Every Child Matters in Bendemeer!

A wide variety of after-school programmes are organised to cater to the different needs of individual students. In a summary, the school looked at four aspects of development in our students. They are:
1. Cognitive
2. Socio-Emotional
3. Physical
4. Aesthetic

For cognitive development, KidsREAD programme aims to build good reading habits in our lower primary students and build up their vocabulary. The P1 and P2 Numeracy Enrichment Programme aims to boost the confidence and motivation of these students in Mathematics through the use of games and activities.

For the upper primary students, Heartware Tuition and Mendaki Tuition Programme provide academic support for these students with regards to any subject concepts they are unsure about and build on their readiness for the upcoming PSLE.

For Socio-Emotional development, NURTURE programme organised by the CDC aims to cultivate confidence in the students. They also learn the importance of effective communication and problem solving skills.

For physical development, the school organised the Fun with Kinball Programme. This programme allows students to learn self-discipline and communication skills through interactive activities.

Nurture Tier 1 and 2 programme

The Nurture Tier 1 and 2 programme is conducted in partnership with Central CDC. Nurture is an initiative under SkillsFuture Junior which aims to provide learning opportunities for children and expose them to future-ready skills sets. The Tier 1 and 2 programmes are for Lower Primary and Middle Primary respectively.

The Nurture Communication Module aims to develop the children’s 21st Century Competencies.

Lessons designed are interactive and activity-based. We hope to achieve the following learning outcomes :

• Build confidence as communicators;
• Develop as effective problem solvers;
• Become motivated and self-directed learners
