Moulding Our Gentlemen’s Character, One Day at a Time
°¿³Ü°ùÌýCharacter & Citizenship Education (CCE) curriculumÌýis grounded in our school vision –ÌýLeaders, Gentlemen and Bilingual Scholars, with High Integrity and Robust Character, who are Passionate about Life, Learning and Service to Others. The curriculum provides multiple platforms and opportunities for our students to realise their potential alongside their academic learning.
At Catholic High,Ìýevery teacher is a CCE teacher, and the teaching of values and citizenry is infused into the school curriculum.
- Every morning assembly begins with a prayer to prepare our students’ minds for the day’s learning, and our Principal starts each week with a personal sharing on values.
- During ourÌýMorning Breakfast Session, students can discuss ideas and concerns with their Form Teachers in a small-group setting.
- ±õ²ÔÌýCCE lessons, students will learn about values such as love, respect and resilience. They also get to explore different leadership styles, and discuss issues concerning Singapore and the world.
- Out of the classrooms, students can connect what they have learned with hands-onÌýValues-in-Action (VIA) projects, apply leadership skills on various platforms including CCAs, and share their learning experiences throughÌýPersonalised MentoringÌýwith the teachers.
- In addition, theÌýthematic commemorationÌýof Total Defence Day, International Friendship Day, Racial Harmony Day and National Day complements the CCE curriculum for deep discussions on our country.
- °Õ³ó°ù´Ç³Ü²µ³óÌýÌýLearning Journeys, students will learn about our Nation’s Past, Present and Charted Future, and how they can play a part inÌýmaking the Present better and in transforming our Future.
Moulding our students’ character requires aÌýmulti-faceted approach. In addition to CCE lessons and VIA projects, our students also take part in ourÌý‘Gentleman in the Making’ Programme,Ìýwhere they will:
- Attend workshops such asÌýValues WorkshopÌýfor Level 1 students, and
- Social and Etiquette WorkshopsÌýandÌýLifeskills WorkshopsÌýfor Levels 2 to 4 students.
Through these workshops, our students will learn about values of filial piety and gentlemanly behaviour in different social settings.
