Bukit View Secondary School

14 August 2026 was a special evening for the Bukit View Secondary School Choir as we reunited with Meridian Secondary and Jurong Secondary for an unforgettable performance at the School of the Arts (SOTA).

Under the theme “The Music’s Always There”, the three choirs came together to celebrate the power of music to transcend cultures and bring people together. From rhythmic African songs and Malay folk songs to the heartfelt Japanese farewell song, Niji, the audience was taken on a vibrant musical journey across cultures.
As the final notes rang out, we left with cherished memories and music in our hearts.

Our heartfelt thanks go to our teachers, school leaders, choir members and supporters for making this collaboration possible.

Here’s to the joy of singing, the bonds of friendship and the music that’s always there.

A sea of red and white filled the parade square as Bukit Viewans came together to celebrate Singapore’s 61st birthday with pride, spirit and enthusiasm.

The morning took centre stage with a stirring ceremonial parade by the National Cadet Corps (Land), National Police Cadet Corps, and Boys' and Girls’ Brigades. As the Singapore flag flew high, Bukit Viewans stood tall and united, reciting the National Pledge and singing the National Anthem with gusto — a powerful reminder of our shared values, identity and commitment to the nation.

The celebrations continued in the classrooms, where students reflected on the values embodied in the National Pledge, before heading to the hall for a musical journey through Singapore’s rich heritage. Local singing group Lim Teh Peng brought students through songs from different eras, offering glimpses into the stories and cultural influences that have shaped our musical landscape.

The day closed on a heartfelt note with a rendition of Home, as voices rang out in unison to celebrate the nation we proudly call home.

Happy 61st Birthday, Singapore!

Weeks of rehearsals, countless run-throughs and endless rounds of "one more time!" have paid off — our Bukit View Concert Band has clinched a Bronze Award at the Singapore International Band Festival (SIBF) 2026!

Congratulations to our talented musicians for their dedication, perseverance and teamwork throughout this incredible journey. Every rehearsal, every challenge and every performance brought them one step closer to this achievement.

A heartfelt thank you to our teachers, instructors, families and supporters for encouraging and believing in the band every step of the way.

Well done, BV Concert Band! Here's to making more music, creating more memories and reaching even greater milestones together.

This term, the Bukit View Choir had the privilege of hosting a Choir Exchange Programme with the choirs from Chung Cheng High School (Yishun), Meridian Secondary School and Jurong Secondary School.

The programme brought together young choristers for a day of learning, collaboration, and music-making. Through engaging workshops led by experienced instructors, students honed their harmony singing, breathing techniques, and vocal skills. The exchange culminated in rehearsals of 'Peribahasa' and 'The Music's Always There', where participants showcased their growth in confidence, musicality and ensemble performance.

Beyond developing their choral skills, students forged new friendships, exchanged ideas, and deepened their shared passion for music, making the programme a truly enriching and memorable experience.

Literature students do more than read and analyse poetry—they demonstrate the critical thinking, eloquence, and intellectual rigour that make for compelling debaters.

"This poem is not meant to be taken seriously" and "This poem is a poem of despair" were just two of the thought-provoking motions our Upper Secondary Literature students tackled at the National Schools Literature Festival.

Both our Secondary Three and Secondary Four Literature teams displayed exceptional wit, adaptability, and incisive literary analysis, emerging as Opposing Champions in the Upper Secondary Unseen Poetry Debate Competition.

The festival ended on a high as our students celebrated their well-deserved success, with trophies recognising their teamwork, resilience, and excellence in literary debate. Their achievement is a testament to their dedication, quick thinking, and ability to build persuasive arguments under pressure.

Congratulations to both teams on this outstanding accomplishment!

Shaving Heads, Raising Hope!

For the first time, Bukit View Secondary School proudly took part in the Hair for Hope fundraising event in support of the Children's Cancer Foundation.

As one of our 40 Acts of Service to commemorate our 40th Anniversary, 12 courageous shavees, cheered on by their families, friends and members of the Bukit View community, took to the stage at Vivocity on 25 July to shave their heads in a powerful show of solidarity with children battling cancer.

We are delighted to share that, together with the generosity of our school community and supporters, we have surpassed our fundraising target of $20,000! 🎉 Every dollar raised will go towards supporting children with cancer and their families through the Children's Cancer Foundation.

A heartfelt thank you to our shavees, donors, supporters and everyone who made this meaningful milestone possible. Your kindness and generosity have truly demonstrated what it means to be an empathetic citizen.

Missed the chance to contribute? There is still time! Donations remain open until 16 August. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.

A little laughter goes a long way!

Our teachers took a well-earned break from the demands of the school term to relax, recharge and enjoy an afternoon of fun together. Whether they were serving up exciting pickleball rallies, baking delicious egg tarts, designing watercolour posters, challenging one another over board games or learning the art of crocheting, there was something for everyone.

Beyond the fun, the staff bonding session was a wonderful opportunity to relieve stress, strengthen friendships and create lasting memories. Refreshed and re-energised, our teachers are ready to take on the rest of the term—together.

BVSS celebrated Racial Harmony Day as students, staff and Parent Support Group came together in a vibrant showcase of Singapore's rich multicultural heritage, dressed in a colourful array of traditional attire.

Students participated in hands-on cultural experiences, including calligraphy and kolam art, gaining a deeper appreciation of the traditions and artistic expressions that make up our diverse society.

The celebration culminated in a lively assembly programme featuring captivating multicultural dance performances that highlighted the beauty of our shared heritage. Students also took to the stage to demonstrate what they had learnt, reflecting their enthusiasm, confidence and appreciation for the different cultures that enrich our community.

Our Student Forum this year, an enhanced version of the previous Staff–Student Dialogue, featured a refreshed format centred on strengthening student voice and student leadership. Bringing together students from all four levels, it provided a valuable platform for them to share their perspectives, contribute ideas, and play an active role in shaping various aspects of school life.

Through meaningful and constructive discussions, the school management and Student Council engaged with the concerns and suggestions raised, working together to identify improvements that would enhance the school experience. The forum reaffirmed our commitment to building a supportive and inclusive school culture where student voice is heard, student leadership is nurtured, and meaningful ideas are translated into action.

Last Friday, Bukit View proudly hosted our Student Environmental Leadership Conference (SELC) 2026, welcoming primary school participants for a meaningful day of learning, collaboration and environmental action.

Our student leaders rose to the occasion with confidence and professionalism as they guided participants through a series of engaging activities. A highlight of the day was the Amazing Race, where teams discovered the importance of environmental conservation through lively interaction. The energy continued at the Design Thinking Workshop, where participants collaborated to devise innovative solutions to real-world sustainability challenges.

The conference concluded with a prize presentation recognising the outstanding efforts of the winning teams. More importantly, everyone left inspired with fresh perspectives, lasting friendships, and a stronger commitment to protecting the environment—making SELC 2026 a truly rewarding and memorable experience for all.
