  1. Learning For Life Programme (LLP)

Broadrick Secondary School's LLP aims to nurture Grateful, Respectful, and Compassionate (GRC) Leaders through service in the community. It takes reference from our school’s GRC Values and is aligned to the school’s mission of nurturing Broadricians to be future-ready learners with strength of character.

 We have themes for the different levels to expose students to the different areas of service.

  • In Secondary 1, the theme is on environment, and students learn about community needs through information shared by the Municipal Services Office (MSO). They then take action to address these needs. Collaborating with our partner school Dunman High, the Sec 1 students are rostered by class to maintain the cleanliness of our neighbourhood. In the process, they learn to be respectful towards the cleaners and grateful for the clean environment they live in.

  • In the Secondary 2 Values In Action (VIA) experience, the theme is on youth, and our students design, plan, and host students from Kong Hwa School for a day of enriching and fun activities.

  • For the Sec 3 VIA whereby the theme is on elderly, the school partners ActiveSG for the students to conduct modified sports activities for the elderly. All these level-based VIA experiences avail opportunities for students to develop their identity, character and leadership qualities.  We want our students to learn to understand the needs of the elderly living in the vicinity and to develop compassion and emotional connection with those whom they serve, which include the younger peers in kindergarten and primary schools.  As they develop their social emotional competencies, they also have a greater sense of purpose and in control of their own learning, thereby strengthening their personal and interpersonal leadership qualities.

 Selection Process
Factors considered by school:

  • Are actively involved in community service

  • Demonstrate initiative and passion in contributing to their community

  • Lead Values In Action (VIA) projects in primary schools
