Overview

Student Development
At ACS (Junior), we view the young gentlemen who pass through our gates as unique individuals, with different talents and strengths. We believe that each of them has the potential to flourish and live a fulfilling life as an individual, a family member, a friend, a community member, and a citizen of Singapore and the world. Through their everyday interactions with others and various learning experiences, we hope to guide them in developing their character and citizenship competencies and dispositions.

Our Character and Citizenship Education Learning Experiences include:

CCE (Form Teacher Guidance Period)
CCE (Mother Tongue Languages)
Programme for Active Learning (Social Studies)
Values in Action
Learning Journeys
Co-Curricular Activities
Student Leadership Development
Student Well-Being

Values in Action

Student Leadership
Objectives:

To proudly serve the society and school with integrity, respect and compassion
To set discipline standards and inspire the student body to achieve high standards of discipline
To uphold and preserve the traditions of the school
To lead in the organisation of school activities, and to rally the support of the student body
To represent the views and opinions of the pupils and to help meet their needs
To help integrate new pupils of the school into the ACS(J) way of life

The conceptual map showing the values of our leaders, their training and the desired outcome:

The three guiding principles:
Principle 1
Values are at the base as they guide and provide the purpose for one’s behaviours. These values are our school core values. Actions without grounding in values would lead to inconsistency in purpose and actions

Principle 2
All ACSians can be and should be developed as a leader. Student leadership development needs to be intentional thus we provide structured leadership opportunities for students to realise their personal potential through the school CCE programme.

Principle 3
During their stint as leaders, our students will be empowered by the teachers-in-charge in serving their peers as leadership is an action, not a position. They will be empowered with the servant leadership attributes.
