A Quality Edgefield Experience

The Student Development Team@Edgefield ensures a balanced and holistic school experience for all students, supporting their overall growth. Like tiny seedlings when they first enter the school, our students undergo a rich array of school experiences across their six years here with us and flourish into curious and confident young learners ready to brave their journey ahead alongside others.

Supporting Student Well-Being

Students thrive best in an environment that is safe and where positive emotions flow. We do this by providing opportunities for all Edgefielders to experience Positive emotions, promote student Engagement, build meaningful Relationships, understand the Meaning behind all that they do and celebrate their Accomplishments (PERMA).

Peer Support Relationships

In line with the CCE 2021 Curriculum Framework, our school has established a Peer Support Relationship (PSR) structure. PSR is critical for building a caring and enabling school environment.

Having strong PSR helps our students feel more connected to others. This sense of relatedness goes a long way in increasing their motivation to attend school. As students learn to look out for one another, PSR also serves as an extra layer of safety net for our children when they require help.

2 Tiers of Implementation for PSR

  • Tier 1 programmes are for all students. Every student can be a peer supporter with explicit teaching of basic PSR knowledge and skills, and provision of opportunities for students to demonstrate PSR.

  • Tier 2 programmes are for selected Peer Support Leaders (PSLs). PSLs make up one of the main student leadership bodies in our school. These leaders undergo specialized training to become more adept at skills required for all three PSR domains.

I-Am-Possible Programme

I Am Possible is a school programme that aims to develop the holistic potential of selected students in our school. Here, students are taught life skills, self-management skills and school values through various exciting and engaging activities.

This year, we are collaborating with CITY (Character In The Young) Community Services to mentor and befriend our students.
