The Girls’ Brigade 44th Singapore Company

1. The Girls’ Brigade is a uniformed organization approved by the Ministry of Education. The Brigade provides leadership training as well as to teach responsible attitudes and behaviour. The mission of the Brigade is “To make every girl a leader and every officer a servant leader”. We work closely with our sponsoring church and the Girls' Brigade HQ to organize activities for our students throughout the year.

2. The Brigade provides a wholesome four-fold programme concerned with the physical, educational, social and spiritual development of the members. Under Physical Programme, the girls develop physical skills such as Basic and Creative drill, Kayaking, Rock-climbing, In-line skating and tent-pitching, just to name a few.

Through the Educational Programme, the girls have the opportunity to cultivate meaningful pursuits and acquire knowledge and skills such as Tambourine, Knot Tying, Skipping and Map-reading.

In the Social Programme, the girls learn to understand themselves in relation to others through the Healthy Attitudes badgework. They learn to be of service at home, to the society and the nation.

Though the Spiritual Programme, the girls learn and inculcate sound values that will anchor them in their relationship with others and their responses to issues that confront them. While the nature of the activities may vary from year to year, they aim to fulfil the same outcomes of each programme.

3. Some of the activities included in our weekly programme would be singing sessions, games, community service, footdrill sessions and experiential learning. Girls will work for badges in subjects such as Healthy Attitudes, Brigade Knowledge, First Aid and many other aspects of life.

4. Students will have Company meetings held every Monday and Wednesday from 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm in Springfield Secondary School. Saturday meetings are held on a as needed basis. The Brigade also organises outings and training camps throughout the year especially during the school holidays.
