SUPPORTING STUDENTS IN THE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE USE OF THE DEVICES

The school has measures in place to enable a safe and conducive learning environment for students in the use of PLDs for teaching and learning. For example:

1. CLASSROOM AND HOME ROUTINES

SUGGESTED ROUTINES IN SCHOOL

Suggested Routines at Home

2. CYBER WELLNESS EDUCATION

Cyber Wellness (CW) refers to the positive well-being of Internet users. It involves an understanding of online behaviour and awareness of how to protect oneself in cyberspace. The focus of CW is about helping students to become responsible digital learners.


MOE uses the CW framework to develop the child's instinct to protect and empower him to take responsibility for his own well-being in cyberspace. The three principles, 'Respect for Self and Others', 'Safe and Responsible Use' and ' Positive Peer Influence' when adhered to will anchor a child's well-being in cyberspace as he/she will then be able to make careful and well-considered decisions.

Educating students on Cyber Wellness

MOE has made significant changes to the Character and Citizenship Education. Cyber Wellness lessons will feature significantly in the CCE2021 lessons.


Topics covered in the Cyber Wellness lessons include:

The school also has strategies to enable school-wide implementation of CCE. These include:

Digital Citizenship and Cyber Wellness

Bukit Batok Secondary School develops its students to develop the digital skills that enables their learning. While doing so, we empower our students to take responsibility for their personal well-being when using technology.


The school adopts MOE's Cyber Wellness Framework to develop students into responsible digital citizens. BBSSians attitudes and behaviour on the use of technology are guided by the 3 Cyber Wellness Principles. These principles are constantly reinforced when students engage in the "Sense-Think-Act" process, which serves as a structure for them to use technology safely and meaningfully for their learning and interactions.

3. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY (AUP)

Purpose of implementing AUP


In general, an AUP is meant for establishing a common understanding of acceptable and appropriate use of students’ personal learning device (PLD) and schools’ ICT resources.
