Journeying with the nation

The school opened its doors on 11 January 1960 to the children of the rural folk

comprising manual workers, small traders, and pig, vegetable and poultry farmers

who lived in Bukit Panjang and the surrounding areas of Bukit Gombak, Mandai and

Woodlands. It made history as the fi rst integrated government secondary school in

Singapore. The challenge for the school was to foster integration between the English

and Chinese educated students – something it did with panache and imagination

through extra curricular activities such as folk dancing.

Underlining the importance of the school in the nation’s educational landscape, BPGHS

hosted visits by three prominent national leaders: President Yusof Ishak on 23 June

1961, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew on 25 July 1965 and SM Goh Chok Tong on the

occasion of its 45th anniversary on 16 July 2005.

In the Seventies, as the fi rst generation of Housing Board estates were being built

across the island, bricks and mortar issues also dominated the agenda at BPGHS.

The school worked tirelessly to raise funds to upgrade its facilities to offer students

learning opportunities outside the classroom. Academically, the school became well

known for producing sterling results in the Chinese Language at ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels.

In the Eighties, education in Singapore went through a sea change with the phasing

out of vernacular schools. BPGHS showed its mettle when students and teachers from

the Chinese stream persevered in overcoming the diffi culties of adjusting to English

as the main medium of instruction. Not content to rest on its laurels, the school then

set its sights on improving its results in English Language – a feat that was achieved

in 1985 following a rigorous English Language programme. BPGHS’ track record of

sustained progress led to its being accorded autonomous status in 1994.

School History


In the mid-Nineties, the school embarked on a new chapter in its history when it

moved from its Teck Whye campus to a new location at Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4.

The new campus, offi cially opened in 1995, presented a nurturing environment that

supported holistic learning.

At the turn of the century, the school archive was set up to trace the school’s history

and to reaffi rm the ideals on which it was founded. The school underwent PRIME

redevelopment between 2007 and 2008 and moved back to its refurbished campus

after two years at a holding site.

Today, BPGHS has consistently produced value-added academic results and is

recognized for its organisational excellence and student development beyond the

academic arena. The school continues to excel in its niche areas such as Science and

Elective Malay Language Programme (EMAS), even as new peaks of excellence are

charted by our sporting, aesthetics and uniformed groups. The school offers the Art

Elective Programme (AEP) which provides greater opportunities for academically able

and artistically talented students to further develop their interests and hone their skills

in Visual Art. As a Centre of Excellence, BPGHS leads in the professional development

of Mathematics and Science teachers in the West Zone.

School AssessmentHomework Policy

Defi nition of homework

1. Homework refers to any learning activity that students are required by the school to complete outside of curriculum time.

Objectives of homework

2. Homework, when used appropriately, can improve students’ academic ability, study skills and disposition towards learning. When used inappropriately or excessively, however, homework can impact negatively on students’ achievements and motivation, and reduce their access to other activities that teach important life skills.

3. Effective use of homework can enable students to: (a) retain knowledge better; (b) be more skilful in application of skills and concepts; (c) deepen their conceptual understanding; (d) develop good study habits and skills, such as time management, self-evaluation and self-direction; and (e) take greater ownership and responsibility for independent learning.

4. Judicious use of homework allows teachers to: (a) consolidate learning that has taken place in class; (b) check for students’ understanding and progress, so as to provide timely feedback,

intervention and support; and (c) review effectiveness of the lesson.

5. Homework also provides parents with: (a) timely information on the learning progress of their child; and (b) opportunity to be involved in child’s learning.

General considerations for setting homework

Quantity of Homework6. In giving homework, the school will take into consideration the following: (a) The amount of homework should be age-appropriate; (b) There is a point of diminishing returns to giving more homework and

homework overload can have detrimental effects on learning; (c) Assignment of homework will be regulated and coordinated across

subjects/departments to avoid homework overload. Classes will make use of the Homework Planner to track the homework assigned and the deadline for submission.

(d) There are competing demands for students’ time (e.g. CCA, competitions, enrichment classes, tests, examinations). There will be no more than three tests a week and homework will not be due for submission a day before common tests and/or examinations.

(e) Students need a balanced life, with adequate time for family bonding, social activities, personal interest(s) and sleep; and

(f) As a guide, if homework is to be given during the school holidays and weekends, the daily homework load should not be more than 50% of the daily load given during the school week.


School AssessmentHomework Policy

Quality of Homework7. Homework given should be well designed to bring about the intended learning

outcomes. It should: (a) be interesting and purposeful; (b) involve active and thoughtful work; (c) be meaningful and related to class teaching; (d) be explicit and clearly defi ned so that students clearly understand what is required of

them; (e) be within the students’ capabilities and developmental readiness; (f) involve the use of only material resources that are known to be readily available to

students; and (g) be differentiated, where possible, to meet the different needs and abilities of

students.

Feedback for Homework8. Homework should be properly checked, with timely feedback, interventions and support

given. To some extent, the quality of homework is only as good as the quality of feedback and interventions given by teachers.

Roles and responsibilities of stakeholders

9. Educators, parents and learners all play an important role in ensuring that homework serves its intended purposes.

10. Teachers should: (a) Design appropriate and meaningful homework; (b) Set realistic deadlines for submission of homework; (c) Establish and communicate clear expectations to students on the purpose and

procedure of homework; (d) Coordinate with other teachers of the class on the frequency and quantity of

homework to be given; (e) Check homework and provide timely feedback to students; (f) Provide timely intervention and support to students; and (g) Engage parents on homework matters and provide them with information

pertaining to students’ learning progress.

11. Students should: (a) Understand the purpose of homework and what is expected of them; (b) Keep track of homework instructions and deadlines; (c) Manage time well to ensure that homework is completed and submitted on time; (d) Give his/her best effort in completing homework; and (e) Review feedback from teachers on homework submitted.

12. Parents should: (a) Create a home environment conducive for studying and completion of homework; (b) Supervise and provide support for child’s learning; (c) Reinforce good study habits and attitudes; (d) Be mindful not to overload the child with out-of-school activities; and (e) Work in partnership with teachers to support child’s learning and development.

House System

Nutrio means Teamwork. Red represents energy and passion, which are needed for good teamwork to exist. The House crest depicts a blazing fi re which symbolises passion, for a team should share a common passion in order to succeed. The puzzle pieces within the fi re represent how everyone in a team is essential and that every individual has a role to play.

Presto means Responsibility. Purple represents independence and dignity. These are the qualities needed to fulfi l our duties to the best of our ability. The House crest depicts a man supporting the world. It reminds us how we have the responsibility to “contribute as citizens of our nation and the world” to the best of our ability.

Probitas means Integrity. Blue represents peace and eternity which refl ects how integrity should be part of our lives eternally. The house crest depicts a lion, which is a symbol of justice and honesty. This is in line with the value of integrity; to be honest and upright in character.

Athenae which means Learning, is in Yellow. The word Athenae is derived from the name of the Greek goddess, Athena. Athena was the goddess of wisdom. Thus the house crest, which depicts a Greek helmet, symbolises the value of learning.

Gratia means Service. Green represents compassion and generosity. This refl ects how we should give unconditionally for the good of the community. The house crest depicts a hand with a heart within it. The idea of a heart within the hand illustrates how we should contribute to the community with an attitude of compassion and service.

Bukit Panjang Government High School has fi ve Houses: Nutrio, Presto, Probitas,

Athenae and Gratia. These names are derived from Latin and they represent our

school’s fi ve Core Values: Teamwork, Responsibility, Integrity, Learning and

Service.

Explanation of Crest:

The wings represent how the Houses will soar together with heart and soul towards excellence. All fi ve Houses are represented at the bottom of the crest, signifying teamwork and unity. The name of the respective House is stated at the top, with the English translation indicated on the shield.

CCA Recognition Scheme (for Sec 1 & 2 students)

LEAPS 2.0

Participation

This domain recognises students’ participation in one school-based1 Co-Curricular Activity (CCA). Recognition is based on the number of years of participation and exemplary conduct and active contribution2 to the CCA. Sustained engagement in the same CCA allows for progressive development of character, skills, knowledge and friendships, and will be accorded higher recognition.

Service

This domain recognises students’ development as socially responsible citizens who contribute meaningfully to the community. Every secondary school student will contribute at least 6 hours per school year to the community. They can choose to embark on a Values-in-Action project (ViA). Students will be recognised for the time they put into planning, service and refl ection, when participating in a ViA project.

Leadership

This domain recognises students’ leadership development. Recognition is accorded to students’ ability to take charge of personal development, work in a team and assume responsibilities in service of others. In addition to formal leadership appointments, participation in student leadership modules/workshops, the National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) and leadership positions in the school, CCA or student-initiated/student-led projects will also be recognised.

Achievement

This domain recognises students’ representation and accomplishment in co-curricular involvements beyond the classroom. Opportunities for representation and accomplishment present valuable learning experiences for students to learn discipline, resilience and develop their character. Students may represent the school or organisations endorsed by the school. Recognising external opportunities better caters to students’ diverse interests and talents. It also recognises the community’s role in developing the child.


1 School-based CCA refers to CCA that are organised within the school or have been endorsed by the school.2 Schools have processes in place to determine ‘exemplary conduct and active contribution’ with respect to their school’s context.



Representation refers to being selected and endorsed by the school or an organisation endorsed by the school (e.g. the community club or national association) to contribute, perform or compete. It need not be tied to his/her CCA in school.

Accomplishment refers to attaining accolades and awards at competitions, festivals, performances, exhibitions, conferences and symposiums where the student represents the school or other organisations endorsed by the school.

Recognition of Students’ Level of Attainment

At the end of the graduating year, students’ co-curricular attainment will be recognised according to Excellent/Good/Fair. The level of attainment will be converted to bonus point(s) which can be used for admission to Junior Colleges/ Polytechnics/ Institutes of Education (JC/Poly/ITE).

years can be retained for computation when the student rejoins a CCA and

fulfi ls the 75% attendance rate criterion.

An attendance rate of less than 50%, except for medical reasons, will

constitute a break in the CCA and all points accumulated up to and including

that year will be annulled.

In the above instances, the number of modules attended under the Enrichment category and the number of hours rendered to community service under the Service category will not be affected by students’ attendance rate in the main CCA.

e) Service

Service points are awarded for students’ involvement in community service according to the total number of hours spent in community service over the 4 or 5 secondary school years.

The points will then be converted to a grade accordingly.



Student Leadership DevelopmentEvery BPian, A Leader

Every BPian, A Leader. This is the philosophy of Student Leadership Development (SLD) in BPGHS. It aims to develop every BPian to be future-ready learners, who are confi dent to lead and committed to serve the nation.

Approach

The school adopts the Leadership Challenge Model (LCM) (Kouzes & Posner) in student leadership development. It aims to incorporate the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership into its training programmes, to develop in students a set of traits, competencies and behaviour necessary for one to be effective as a leader.

The Five Practices of

Exemplary Leadership® Ten Commitments

Model the Way

• Clarify values by fi nding your voice and affi rming shared ideals.

• Set the example by aligning actions with shared values.

Inspire a Shared Vision

• Envision the future by imagining exciting and ennobling possibilities.

• Enlist others in a common vision by appealing to shared aspirations.

Challenge the Process

• Search for opportunities by seizing the initiative and by looking outward for innovative ways to improve.

• Experiment and take risks by constantly generating small wins and learning from experience.

Enable Others to Act

• Foster collaboration by building trust and facilitating relationships.

• Strengthen others by increasing self determination and developing competence.

Encourage the Heart

• Recognise contributions by showing appreciation for individual excellence.

• Celebrate the values and victories by creating a spirit of community.

Opportunities and Training Programmes

The school has a structured and integrated approach which features across leadership education, leadership development and mentoring. SLD opportunities are provided for all students in each of the three tiers of leadership and not restricted to formal leadership positions. It stands on the belief that every student can make a positive difference within his/her sphere of infl uence regardless of his/her position.


Student-initiated Activities (SiA)

Student-initiated Activities (SiA) is one of the key platforms for students to develop their leadership skills. Students work in groups or as a class to propose projects in support of a good cause. SiA provides opportunities for students to build team spirit, as well as a greater appetite for risk-taking and experimentation.

BPians who are keen to make a positive impact on the lives of others in the school or community may launch an SiA project by gathering interested peers and obtaining the endorsement from the school SLD team for implementation.

Interested students can sign up on the school online platform.

Values-in-Action Programme

VALUES-IN-ACTION PROGRAMME (ViA)

Values-in-Action (ViA) are learning experiences that support students’ development as socially responsible citizens who contribute meaningfully to the community, through the learning and application of values, knowledge and skills. In BPGHS, we adopt the Service Learning approach in our ViA programme.

Approach

Service Learning combines service to the community with student learning in a way that improves both the student and community. There is an equal emphasis on helping communities and providing valid learning experiences to students.

Thus, Service-Learning is a structured approach that takes into consideration four areas:i. engaging students in service that meets real community needs,ii. identifying learning outcomes to link the students’ service experiences to the school curriculum,iii. preparing students mentally and physically for the service tasks, andiv. providing a structured process for students’ refl ections.

Platforms

ViA opportunities are provided via the following platforms:

ActivitiesNumber of points awarded for LEAPS

5 4 3 2 1

Structured Level ViA programme

Under this platform, ViA lessons are incorporated into CCE lessons for students to explore service opportunities and plan their service learning project.

CCA ViA As part of the CCA programme, students are encouraged to organize at least one ViA activity to contribute to the community.

Student-Initiated Activities (SiA) Platform

Students are encouraged to use this platform to champion a social cause they are passionate about. Student initiators can receive guidance and support from the teacher mentors. Through this platform, students can develop their confi dence, initiative, commitment and willingness to serve the community.

Elective ViA Students who wish to contribute to the society but may not be able to so extensively on the SiA platform are encouraged to sign up for Elective ViA opportunities (e.g. fl ag days, community projects) on the online platform so that they can still contribute to better the lives of others, in any way they can.

CCA points
