Cohort Motto

Grow and Embrace Change to become a Masterpiece

In Bowen, we believe each student is unique and is able to shine in his or her own ways. Given the appropriate rigour and support, every student is a valuable Gem and can become a Masterpiece.

The Cohort Motto is for each student to Grow and Embrace Change in their secondary school years and become a Masterpiece (a work of  outstanding artistry) when they leave Bowen.

The Crown you see in the logo is our reinterpretation of a masterpiece. It’s a symbolic crown for the students to work towards to and claim as they accomplish personal growth and goals in their Secondary School years.

Cohort Theme

The cohort theme is based on our reinterpretation of the novel Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum: we envision our Sec 1 students, whom we will affectionately call “GEMies” in the “Land of Bowen”.

With the support of their guardians, their teachers, and a pair of Ruby sneakers  – a Growth Mindset - our GEMies will be empowered to reach their final destination - Emerald City.

Along their ‘yellow brick road’, our GEMies will experience their academic studies, CCAs and enrichment programmes to  discover their strengths, embrace change and diversity and forge strong friendships with other GEMies they meet along their journey.

At the end of their Bowen journey, our aim is for our GEMies to shine brilliantly, being imbued with deep life skills and lifelong learning skills, becoming a Masterpiece in his/her own right.

Class Names

The classes will be named after gems with the acronym “To SPARKLE” as we believe each class is a gem of its own and will sparkle in its unique way. These gems are:

Topaz, Sapphire, Peridot, Amethyst, Ruby, Kunzite, Larimar and Emerald.
