Cyber Wellness Parent Resource Package
Cyber Wellness for Families
Developing Healthy Digital Habits Together
At Peirce Secondary School, we recognise that children's digital habits are shaped both in school and through everyday interactions at home. Local studies indicate that Singapore youths spend significant time online and may encounter various risks including scams, cyberbullying, and harmful content.
Students benefit most when parents and schools collaborate to guide their online experiences. Our school adopts the theme "Practise Healthy Digital Habits Together as a Peircean Family", emphasising shared responsibility, open communication, and consistent guidance in developing safe, responsible, and balanced online behaviours.
Supporting Parents
The school is committed to equipping parents with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate digital wellness conversations with their children. Effective cyber wellness education involves setting appropriate boundaries, maintaining open dialogue, and encouraging students to seek help when needed.
