Creating a Caring and Enabling School Environment for All At BRPS

We create opportunities for every student to exercise student agency and positively influence others through compassionate action and responsible leadership.

Our Approach to Student Discipline

The school's character development programme – Leader in Me – centres on Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Happy Kids and The Virtues Project. Through this programme, we instil self-discipline in our students by guiding them to embody virtues for personal growth and interpersonal effectiveness.

Furthermore, we support the development of students’ social and emotional skills as well as those with learning and behavioural needs through multi-pronged values-based approaches. These approaches along with a positive, educative and restorative approach to discipline ensure that our students stay healthy and positive and are competent and confident to achieve success in school.\

BRPS START RIGHT PROGRAMME

The BRPS Start RIGHT Programme sets the tone for the new academic year. Through this key annual initiative, form teachers engage students in purposeful activities centred on student wellness, classroom management, and the building of positive relationships — all in service of a conducive learning environment for every child.

Students take part in a curated range of activities designed to build rapport with their peers and teachers, and to establish shared goals and expectations.

Among these is the Good Words Campaign, which champions the use of kind and affirming language in everyday interactions.

To be more purposeful in their planning of activities beyond school hours, students are also mentored by their teachers to plan a schedule that not only consists of homework and revisions, but one that also champions good practice of self-care.

The RISE Student Leadership Programme

At Blangah Rise Primary School, The RISE Student Leadership Programme develops every child to lead with Respect, Integrity, Self-Discipline and Empathy. Through a whole-school, tiered approach, students grow in self-leadership, take on class and school leadership roles, and, for some, progress to the highest levels of student leadership.

The programme is anchored by the RISE Student Leadership Pyramid and the RISE Student Leadership Framework. Students are progressively developed through class roles, school appointments, coaching, reflection and authentic opportunities to lead, serve and contribute to a caring and influence others through compassionate action and responsible leadership.

Leadership development is further strengthened through our Learning for Life Programme (LLP), where students develop eco-stewardship, student voice and the emerging 21CC. Through meaningful projects, school platforms and guided experiences, students learn to communicate confidently, work with others, take initiative and contribute purposefully to the school and community.

Learning Through Collaborations

The school partners external organisations to develop leadership, communication, and adaptive skills in student leaders. Through collaborative projects, the school empowers them to address environmental challenges with creativity and adaptability. The school has collaborated with partners such as the Public Transport Council (PTC) and Raffles’ Girls School (RGS) . Student Leaders are provided with authentic learning experiences through waste contamination study within the school and curated learning journeys to recycling related facilities.

The student leaders front storytelling sessions beyond schools such as pre-school, giving them platforms to hone their communication skills & civic literacy in an authentic manner. Following such storytelling sessions, our student leaders and teachers would also lead participants in a hands-on art and craft session where they create their own art masterpieces using recycled materials. Student Leaders participate enthusiastically in the preparatory stage – props making – and it has also sparked their interest to learn more about the environment and biodiversity, and how they can play a part in caring for Mother Earth.

Growing Eco-Stewardship

Our student leaders take their environmental advocacy beyond the classroom, leading storytelling sessions at pre-schools and other community spaces to champion causes close to the earth. These sessions give them authentic platforms to hone their communication skills and civic literacy, inspiring young audiences to care for the environment and appreciate biodiversity.

The Eco-Stewards also lead participants in hands-on art and craft sessions, where creations are made entirely from recycled materials – turning sustainability into a lived experience. From crafting props to preparing session materials, their deep involvement in every stage of the process has further ignited their passion for environmental stewardship and their commitment to caring for Mother Earth.
