CCE Lessons
Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) aims to inculcate values and build social and emotional competencies in students. This in turn is to develop them into good individuals and useful citizens in a fast changing and globalised world. It develops students through an understanding of the values that define Singapore society, inspiring them to show concern about the world they live in, and demostrate empathy in their relationships with others.
Students will learn values through three overarching ideas, namely (Identity, Relationships and Choices in six domains) starting with self and extending to the family, school, community, nation and the world. The diagram below shows the Core Values, the 3 Big Ideas and the Expanding domains in the CCE syllabus.

The Big Ideas, Identity, Relationships and Choices are core concepts of the syllabus. They are interconnected and impact one another. Students need to know who they are in order to relate positively with others. Relationships they forge shape their identity and influence the choices they make. The ability to make good choices impacts on their understanding of their won identity and the relationships they form.
