What is it about?
Education and Career Guidance (ECG): Young people in our schools today face a future that will be very different from that experienced by their parents and teachers. ECG is about equipping students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and values to make informed decisions at each key education stage for successful transition from school to further education or work, and hence to manage their career pathways and lifelong learning throughout their lives. Through ECG, students explore their strengths and abilities, examine their life’s purpose, and develop qualities of proactivity, adaptability, and resilience to prepare themselves for the 21st Century.
ECG the WRS Way
The WRS ECG Curriculum is aligned closely to the national movement, SkillsFuture, and the MOE ECG Development Model.
The curriculum supports our students in planning for their future by providing them the information on the new developments in the educational and careers landscape. Learning opportunities are also purposefully created to allow our students to learn more about themselves, in terms of their strengths and interests, and explore what are out there before they make their decisions. Through the curriculum, life skills are developed to prepare our students for the 21st Century.
Goals of ECG
Key Strategies
The ECG unit adopts a structured and thematic approach in planning the curriculum so as to meet students’ needs by level. Besides conducting ECG lessons during CCE periods, cusotmised enrichment programmes are also organised to provide learning opportunities for different student segments so as to deepen students’ interests and motivation towards learning.
By the end of their journey in WRSS, we hope that all students are answer the following three questions:
Who am I?
Where am I going?
How do I get there?
Once they are able to find the answers to the above three questions, they will discover the purpose of work and be more motivated in their learning.
