BGSS was officially opened on 4 July 2003 by the then Minister of State, Mr Raymond Lim.[1] Its campus consists of six blocks around a garden, a multi-purpose hall, seven computer labs, a shooting range, several science labs, two design and technology workshops, a canteen, a library, a dance studio, some 40 classrooms, and a Pupil Activity Centre (PAC).[2] There is a parade square, where students gather every morning for a compulsory flag-raising ceremony.
Bedok Green Secondary School caters for students who are enrolled in the Normal (Technical), Normal (Academic) and Express streams. Students studying the Express stream syllabus will eventually sit for their GCE 'O' Level examination after four years. Those studying the Normal (Academic)/Normal (Technical) syllabus will also sit for their GCE 'N' level examination after four years.
The BGSS school logo depicts a bamboo plant inside a diamond.
The diamond represents its pupils, who start off as rough stones and are polished by the school to finally become precious jewels.
The bamboo represents the qualities the school stands by:
The School's Mission: "To provide a nurturing environment where students are imbued with sound values, a passion for learning and confidence to face future challenges."
The School's Vision: "A School of Choice and A Community of Life-Long Learners"
We are undeterred by failure or setbacks. Instead we have the strength and tenacity to persevere and pursue our goals.
We demonstrate honesty and uprightness through word and deed.
We feel for and show care and concern for one another.
We take pride in our strengths while being modest in our behaviour and attitude.
Grow in strength and unity,
Bending with humility and grace
Like new diamonds honed to blaze,
We believe and strive and praise
As knowledge we embrace
