We carry out interactive sessions - sports and game session - as well as providing academic help for the students who are enrolled in the mentoring scheme by their schools.

-Zhangde Primary School
-Qifa Primary School
-Family Service Center

We also organise community service programmes for the other mentors who do not belong to any of the two primary schools.
-eg: KidsREAD program

Mentors

We, as mentors, do not solely give free tuition, neither do we solely counsel the students. The difference between tutoring and mentoring is that while tutoring emphasizes greatly on helping the student in getting better academic results, mentoring emphasizes character development above all else. Our job as mentors is to grow and progress along with our mentees, be their big brother or sister, someone other than their family or teachers.


Now, in SP BP Mentoring Club, we have 2 primary schools for our mentoring sessions.

Zhangde Primary School
On 30th Dec 2004, Zhangde Primary School moved to its new location at 51 Jalan Membina. Zhangde Primary School was previously at Jalan Bukit Merah.

Qifa Primary School
Qifa is located along West Coast Road somewhere near Kent Ridge Secondary School. Qifa Primary School & Jintai Primary School have merged which explains the change of school. However, the session will still function as per normal.

Queenstown Family Service Centre (FSC)

FSC is a different mentoring school from the rest we're currently undertaking. It functions on a daily basis (mentors only need to select 1 day to mentor) at 4.30pm - 6pm & the children comes from Primary 1 to Primary 6. It's 5 minutes walk away from Commonwealth MRT station!

KidsREAD Program
KidsREAD program is launch at end of 2004. The mentees mostly from Primary 1 to Primary 2. The enjoyable 45 mins of reading time with the mentees will enchance their speech, followed by 45 mins of interacting and bonding while playing board games and drawing.
