Character and Citizenship Education

Empowering Students with 21st Century Competencies

In the fast-paced world we live in, change is the only constant. At Blangah Rise Primary School, we stand firm in our commitment not only to support students in navigating these changes but also to empower them to take on challenges and seize new opportunities.

Our educational philosophy revolves around providing our students with a well-rounded education that equips them with skills crucial for their future endeavours. We believe in instilling future-ready skills that prepare them for their future. Through partnering our parents, we work hand in hand to reinforce these essential skills and values, ensuring our students receive a forward-looking education.

Our Values

Here at Blangah Rise Pri school, values are not just taught but are woven into the very fabric of our curriculum. Our Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) programme is dedicated to cultivating students of integrity, empathy, and excellence. We prioritize building strong character, fostering critical thinking and ethical decision-making. We cherish the partnership with parents, recognizing that together, we can truly make a meaningful impact.

In our school, we wholeheartedly embrace the Virtues Project, a global initiative promoting the daily practice of virtues. Through the implementation of the Five Strategies, we actively guide our students towards discovering deeper meaning and happiness in their lives.

Clara Chu, a Primary 4 student, shares, “Ms Teo always talks about virtues like kindness in class. It makes our classroom environment very positive and kind.”

This project serves as a powerful tool for parents and teachers alike, empowering students to embody virtues such as kindness and honesty in their daily school life.

Building a strong sense of community and belonging

Our school-based CCE curriculum integrates the 7-Habits . Learning Experiences, programmes to benefit the community and opportunities to practice and demonstrate these habits are specially designed for our students. By working alongside partners such as Lion Befrienders, People’s Association, and Sports SG, as well as through our Values in Action initiatives, we actively demonstrate these habits to support those in need.

We aim to develop students who are aware of community issues and are also equipped with the skills and drive to tackle them. Through community projects, discussions, or awareness initiatives, we aim to empower our students to step forward with courage and make a meaningful impact, no matter how small it may seem. Khush Pareek, a Primary 6 student, reflects, “I’ve discovered that being proactive means not only taking initiative for myself but also reaching out to support others in our community. It’s about making a positive difference in the lives of those around me.”

Student Wellness

In our school, we prioritize the holistic well-being o f our students - academic success, physical health, mental clarity, and emotional resilience. Just as physical fitness sharpens the mind, nurturing mental and emotional health is crucial for a child’s holistic development. Beyond academics, we foster opportunities for students to engage with others and contribute meaningfully to their community. Initiatives like Student Wellness Day and collaborative projects encourage teamwork and empathy. Explore our Student Wellness page for more details on how we nurture student well-being.

Charting their Future

Our Enhanced Education and Career Guidance (ECG) program goes beyond traditional classroom learning. We provide numerous hands-on opportunities for students to delve into their values, interests, and skills. This not only equips them with the mindset and abilities essential for lifelong learning but also prepares them to make informed decisions about their secondary school education and beyond.

Cyber Wellness

In today’s interconnected world, technology is in every part of our lives. Yet, alongside these benefits come risks that are addressed by our Cyber Wellness education. At our school, we recognise technology has the potential to greatly support our students’ learning and growth. We take proactive steps to educate our students to use technology for positive purposes, staying safe online, and becoming responsible digital citizens. We also offer our BRPS CAPE cyber wellness programme, which includes specially designed lessons, curated resources and additional support to help students manage their digital engagement. By promoting healthy online habits, we empower them to lead balanced lives.
