Cyberwellness
Aim
The aim of the Cyber Wellness programme is to develop every Ngee Ann student into discerning and responsible ICT users who are able to protect themselves and be responsible for their well-being in the cyber world.
The school adopts MOE’s Cyber Wellness Framework in education our students on Cyber Wellness. This framework focuses on three key processes; Sense, Think and Act.
In order for the students to ‘sense’ and ‘think’, they are provided opportunities to analyze, evaluate and reflect on Cyber Wellness issues. Different platforms are provided to allow students to translate their understanding into actions that will keep them safe while being online. These platforms aim to let students take on the role as advocates to share the messages of Cyber Wellness with their peers, family and public.
