Learning for Life Programme (LLP)

Learning for Life programme

The Learning for Life programme will provide students with real-life experiential learning to develop their character and values, cultivate positive attitudes, self expression and strengthen their people skills. This will be an integral aspect and a distinctive signature approach of Character and Citizenship Education (CCE). The intent is to instill in our students a sense of rootedness and responsibility for their community and fellow Singaporeans. Areas explored in LLP may include, among others, outdoor adventure learning, sports, student leadership development, uniformed groups, performing and visual arts.

Premise

Our LLP vision is guided by our belief that sports, when presented and organised meaningfully, will yield three benefits, i.e. to positively impact the physical, psychological and social well-being of a teenager. Through participation in sports, our students not only build up their physical fitness but acquire strong character and desired values.

Our Framework

JSS’ Sporty at Heart, Sporting in Mind programme adopts a 3-tiered approach of (1) Know, (2) Do and (3) Excel, which is applied across different levels of participation (from mass participation to participation by the talented or passionate). It emphasises value acquisition and transference of such values into the way we live and work.

Value and Impact

Through active participation in sports at the three levels (know, do and excel) and through competitive and non-competitive platforms, our LLP seeks to support the building of core values, as articulated in the desired outcomes.

Mission

A community where all staff and students embrace sports as part of their lifestyle and collectively build a culture where sports serve a dual purpose of promoting healthy lifestyle and inculcating values.
