Student Management Department
Student Management Department
The Student Management Department aims to instil a sense of belonging, build positive peer relationships and discipline climate so that our students learn in a caring and enabling environment.
Positive Peer Relationships
Positive peer relationships facilitate the provision of care, a sense of belonging amongst students, as well as the building of resilience. Student peer relationships are also powerful channels of positive influence and are excellent opportunities for student voice and empowerment in the school.
There are 3 broad domains (Peer Bonding, Peer Helping and Peer Influencing) we look into and is enacted in two levels, where every student is a peer supporter.
Positive Discipline
In enacting a positive and proactive approach to discipline in school, there are three aspects we consider:
• Promote and Prevent – In building strong teacher-student relationships and giving quality instruction, the school strives to promote a safe and supportive environment and thus prevent challenging behaviours from occurring and disrupting learning.
• Address and Correct – Despite preventive measures, students could still display inappropriate behaviours due to various reasons. These inappropriate behaviour will be addressed promptly by the teachers, Year Heads and Discipline Mistress.
• Replace and Restore - As the ultimate goal is for students to develop self-discipline and good character, teachers help misbehaving students to replace their inappropriate behaviours with prosocial, appropriate ones, and to restore relationships with others hurt by their actions.
Student Leadership
To achieve our school vision of “Every SACPS girl a confident and curious learner who serves with commitment, compassion and cheerfulness”, the department looks into giving opportunities to all students in developing their leadership qualities.
In doing so, we want our student leaders to demonstrate the Canossian Attributes of Confidence, Curiosity, Commitment, Compassion and Cheerfulness in serving and leading others.
Student leadership development in SACPS focuses on three dimensions.
• Personal Leadership – students learn to take ownership of their own actions and choices
• Peer Leadership – students learn to serve others around them
• Thought Leadership – students learn to influence others and create value to the community
In our school, we believe that every SACPS student is a Service Leader, thus the school’s core values of Charity, Humility, Forgiveness and Faith also serves as a foundation for the SACPS Service Leader.
