Cyber Wellness

What is Cyber Wellness

Cyber Wellness (CW) in CCE focuses on the well-being of our students as they navigate cyberspace. The CW curriculum aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to harness the power of ICT for positive purposes, maintain a positive presence in cyberspace and be safe and responsible users of ICT.

Key Messages

Through CW education in CCE, students learn to be respectful, safe, and responsible users of technology and be a positive peer influence, advocating for the good of the community online.

These are the key messages which students will understand:

• Embrace the affordances of technology while maintaining a balanced lifestyle between offline and online activities

• Be a safe and responsible user of technology and maintain a positive online presence

• Be responsible for personal well-being in cyberspace

3 principles of Cyber Wellness

These 3 main principles will guide our students’ decision-making and anchor their well-being:

• Respect for self and others.

• Safe and responsible use.

• Positive peer influence.

PCPS Cyber Wellness

The school is committed to helping students navigate the digital world safely and responsibly. Our Cyber Wellness programme teaches students essential life skills and values that will serve them well as they grow up in an increasingly connected world. Our approach integrates cyber wellness education with our CCE lessons, ensuring your child receives comprehensive guidance on both digital citizenship and character development.

There are five major CW topics in the Primary CW curriculum –Cyber Use, Cyber Identity, Cyber Relationships, Cyber Citizenship, and Cyber Ethics. Mapping these topics to our school’s CW curriculum, our school focuses on the following for each level:

Our Programmes and Initiatives

Programmes and initiatives are carefully curated according to CW topics, keeping in mind the current affairs in our cyber world and emerging technology.

1. SLS Lessons in Term 2 and Term 4

As a follow-up to the class talk, students will recap and be engaged in activities related to the CW theme. This allows students to learn and apply their skills in scenario-based questions and Cyber Wellness-related games.

2. Cyber Wellness Student Ambassadors (CWSAs)

CWSAs are role models who actively influence their peers to create a safe and kind online community. They do this through:

• Guiding their peers on how to behave in the digital world

• Championing school-wide CW outreach efforts

CWSAs are given opportunities to attend workshops and be part of CW projects to create awareness about CW in school.
