Cyber Wellness
Cyber Wellness education at Catholic High School helps pupils use the internet safely and responsibly. Find out how the school and parents can work together to support students online.
Overview and Purpose
Cyber Wellness (CW) in Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) focuses on the well-being of our pupils as they navigate cyberspace. Our curriculum aims to equip pupils 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.
Approach and Learning Experience
Our approach to CW is guided by the CW Principles by the Ministry of Education:
The three principles, ‘Respect for Self and Others’, ‘Safe and Responsible Use’ and ‘Positive Peer Influence’ when adhered to will anchor a child’s well-being in cyberspace as he will then be able to make careful and well-considered decisions.
CW Education at Catholic High School is delivered across various learning platforms:
CW lessons via Form Teacher Guidance Period (FTGP);
School-wide programmes (e.g. CW assembly talks, CW morning sharing, Peer Support Leaders’ CW Workshop and CW activities); and
CW topics that are included in subjects such as English and Mother Tongue Languages.
