About CCA
BB Motto: Sure and Steadfast
The Boys’ Brigade Movement has been in Singapore since 1930. Queenstown Primary School is proud to be the hosting school for the 67J Singapore Company. To achieve the objectives of the Boys’ Brigade, the boys engage in meaningful programmes so that they can lead and serve. The boys are actively guided by teachers and adult volunteers from our partner Church, the Church of the Good Shepherd. Although a Christian-based CCA, we welcome boys of any religion.
We pay great emphasis to the character and physical well-being of our boys. Each boy develops the habit of discipline, self-respect, teamwork and service.
Experiences
- Foot drills (self-discipline, teamwork)
- Outdoor adventure skills (problem-solving, resourcefulness)
- Bible-based values and character-building lessons (values and character education)
- Games (physical and mental well-being)
Confident Individual
Students learn about values to shape them into responsible and caring young teens. They learn more about their own strengths and weaknesses and learn to be more disciplined.
Caring Citizen
Students learn to take care of one another in the CCA group. Every year, we participate in BB Care, which is the community service activity for the Boys’ Brigade. In recent years, our boys have been going to nursing homes to visit the residents, as well as packing and distributing essentials for migrant workers with their parents during the end-of-year school-based camp.
Effective Leader
Most BB activities are done in group settings where students learn to work with one another to achieve the goals. Competitions like Adventure Quest and Character Quest also promote team efforts, where communication and collaboration between members of the team are key areas for success.
Platforms available in Boys' Brigade
Adventure Quest, Character Quest, camps, service work (e.g. BB Care, visit to nursing homes), flag bearers for School National Day Commemoration, BB Week fund raising.
