Student Well Being
Student Well-Being
Peer Support & Relationships (PSR) + Cyber Wellness (CW)
Vision:
Every Dazhong student is a Peer Supporter and advocate for Cyber Wellness.
Mission:
To create a Caring and Enabling School environment by:
- Empowering students to be positive influencers and leaders
- Bridging the adult and student divide to strengthen our student’ safety nets
- Creating a protective factor for students at risk through the building of positive relationships
- Contributing to a positive school Culture of Care.
Key Approaches for Student Well-Being @ DZPS:
In order to create a Caring and Enabling School environment and strengthen our school’s Culture of Care, the school looks into the various aspects of Student Well-Being through these areas:
- Positive Teacher-Student Relationships
- Positive Peer Support & Relationships
- Mental Health
- Cyber Wellness
- Students with Needs
It is a whole-school effort to equip all students with the necessary skills to support their own well-being as well as strengthen their school support systems (both offline & online). This is further supported by our teachers. A two-prong approach is thus adopted by our school to address this:
1. Level 1 PSR and CW (All Students)
DZPS 3E - Excite & Engage
- Cyber Wellness Weeks (as part of NE events - Total Defence Day, IFD, Racial Harmony, National Day)
- PSR infused as part of School Programmes (e.g. School Camps, Stories Come Alive!)
- FTGP Lessons & Assembly Talks for the explicit teaching of PSR and CW
2. Level 2 PSR and CW (Peer Support Leaders & ICT Champions)
DZPS 3E - Engage & Empower
- Training of Peer Support Leaders (PSL) and ICT Champions
-
Platforms for PSLs and ICT Champion to be Serving Leaders:
- Provide peer support and help to their peers in their own class / level
- Serve as Cyber Wellness ambassadors during NE events to drive CW messages
- Promote a Culture of Care in school by welcoming their peers at the start of each term, and doing a proper farewell to their peers at the end of each term.
- Promote Inclusivity in our school by peer supporting selected ISPR Students (Building Bridges Programme)
