Character & Citizenship Education

Objectives

In Peicai, we aim to inculcate in our students:

1) Good Character

Students are enabled to have a sound moral compass, a strong sense of right and wrong, think critically and ethically, be discerning in judgement, take responsibility for choices and actions, be caring towards others and strive for excellence.

2) Resilience and Social-Emotional Well-Being

Students are enabled to have a balanced sense of self, form healthy relationships, be resilient when faced with challenges, find meaning in life and have a sense of gratitude and appreciation.

3) Active Citizenship

Students are enabled to develop a strong national identity based on a sense of belonging to the nation, a sense of hope in themselves and the future, an awareness of the reality of Singapore's vulnerabilities and constraints, and the will to act on improving the lives of others and building a future for our nation.

4) Future Readiness

Students are enabled to have a sense of purpose in life, develop the dispositions of adaptability and lifelong learning so as to be able to navigate education and career pathways purposefully and take on the challenges of the future, including the world of work.

Curriculum

Character & Citizenship Education (CCE) forms an integral part of every student’s school experience. CCE is central to the Framework for 21st Century Competencies and Student Outcomes. At the heart of CCE is the teaching of core values and social-emotional competencies with a focus on developing a sense of purpose in our students as they prepare to take on the challenges of a fast-evolving world beyond the school.
