An integral part of CCE, National Education (NE) involves school initiatives to deepen students' connection with their national identity as Singaporeans. It aims to instill an understanding of the nation's unique challenges, fostering hope and belonging. This motivation encourages students to actively contribute to their communities and the nation, promoting engaged citizenship.

Our Objectives

  1. Equip students with knowledge and values to understand Singapore's history, realities, and challenges, and to cultivate a sense of national identity and pride.

  2. Nurture engaged citizens who are socially aware, critical thinkers, and informed about local and global issues.

  3. Motivate students to contribute to their communities and nation, fostering a strong sense of belonging, reality, and hope, while pursuing their personal goals.

Learning Experiences in Guangyang

We believe in fostering a joy of learning and a deep appreciation for Singapore's journey to independence.

By celebrating the joy of learning and reflecting on our nation's challenges and triumphs, our students develop a strong sense of national identity and a commitment to building a better future.
