Character & Citizenship Education
Discover how CCE shapes students into well-rounded, values-driven citizens. Learn about key programmes that build good character, resilience, and national pride.
CCE
OUR APPROACH
Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) is at the heart of education in Singapore. Through CCE, students learn values, social-emotional competencies, and develop character and citizenship dispositions that enable them to grow holistically and learn for life. To help our students adapt to disruptions in a rapidly evolving world, the knowledge, skills, and values taught in CCE need to remain current and relevant. CCE 2021 has been developed with this in mind to help our students navigate the realities of their time.
With CCE 2021, we aim to develop in our students:
Good Character
Resilience and Social-Emotional Well-Being
Future Readiness
Active Citizenship
KEY PROGRAMMES
1) Navalite Character Awards
The awards are to recognise outstanding students who are exemplary in character and who can be role models to inspire others. Students will be given the following awards.
Navalite Award (1 per class, Termly)
Best Navalite Award (1 per class, Yearly)
Navalite Honour Award (1 per level, Yearly)
2) Values-In-Action (VIA)
VIA is an integral part of our school curriculum. It aims to nurture students to be socially responsible and to help them understand his/her role in enhancing the well-being of the community and the country.
Our VIA structure is developmental. As students gain more experience, they are given greater involvement and autonomy in planning their VIA projects. Students’ involvement in VIA includes contributing to their family, school, environment, as well as serving the Yishun community.
The VIA process is guided by the Design Thinking framework. Students begin by empathising to understand the needs of others. They then define clear goals, ideate by brainstorming, sharing ideas, and developing a plan. After that, they carry out the tasks, and lastly, reflect on their VIA experience to deepen their learning and growth.

Total Defence Day
TOGETHER, WE KEEP SINGAPORE STRONG - that is the key message we hope our Navalites will take away from this year's Total Defence Day commemoration. Throughout the week, the students were exposed to the various ways in which they can contribute to total defence, no matter how big or small. Among the highlights of the event are a special Total Defence Day assembly, a sweet potato rationing exercise and a visit from the Singapore Red Cross and the Singapore Police Force!
