Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to our Bedok Green Primary School website. Nestled right in the heart of the Bedok neighbourhood, Bedok Green Primary School is a perfect reflection of the microcosm of what Singapore society is all about – a very good mix of students of all races, cultures, demographics and family backgrounds. Located on the ‘equator’ between the north and south of Bedok along New Upper Changi Road, our school is easily accessible by both Bedok and Tanah Merah MRT stations, as well as bus stops that are fully connected by sheltered walkways. As such, many of our BGPians come from the beautiful estates in the surrounding areas, from the nearby Bedok HDB blocks, the East Coast, Siglap and Frankel regions in the south, as well as the Fengshan and Chai Chee regions in the north. With our distinctive school programmes, strategically designed curriculum, passionate and caring teachers, allied educators and non-teaching staff, modern infrastructure and well-equipped and facilities, parents and stakeholders often compliment the school for truly embodying the tenet of ‘Every School, A Good School’.

As Principal, I am pleased to continue with the good work that my predecessors Mr Lee Yin Hin (2002 – 2008), Mrs Sita Singh (2009 – 2015), and Mrs Celine Ng Kim Choo (2016 – 2019) had done to build our school from strength to strength over the past two decades. 2026 will be a significant one for BGPS as we will be celebrating our school’s 25^th Anniversary, culminating with our milestone celebration on Friday, 29 May 2026, for BGPians, staff, alumni, parents and school partners. Indeed, there is much to be grateful for in the past 25 years of BGPS’ existence and evolution, from its infancy when the school’s foundations had to be re-established after merger between Bedok View Primary School and Bedok South Primary school, to our current reputation of being a school that brings out every child’s personal best. BGPS has come a long way since then, having implemented our very own Total Curriculum Framework over the last few years to meet the diverse needs of our BGPians, through the provision of a wide array of programmes that seeks to stretch BGPians and fulfil their potential. This includes our signature Applied Learning Programme in Environmental Education (E2@BGPS) and Learning for Life Programme in Sports and aesthetics To ReInforce Values Education (STRIVE), which will see further iterations in its curriculum to strengthen the development of emerging 21^st Century Competencies (e21CC) like critical, adaptive and inventive thinking as well as collaborative skills, which are vital for BGPians to thrive in the real world. Our Student Leadership Programme will also continue to be strengthened through the 7 Habits and The Leader in Me curriculum to deepen BGPians’ leadership and problem-solving abilities, confidence, and to be advocates for civic issues that resonate strongly with them. Our Overseas Learning Experience (OLE) Programme has also been established with partner schools in Mihama Town (Japan), Chengdu and Hong Kong (China), as well as Nantou (Taiwan), and we will be looking forward to reinforcing cross-cultural and global literacies amongst BGPians through the provision of such rich student-exchange opportunities. Finally, our High Ability Learners’ Programme will be strengthened, be it in English Debate training, Chinese Language Reporter Programme, E2K Mathematics and E2K Science with Mathematics & Science Olympiad training programmes, Green Makers Programme, and Artist In School Scheme. Rounded up by our standardized MOE core learning subjects and our wide array of CCAs across sports, performing arts, uniformed groups and clubs, our Total Curriculum has proven to be effective in leading BGPians towards our school vision of Empowered Learners, Persons of Strength and Character, with inculcation of the five school values of Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Resilience and Compassion as a base.

We have witnessed how our curriculum has started to bear fruit through tangible student outcomes recently – our very first Lee Kuan Yew All Round Excellence Awardee in Matthew Loi Hao Zhe – our 2023 President of the Student Council, our very first Singapore Silent Hero Awardee in Ansh Kejriwal, who was our 2025 President of the Student Council, as well as our second Singapore Silent Hero Awardee in Cayen Lee Ruizhe (4 Compassion/2025). I am also delighted to congratulate all our recently-graduated 2025 BGPians for sustaining our excellent PSLE results. While academic excellence is important, holistic development beyond the academics is even more so. We have introduced the pinnacle BGPian awards since 2020 to recognize BGPians not only in academic excellence, but in sports excellence, aesthetics excellence, leadership excellence, and most importantly, character and citizenship excellence, to whom the BGPian of the Year will be awarded. I am especially proud of our outgoing Vice-President of the Student Council, Lim Yee Jie (6 Integrity/2025) for being the winner of the 2025 BGPian of the Year Award, which represents the epitome of what we desire for all BGPians to be – embracing and demonstrating a balanced and holistic approach towards education, being an empowered leader in his field, constantly guiding and inspiring others towards achieving excellence, and using his talents to serve the school and community. In addition, I wish to congratulate the following BGPians for attaining the other pinnacle awards: Ryan Tan Wei Zher  (6 Integrity/2025) for Sports Excellence, Chen Ruoqi (6 Integrity/2025), Sharifah Sorfinah Binte Syed Muhamad Faizal (6 Compassion/2025) and Yvonne Chen Yan Xi (6 Responsibility/2025) for Aesthetics Excellence, Ansh Kejriwat (6 Integrity/2025) for Leadership Excellence, and Ong Ming Kai (6 Respect/2025), Poh Lu Eng (6 Bravery) and Azaan Khan Bin Mohamed Rafi Khan (6 Respect/2025) for the Warrior Award, for being inspirations to the BGPS community by demonstrating remarkable perseverance and resilience, and overcoming difficult circumstances and personal challenges to do well. Azaan was featured in the media for his resilience and ability to persevere in the midst of challenges, and his heartwarming story can be found here ↗ (opens in new tab) and here ↗ (opens in new tab)together with media stories here ↗ (opens in new tab) and here ↗ (opens in new tab)of our previous BGPians of the Year, Gan Xuan Ee and Matthew Loi respectively. Ong Zee Xuan (6 Respect/2025) was also the winner of the Malathi Das Bilingual Award for excelling in both the English and Mother Tongue Languages.

All these sterling outcomes and achievements attest not only to the splendid efforts and hard work of our students, but equally significantly, the strong support, dedication and guidance given by all our staff, and the committed school-home partnership with our BGPian parents. My wish is for success to breed success, and that even when the chips are down and the challenges are high, our BGPians will remain steadfast and resilient in the fight to overcome difficulties, with the school and home playing a critical role in cheering them on along the journey.

In conclusion, my staff and I look forward to working with you and your child in the new school year. We extend our warmest welcome to all BGPians for an exciting time of learning and growth, and specially embrace with open arms all new BGPians who have chosen to make Bedok Green Primary School their second home. For our new Primary Ones, my staff have specially planned a four-day orientation programme to help them set goals and adapt to school routines and expectations. I am sure that they will find the orientation beneficial as they make new friends and discover that Bedok Green staff are caring and nurturing. Should you have any feedback to help us improve in our processes or affirm our practices, you may also write to us at bgps@moe.edu.sg ↗ (opens in new tab) or call us at 64425416. Looking forward to an even more exciting and empowering 2026 adventure ahead as we seek to embody our school motto, Persevere and Succeed!
