Citizenship Education
The Citizenship Education programme aims to develop students into culturally sensitive, socially responsible citizens with a global outlook and a strong sense of rootedness to Singapore. The programme seeks to cultivate citizenship dispositions in our students, including a sense of belonging to the nation, hope in themselves and the future, as well as an awareness of the realities of Singapore’s vulnerabilities and constraints. This understanding translates into a commitment to act on improving the lives of others and building a future for our nation. The programme employs the following approaches:
Students participate actively in conversations on contemporary issues, with a CCE representative leading the discussion among her classmates

In JC2, students will participate in a dialogue session with a political office holder on policy matters, raising their awareness of national issues and the rationale behind government policies.

For the boys, we invited speakers from CMPB and MINDEF to share insights on the pre-enlistment and vocation selection process, along with alumni who shared their NS experiences with their juniors. For the girls, officers from the SAF Volunteer Corps and the Army Recruitment Centre were invited to share the various opportunities available for them to serve the nation.
