Care and Discipline
School Rules and Regulations
In Bowen, we strive to create a caring and vibrant learning environment for Bowenians to ‘Do Well and Do Good’. Our rules and regulations describe the standard of conduct and behaviour expected of our students at all times. Our end-goal is to guide our students to cultivate core values and habits and to become self-disciplined individuals of good character, which is integral for growth and maturity.

Care and Support
Bowen Care and Well-Being (updated 2024)
We aim to nurture future-ready Bowenians who are self-disciplined individuals of sound character and caring peers. The growing-up years is rife with many new challenges. However, surmounting them together with supportive peers can turn these challenges into welcomed and fun opportunities for growth. So Bowenians, navigate your Bowen Experience (BE) with your peers as a cohesive team while seeking always to develop a strong sense of personal well-being and confidence.
To navigate your Bowen Experience confidently, the school encourages you to embrace a set of learning routines, R-E-A-D-Y BE! These routines will prime your mind to practise good habits that will help you succeed as you immerse yourself in your school experiences with enthusiasm and daring.
Bowen Peer Support and Relationships (PSR) @ Level 1
Building positive peer relationships is crucial aspect of your BE. Every Bowenian should strive to be a caring peer supporter and confident up-stander who helps make Bowen a caring and enabling school environment. So, build a supportive network of diverse friends from your form class, teaching groups as well as CCAs. Advocate each other’s well-being and safety as you forge meaningful bonds with each other.
Within your network of supportive friends, exercise positive peer influencing, peer bonding and peer helping. For example, when your peers have concerns, personal troubles or are bullied, reach out to them. Be by their side and notify a teacher to further extend help and support to your friend.

Peer Support & Relationships (PSR), FCBT & CAREbean Programme
In 2024, look out for a series fun-filled activities that await you. The Student Well-Being Teachers and your Peer Support Leaders (PSLs) will drive many peer bonding activities throughout the year like your Friday Class Bonding Time (FCBT) and our twice weekly, after-school CAREbean Programme, which will be available both as a face-to-face and online event.
For our face-to-face CAREbean Programme, anticipate using new recreational facilities like our pool table, gaming consoles and board games. Do register ahead of time before you drop by our CAREbean Corner (which is just next to the front of the hall, on the right, along the corridor). Please note that the number of students allowed at the CARE-bean may be limited twenty to adhere to safe management measures.
On our CAREbean days (Monday and Thursdays), our Student Well-Being Teachers and PSLs will be stationed at the CAREbean Corner. If you need a Care Chat, simply walk in for a chat.
