Character and Citizenship Education

Department Focus

At NCPS, Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) is at the heart of our commitment to developing every child. We believe students learn best when they feel safe, understood and valued. Beyond academic excellence, we nurture students of character who demonstrate integrity, care for others and contribute positively to their communities.

Our CCE programme provides authentic learning experiences, meaningful dialogue and purposeful reflection that help students understand themselves, build positive relationships, appreciate diverse perspectives and make responsible decisions. Through these experiences, students develop the confidence, compassion and resilience to navigate an increasingly complex world.

Guided by our core values of Respect, Responsibility, Sincerity and Perseverance, we cultivate a school community where every student experiences safety, belonging and contribution. We empower our students to become self-directed learners, empathetic leaders and active citizens who make a positive difference wherever they are.

To achieve these goals, the following CCE programmes are offered:

• CCE Lessons (CCE(FTGP), CCE(MTL), PAL lessons for P1-P2) and Social Studies lessons, with a focus on these content areas, i.e. National Education, Sexuality Education, Cyber Wellness, Education and Career Guidance, Mental Health and Family Education

• Values Education, where NCPS students are engaged regularly on internalising the core values and how they can express their understanding via CCE badge design and active contribution to their class/school community (e.g. in Clean & Green Classroom)

• Values in Action (VIA): VIA, such as Eco-Stewardship Programme and Appreciation Programme for our community partners provide platforms and opportunities for NCPS students to apply knowledge, skills and values acquired through meaningful contributions to the class, school and Sengkang community
