NBSS aims to be a caring school for our community to live, work and play in, where the human character flourishes.
The school’s Khatib campus is designed around the following three concepts, which seek to make the school a welcoming and safe home for both staff and students, as well as an inviting space for partners and visitors for collaboration and learning.
(1) A School as a Big Learning Space
As Navalites move around school daily, they have multiple opportunities to learn and find out more about the world. From staircases decorated with decals of mathematical formulae, to garden plots with food crops, Navalites are able to learn more about life and the world just by moving around school.
(2) A School in a Garden
Visitors to NBSS are often struck by the amount of green they see, and marvel at the meticulously-manicured landscaping. We are particularly proud of the variety of green spaces scattered around the school, from our sprawling artificially-turfed Plaza, to the ever-popular Starboard tables. Navalites relish being in the airy outdoor spaces and embrace them as much as Singapore has embraced its reputation as a Garden City.
(3) A School as a Giant Art Gallery
The entire school campus has been converted to a large art gallery displaying artworks created by students, staff, parents and other stakeholders. There are artworks on the walls, floors and ceilings, in waterscapes and landscapes, indoors as well as outdoors and on every floor of the school building. The artworks range from individual creations to large-scale collective installations. The increasingly rich repertoire of artistic expressions, styles, forms and themes provide a stimulating environment for cross-fertilisation of ideas and for team learning and growth.
The artworks are displayed according to a larger curatorial concept. Each floor of the school building focuses on a specific ecological stratum that represents an aspect of nature or life.
Level 1 Exhibits depict sea and landscapes, with water features, gardens and parks.
Level 2 Exhibits depict close-range renditions of trees, flowers, animals and insects.
Level 3 Exhibits depict bird-eye views of landscapes and nature.
Level 4 Exhibits depict space, the universe and abstract concepts, including the surreal.
