Since his grand entrance on 3rd February 2020, ‘Ben’ The Otter has become a beloved member of the Bendemeer Primary School family.

Introducing Ben, the Adventurous Otter Astronaut!
We are thrilled to unveil the newest addition to Ben's digital persona. Floating high above the Earth with his flag in hand, Ben the Astronaut perfectly embodies the spirit of curiosity and exploration required as Bendemeer Primary embarks on our exciting new EdTech journey.
Just as astronauts explore the unknown, this new avatar represents our commitment to fearlessly navigating the digital landscape. Ben represents our commitment to fearlessly navigating the digital landscape, seeking out the vast possibilities for authentic and impactful learning that helps every student reach for the stars!
Launch of School Mascot
Bendemeer Primary School proudly launched our school’s very own mascot – ‘Ben’ The Otter on 3rd February 2020. As Ben danced and made his grand entrance, students welcomed him by waving their mini otter flags excitedly. Our school adopted the otter to be the role model mascot due to their positive attributes and values such as teamwork, passion and resilience.
Prefects worked as a team to brainstorm a variety of names and presented to the school to get the students to vote for their favourite name for the mascot. The objective of launching a mascot is to create loyal supporters of our students, staff and parents as it will be a recognizable symbol of our school. It also represents the values every Bendemeer student should cultivate and exhibit from the otter’s family.
Ben is now a new member who has joined our Bendemeer family and will always be part of our school’s future vital events.
Digital Illustrations of Ben
With the introduction of our school mascot, BEN the otter, last year, Bendemeer Primary School has launched the digital illustrations of BEN in eight different images. This is to encourage our staff to use these digital illustrations in their department’s projects, presentations and posters to highlight and reinforce our ASPIRE values to our students in a fun and lively way. Ben is our
School’s Values Ambassador. He serves to reinforce key messages and values that every student should aspire towards. He also represents the different vital aspects of our school. The eight images are namely Ben the Explorer, Learner, Host, Values Ambassador, Athlete, Musician, Artist and ICT Champ.
