Character and Citizenship Education

Discover how CCE at CHIJ Kellock shapes students into values-driven, active citizens through classroom learning and key programmes.

Last updated 29 July 2026

Vision

We aim to inculcate in our students school values, enabling them to become concerned citizens with the strength of character who will step forward to lead and make a difference.

Mission

A Christ-centred learning community where all work together to educate, nurture and develop future-ready, values-centred citizens of tomorrow.

Philosophy

We believe that every child has the potential to live a purposeful life as an individual, a family member, a friend and a citizen of Singapore and the world. As a school, we can build the character of our students and develop them in the character and citizenship competencies and dispositions that will enable them to make a positive impact on others by contributing to society.

Curriculum

As an integral part of the total curriculum, Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) classroom lessons provide dedicated curriculum time for the explicit teaching and learning of values and social-emotional competencies. They also foster meaningful relationships among students and between students and teachers. Classroom CCE comprises Character and Citizenship Education through Form Teacher Guidance Period (CCE-FTGP), Character and Citizenship Education in the Mother Tongue Languages (CCE-MTL), and the Programme for Active Learning (PAL).

Six educational modules covering Cyber Wellness, Mental Wellness, National Education, Growing Years, Education Career Guidance, and Family Education.


CCE [Form Teacher Guidance Period (FTGP)] involves the explicit teaching and learning of social-emotional skills which are anchored on the Kellock Girl Outcomes (KGOs).

CCE (MTL) aims to deepen the learning of moral values through cultural stories, songs, proverbs, and practices unique to each Mother Tongue Language. The lessons also reinforce the teaching and larning of foundational social-emotional skills.

Values Education (VEd) is a customised IJ Kellock programme that involves the explicit teaching and learning of the school values. ‘I Will’ statements developed for the school values are the learning outcomes that the school hopes to see our students attain.

Our School Values

Programme for Active Learning (PAL) is offered to P1 and P2 levels where experiential learning through the domains of Sports and Games, Outdoor Education and Visual and Performing Arts are conducted. This programme also aims to provide opportunities for students to create, improvise and express their ideas, thoughts and feelings through varied activities that present opportunities for them to work collaboratively in a fun and an enjoyable way.

Key Programmes

CCE is not only confined to learning within the classroom but beyond the classroom. Some of our key student development experiences that contribute towards the holistic development of our students include Values in Action, Education and Career Guidance, Student Leadership Development, National Education Commemorative Days, I Am An IJ Ambassador and Camps for Life.


Camps for Life provide authentic learning experiences where students will have opportunities to apply problem-solving, intra and interpersonal skills. Students practise communication and being sensitive to the views and perspectives of others. Through overcoming challenges, they learn about themselves and what it means to be resilient.

Love in Action (LIA) include everyday responsibilities such as tidying their own work areas and cleaning their classrooms. In addition, students learn to serve the needs of the community through various platforms such as level LIA programme and volunteerism work initiated by the school.
