Overview

Character Education is the cornerstone of every Pei Tong student’s school experience. Here in Pei Tong, we seek to ground all students in values and develop them in Personal Mastery, Resilience, Citizenry and Leadership.

Citizenship Dispositions

In Pei Tong, we hope to develop an understanding and appreciation of Singapore and citizenship in this world of complexity, in our students. National Education (NE) will be anchored on the following citizenship dispositions, which will enable our students to realise their part in the flourishing of their community and nation:

Citizenship Dispositions

A Sense of Belonging

To develop a deeper understanding of who we are, and a shared understanding of the values that are important to us as a nation. 

A Sense of Reality

To be aware of contemporary realities including Singapore’s constraints and vulnerabilities which affect us as a nation amidst the backdrop of a less predictable world.

A Sense of Hope

Having confidence and optimism in Singapore’s future and the resilience to face the challenges ahead.

A Will to Act

Ultimately, these citizenship dispositions cultivate the will to act: To be active citizens who have a collective resolve and a sense of shared mission towards building a Singapore for all.

NE Commemorative Events

Beyond formal Character and Citizenship Education lessons and the celebration of festive events of the various races in Singapore, the four NE Commemorative Days (Total Defence Day, International Friendship Day, Racial Harmony Day, and National Day) are integral to students’ learning experiences in school.

Through these commemorative days, students learn valuable lessons from significant moments in Singapore’s history and reflect on how to apply their learning to contribute as active citizens.

Students dressed in traditional Malay attire sit together during the school's Hari Raya celebration, learning about the festival and its cultural traditions.

This experience enables them to witness the spirit of national pride and learn about Singapore’s history and culture, fostering a deeper sense of belonging and identity within the community.

Social Studies Learning Journeys

Authentic learning experiences are an integral part of teaching and learning Social Studies at Pei Tong. Each year, students participate in field-based learning through excursions to museums and heritage trails.

These experiences enhance students’ understanding and appreciation of Singapore, allowing them to connect the knowledge they've gained with real-world experiences.
