Character and Citizenship Education (CCE)
Overview
Character Education is the cornerstone of every Pei Tong student’s school experience. Here in Pei Tong, we seek to ground all students in values and develop them in Personal Mastery, Resilience, Citizenry and Leadership.
Key Programmes
Citizenship Dispositions
In Pei Tong, we hope to develop an understanding and appreciation of Singapore and citizenship in this world of complexity, in our students. National Education (NE) will be anchored on the following citizenship dispositions, which will enable our students to realise their part in the flourishing of their community and nation:
|
A Sense of Belonging |
To develop a deeper understanding of who we are, and a shared understanding of the values that are important to us as a nation. |
|
A Sense of Reality |
To be aware of contemporary realities including Singapore’s constraints and vulnerabilities which affect us as a nation amidst the backdrop of a less predictable world. |
|
A Sense of Hope |
Having confidence and optimism in Singapore’s future and the resilience to face the challenges ahead. |
|
A Will to Act |
Ultimately, these citizenship dispositions cultivate the will to act: To be active citizens who have a collective resolve and a sense of shared mission towards building a Singapore for all. |
NE Commemorative Events
Beyond formal Character and Citizenship Education lessons and the celebration of festive events of the various races in Singapore, the four NE Commemorative Days (Total Defence Day, International Friendship Day, Racial Harmony Day, and National Day) are integral to students’ learning experiences in school.
Through these commemorative days, students learn valuable lessons from significant moments in Singapore’s history and reflect on how to apply their learning to contribute as active citizens.
P5 National Education Show
All Primary 5 students will have the opportunity to attend the P5 National Education Show (National Day Parade Preview). This experience enables them to witness the spirit of national pride and learn about Singapore’s history and culture, fostering a deeper sense of belonging and identity within the community.
Social Studies Learning Journeys
Authentic learning experiences are an integral part of teaching and learning Social Studies at Pei Tong. Each year, students participate in field-based learning through excursions to museums and heritage trails.
These experiences enhance students’ understanding and appreciation of Singapore, allowing them to connect the knowledge they've gained with real-world experiences.
