CARE-Force
What do you do with 13-year-olds who have no adult
supervision at home? These students need a warm
and supportive environment to become responsible
adults.
At Bedok North Secondary, there is a special programme,
code-named 'CARE-Force', which looks after such
students. Their base is a special room within the
school where experiences are shared and training
is conducted by social workers. The students are
given opportunities to grow at their own pace and
learn through interacting with and serving the elderly
at the Lion's Home for the Elderly.
Mission Possible
In 1997, Bedok North Secondary School embarked on
the Youth Enrichment Programme with the Association
of Muslim Professionals (AMP) for secondary one
Malay-Muslim students. These students are mainly
from the Normal Academic and Normal Technical classes.
It is a weekly 4-hour programme held on Saturdays
from 2.30pm to 6.30pm - 2 hours tuition and 2 hours
recreational activities. During the holidays, non-school
activities such as the Self-Discovery Camp, Soccer
Camp and excursions are held. The outcomes are improvement
in students' behaviour and academic performance,
a strong camaraderie, and greater love for and bonding
with the school and AMP youth leaders.
