We: Primary focus is to foster an inclusive society to the entirety of TJC where no student feels alone because we are one Temasek. This also applies within the council, ensuring that every member gets an opportunity to speak about their ideals and plans for the future as well as feel belonged in the community.

Bare: We should be transparent to the student body about our plans and ideas and allow them to contribute in turn. This encourages open communication between the council and the student body, strengthens their trust in the council. This also encourages active participation and engagement which creates a more coherent and productive environment.

Bears: Not the scary types of bears, but more like a teddy bear (or the really cute bears in We Bare Bears), they symbolise love, protection, care and companionship, which is what we should give to the student body. We must strive to provide a safe space for everyone, so that they feel loved no matter who they are, or where they come from, so that they never feel undervalued or lonely in their school life.

Rationale: The overall idea of the Cartoon Network show We Bare Bears is to explore the meaning of belonging and to accept others despite any flaws they may have, the main theme about friendship and overcoming fear to protect those we care about. The whole series shows us that we can achieve anything if we have the support of people who care about us. Likewise, we should show the students of TJC that they have our utmost support, and together as one community, we will be able to achieve anything we set our minds to, to build a better Temasek for you and me.
