiralling upwards as students move from Sec 1 to Sec 4/5.
Bendemeer Secondary's Values in Action (VIA) programme offers a progressive, four-year approach to community engagement and social responsibility. In Secondary 1, students focus on "Love Our School," participating in a gardening project that integrates science learning and culinary skills. Secondary 2 expands to "Love our Community," with students creating activities for the elderly at local nursing homes. In Secondary 3, the focus shifts to national and global issues, exploring themes like "Keeping SG Safe" and "Healthy Living," addressing topics such as scam awareness, road safety, and balanced diets.
The programme culminates in Secondary 4/5 with "Love Our Environment," where students research resource conservation and create awareness campaigns for Earth Day, collaborating with the Humanities Department. Throughout the programme, students engage in various community projects, including working with primary school children, reinforcing the importance of lifelong learning and school values as they prepare for their next educational journey.
Tier 2 LLP involves our student leaders who work with CARE Singapore to engage young children at Morning Star Community Services. Our student leaders plan activities for the children and engage them during the sessions.
