Key Achievements and Activities

Code for Fun for Secondary 1
This programme is a set of hands-on-mind-on lessons that reinforce the learning of STEM concepts in the classroom. The use of M5GO Microcontrollers in learning enables the student to “see, feel, touch, control, and imagine”.

Smart City Project for Secondary 2
In Sec 2, students built on what they have learnt in Sec 1 Joules.  Students learnt how to interface micro:bit with sensor:bit and other external input and output devices. The students then apply what they have learnt in creating their smart cities projects.

Enrichment for Students Taking Computer Applications
In the Scratch workshop, Secondary Two students dived into the world of interactive game creation using the Scratch platform. They brought their ideas to life by building engaging projects like a movement-chasing game and a thrilling fruit machine game. Along the way, they gained valuable hands-on experience in game development, sharpening their coding skills and unleashing their creativity.

The Secondary Three students participated in a Tello drones workshop, where they learned the basics of drone operation, including First-Person View (FPV) flying and programming drones for autonomous flight using the DroneBlocks app. The workshop concluded with an exciting course challenge that allowed students to test and showcase their drone control skills.

Enrichment for Computing students
Our drone enrichment workshop for Secondary Three Computing students provided students with a hands-on introduction to drone technology and programming. Participants learned the basics of the Tello drone, setting up a development environment using Python and the djitellopy library. By the end of the workshop, they had practiced essential commands to control drone movement, programming the drones to take off, land, and navigate simple flight patterns. The experience also introduced students to AI tasks, such as face tracking, where they successfully programmed the drones to autonomously follow a face. This workshop equipped students with foundational skills in drone operation and programming, sparking interest in further exploration of drone technology.

Notable achievements

Three of our Secondary 4 students (Moiz from 4G, Rui Zhi from 4F, and Shawn from 4F) embarked on a learning journey to BSM Singapore to explore the maritime industry. During this experience, they participated in the selection process for the Global Online Maritime Innovation Hackathon, jointly organized by Junior Achievement and BSM. Out of 20 teams, Bukit View Secondary was one of four teams selected to represent Singapore. Partnered with students from Cyprus, they worked together online to develop a solution for the challenge statement: “Develop an innovative business idea on how AI can transform the work of maritime professionals for the better.” We are proud to announce that the BVSS-Cyprus team emerged as the winner of the challenge. Their winning idea was a mental health wellness platform tailored for seafarers, using AI and telehealth to support mental health through screening and identifying those needing assistance.

ICTXPLORE was a two-day workshop at Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP), featuring competitive elements in Data Science, Cybersecurity, and Digital Forensics. A total of 15 students participated during the September school holidays. One of our teams, consisting of Janelle Ong (4D), Ye Wen Kai (3G), Lee Jung Kye (2C), and Joben Ong (2C), secured third place.

The Animation and Game Making Competition, organized by MOE, invites secondary schools offering Computer Applications to submit their best Secondary 2 animation and Secondary 3 game to compete with top entries from other schools. Our Secondary 2 representative, Sharlyn Ong Jia Yi, achieved the prestigious Platinum award, which is given to the top three of the ten Gold awardees. To receive this honor, students undergo an interview conducted by representatives from NIE and MOE.

Additionally, Bukit View Secondary earned the Sustained Gold award, presented to schools that have achieved three consecutive years of Gold awards. We are proud to be the only school to have earned this recognition for 2024.

Gibson Bong Hoong Nien (4G) achieved a Silver award, and Gordon Lim De Yuan (4F) received a Participation award in the National Olympiad in Informatics 2024.

Chow Li Shiuan Alina (S3-E), Htet Aung Hlaing (S3-F), Lim Kai Jie Cayden (S3-F), Leo Kang Jie, Louis (S3-F) and Javier Tan Tze Heng (S3-F) represented the school in the BBSS X SCOGA Campus Legend Competition 2022. They emerged Champion out of 34 schools represented.

Ho Li Shan (S2-E) represented the school in the Animation and Game Making Competition 2022 organised by CPDD Computing unit and achieved Platinum which the top three entries out of 82 entries.
