Cyber Wellness
Find out how East Spring Secondary School helps students use technology safely and responsibly, and how parents can support Cyber Wellness at home.
Our Cyber Wellness (CW) programme equips East Springians with the social-emotional competencies, sound values, knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely, respectfully and responsibly. As part of Character and Citizenship Education (CCE), it supports students’ well-being and helps them make informed choices in their use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT).
The programme is guided by three principles:
Respect for Self and Others
Safe and Responsible Use
Positive Peer Influence
Through our CW curriculum, students learn to use technology for positive purposes, develop a healthy digital identity and contribute positively to online communities. We also encourage students to maintain a balanced lifestyle, making thoughtful use of technology while nurturing relationships and interests beyond the digital world.
