School overview

MOE’s history places Maha Bodhi’s beginnings in a Geylang shophouse in 1946, with its official opening on 12 January 1948. It became government-aided in 1957, English-medium in 1985 and a SAP school in 1990, then moved to Ubi Avenue 1 in 1995. These are different milestones, rather than competing founding dates. The school’s motto, 敦品励学, connects character and learning; its bilingual identity is also visible in Chinese cultural, calligraphy and performing-arts activities.

ELECTA@MBS is the school’s communication-focused ALP. Its common baseline includes two level programmes: P3 pupils have eight presentation sessions, work in teams on school-improvement ideas and produce videos for “My School, My Responsibility”. P5 pupils practise persuasive public speaking in “Waste Not, Want Not”, explaining Singapore’s waste-management challenges, Pulau Semakau’s limits and reduce–reuse–recycle choices. These examples show what children are asked to discuss and make, rather than simply describing them as confident speakers.
