12 Sep 2022
The ninth power of 1 is not a mere mathematical equation, but a diverse range of responses discovered by inquisitive students during their first week of school,
and the ‘firsts’ that unfold when teachers and learners collaborate to unlock new horizons.
Join us as we turn the lens toward their first recollections of life on campus.
New uniforms and new campus
A new school day started in high spirits
On a radiant morning, the first day of school commenced. Students bid farewell to their parents, donned in crisp, brand-new school uniforms. The Principals and teachers arrived early, ready to cheer on each and every student.
It marked the beginning of a fresh chapter in the academic calendar as the founding students of BBSG embarked on their new studying journey.
New teachers and fresh knowledge
Learning in an exploratory bilingual classroom
The school schedules eight classes each day. Students transition from one classroom to another, enriching their knowledge base.
They eagerly raise their hands and actively participate in vibrant discussions. Their minds collide, sparking a burst of innovative ideas.
In science class, they embarked on their first static electricity experiment, collaboratively illuminating the light bulb held in the teacher's hand.
During PE class, they made their debut in the new swimming lanes, gliding through the water with the grace of fish, creating ripples akin to a wave.
In art class, they marveled at each other's paintings for the very first time, exchanging inspiration within the vibrant world of art.

Achieving breakthrough, unlocking a plethora of new skills, daring to take on challenges in diverse domains, students quietly establish their initial goals for the upcoming semester... We look forward to your fruitful achievements!
New classmates and a new life
Let’s grow together
On the eve of the first school day, the warm, inviting, healthy, and secure environment of ‘De Lodge’ greeted its very first group of ‘family members’ with open arms.
Boarding students organized their personal belongings by themselves, proactively initiated conversations with their new roommates, bid farewell to their parents, and embraced their new life in this ‘second home’.
Lunchtime at BBSG provides a wonderful opportunity for socialising around the table.Teachers and students momentarily set aside their teaching and studying duties to savor a wholesome and delectable meal while exchanging stories from their day!
Raising the National Flag with patriotic sentiments
Outside the classroom, we saw another side of BBSG students
They are courageous, and their eyes ablaze with determination—
During the inaugural flag-raising ceremony, two elementary school student representatives delivered a speech under the national flag, focusing on one of the school's eight core values, ‘Openness.’
With resounding voices and eloquent words, they articulated their individual visions and aspirations for the future of the school.
"A new school heralds a fresh journey; a blank canvas holds a new dream. At BBSG, we shall grow more knowledgeable and contemplative, more confident and self-reliant. Like joyful birds, here we can unfurl our wings and soar into broader horizons. Like exuberant sailboats, from here we can begin a voyage across the vast ocean. Dear fellow students, let us set sailing hand in hand, fuelled by our dreams."
In the first week of school, BBSG students have shown themselves to be resilient learners capable of embracing a wide range of perspectives, each marked by their strong personalities.
They excel as fluent bilingual communicators in the classroom.
They embody the spirit of inquiry in the laboratory, demonstrating a keen thirst for knowledge.
They serve as the pillars of support in the lives of those around them, offering help when it's needed.
And they possess a realm of untapped potential that exceeds our wildest imagination.
As the school year begins, they have opened the door for us to envision the future of education.
