At Brentvale College (BCI), student development extends beyond academic learning. As a private education institution in Singapore supporting international students, the school places emphasis on creating a balanced environment where students can adapt, connect and grow during their time of study.
Recently, BCI organised a student BBQ gathering, providing an opportunity for students from different backgrounds to come together in a relaxed and informal setting.
Creating a Supportive Environment for International Students
Studying abroad can be a new and sometimes challenging experience, especially for students adjusting to a different education system and environment. Activities such as school events and student gatherings play an important role in helping students:
- Build friendships across cultures
- Improve communication and confidence
- Adapt more comfortably to life in Singapore
The BBQ session allowed students to interact outside the classroom, strengthening peer relationships and fostering a sense of community within the school.

Encouraging Student Engagement
At BCI, student engagement is encouraged through various school-based activities alongside academic programmes. These activities are designed to support students’ overall development while maintaining a structured learning environment.
During the event, students participated in:
- Group interactions and informal discussions
- Collaborative activities
- Shared dining experiences
Such interactions help students develop interpersonal skills that complement their academic journey.
