2016: Thoughtful Leadership Journey
in Its Fifth Year… GOING FAR, GOING TOGETHER, THE SWISS WAY
THE CENTRE FOR THOUGHTFUL LEADERSHIP
We had a history of achievements in the Uniformed Groups, Student Council, Sports and CCA Leaders which was pivotal in the shift of the Swiss vision in 2012 - from “Vibrant Learning To effect the CYL function well, we developed the distinctive Community” to “Thoughtful Leaders”. The vision of giving every Thoughtful Leadership Programme (TLP). The TLP is also the student a chance to lead – to bring about meaningful and Learning for Life (LLP) curriculum that propels the Thoughtful sustainable change in their environment set the new and inspiring Leadership focus. It is one of the two Distinctive Programmes direction for us. We became one of the six Community Youth (the second being the Applied Learning Programme Scientific Leadership (CYL) schools in Singapore in 2014. Research Skills) of the school.
Figure 1 Thoughtful Leadership Programme (TLP) is the Swiss Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP). The TLP or LLP is housed under the Centre for Thoughtful Leadership Committee formed in 2013.
THINK THINK LEAD THOUGHTFUL LEADERSHIP • Global • Values-In-Action • Student PROGRAMME Perspectives + + Leadership +
The TLP is driven by the Centre for Thoughtful Leadership (CTL) that would culminate in the hands-on VIA efforts of the which oversees three sub-programmes, namely (i) the Glocal students. At the same time, 2014 was the inaugural year when Perspectives Programme (GPP), (ii) the Values-in Action the youngest of the three programmes, GPP was piloted Programme (VIAP) and (iii) the Student Leadership Programme among the Secondary 1 Express classes. (StLP). The idea was to have ‘taught’ curricula in GPP and StLP PAGE SWISS COTTAGE SECONDARY 22 YEARBOOK 2016
THE GLOCAL PERSPECTIVES PROGRAMME
The GPP is a school-based curriculum designed to inspire our students’ thought, concern and action for the community by making constant links to the world they live in. The GPP is a weekly one-hour formal lesson that is designed for two years. At the end of the two years, we expect our students to be able to:
• discuss local and world issues with confidence • articulate a well-considered position on an issue • actively initiate suggestions for possible social action and change and • experience knowledge amalgamation using authentic materials and contexts through the use of communication and collaboration skills as well as through independent learning and knowledge application.
The EFG Thinking Framework
With a deliberate emphasis placed on developing leaders who are grounded in values, the GPP team developed a Thinking Framework with three dimensions of thought – (i) to think ethically, to think in a forward-looking and positive manner and to think with the global/local (Glocal) contexts - so that when they create change, it is humane, sustainable and meaningful. The framework further delineates the specific habits of thinking under each dimension of thought.
For example Ethical Thinking is displayed through moral reasoning and perspective-taking in the light of a dilemma or conflict of priorities. Likewise, Forward and Positive Thinking are effected through problem-solving and positive-self-talk in the face of challenges. Glocal thinking is demonstrated through critical thinking and an awareness of cross-cultural skills.
Thematic Overview: Building An Inclusive Society
Selected skill-sets anchor each module taught and assessed
every term. The topics were selected to support the VIA level outcomes and to infuse a sense of empathy for their environment and the people in the community. This approach was targetted at helping students in their roles as Thoughtful Leaders who want to build an inclusive society. (Refer to the following picture on the topics planned for the two years.
Forward & Positive Thinking “Watch your thoughts, they become words; watch your Ethical Glocal words, they become actions; Thinking Thinking watch your actions, they
become habits; watch your habits, they become character; Thoughtful Leaders Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.” PAGE SWISS COTTAGE SECONDARY YEARBOOK 2016 23
An Overview of the Two Years of Learning and Assessment
Developing an Informed Response On Topics Through Perspective-Shifting
Students were exposed to perspectives on a given topic that are explored through phases: from the activation of their (i) familiar and personal schema, then (ii) the familiar but less personal local views and and finally (iii) the less familiar and less personal global stand- points – before arriving at an informed and locally rooted personal perspective. This approach of shifting perspectives was anchored through a variety of pedagogical approaches – research, role-play, debates, discussions and inquiry-based projects.
The six core skills of the EFG (Ethical, Forward/Positive and Glocal) Thinking Framework: Perspective-Taking, Moral Personal Reasoning, Positive Self-Talk, Problem Solving, Cross-Cultural (less to more informed) Communications and Critical Thinking are integrated into a Thinking Scaffold which also gets students to process values. (Refer to Step 4 of the Seven-Step Thinking Scaffold).
The Thinking Scaffold is modelled in each module by the teachers and students apply these skill-sets. This is repeated across the various GP modules in a Spiral Progression to anchor the desired Global Local Thinking mode of the Thoughtful Leader. The Seven-Step Thinking Scaffold can be summarised into three stages of Awareness, Action and Advocacy which is the overarching approach of all Thoughtful Leadership Programmes (GP, StL and VIA).
Stages of Implementation in 2014-2016
The GPP was implemented in 2014 to Secondary 1 Express students as a pilot programme. Selected lessons were trialed among students from the Secondary 1 Normal Academic and Normal Technical streams. By 2015, all Secondary 1 and 2 classes were introduced to GPP. PAGE SWISS COTTAGE SECONDARY 24 YEARBOOK 2016
Student Leadership Programme
The Swiss Student Leadership Programme has a 2-tier structure comprising cohort programme as well as select programme. For the cohort programme, the school developed a student leadership curriculum based on our PEMT framework (Principled, Efficacious leaders with Managerial competencies and a Transformational mindset) which focuses on explicit leadership competencies at the different cohort levels to allow students to develop into a Thoughtful Leader. The student leadership curriculum has a spiral progression across the 4 years.

Eldercare Project
As part of our vision to mould students to be Thoughtful Leaders, the Student Council continued their journey of the Diff-ability Project this year and extended it to advocate for the elderly. Looking at the community in Bukit Gombak, there was an increasing need to reach out to the elderly as there was an increasing number of elderly living around the vicinity.
The increasing need to build an inclusive society has propelled the Student Council to embark on this simulation project, the ‘Eldercare Experience’ to help Swiss students explore more real life issues that are happening around them. This project aims to help students be able to have a better understanding of the concerns and problems the elderly face in their daily lives. We hope that such programs will sensitise our students and spur them to make a positive change in the community.
Primary School Outreach Project
This year, our Student Council and Sports Leaders also came together to host our cluster primary school student leaders in a ‘Swiss Leadership Experience’, to share their knowledge and experience in being a student leader.
Through the experience, not only do the primary school students get a chance to interact with other student leaders, they also learned a few leadership skills such as being a team player, the importance of empathising with your team mates and effective communication skills. In addition, these students were also given the Diff-ability Experience where they were put in the shoes of the People with Disabilities (PWDs).

Programmes THE VALUES-ACTION-PROGRAMME
The Swiss VIAP is one of the key levers to develop student character, leadership and spirit for volunteering. With a two-tiered whole-school approach to deliver the programme, all Swiss students experience VIA through diversified cohort programmes and student-directed VIA activities.
“Awareness-Action-Advocacy” (3A) provides the framing for our VIA curriculum and programme to accentuate the importance of youth volunteerism through student-directed VIA. Our students, as thoughtful leaders, will step forward to advocate for the good cause they believe and lead others to achieve position and sustainable change for the community. Our VIAP is crafted in three tiers:
Tier One: Cohort VIA programmes
The cohort VIA programmes centralised on specific theme:
Secondary One: Environmental Awareness Secondary Two: Junior Care Secondary Three: Elder Care
For the secondary One cohort, to develop the sense of care and belief in self to make a difference and contribute to the community, a recycling project was embarked to collect items like newspaper and clothes. All proceeds garnered from the recycled items were donated to the Society for Physically Disabled.

With the insights and knowledge gained, they shared with the school to create greater awareness of the challenges and resilience demonstrated by the patients. The class went on to organise a fund raising in school to sell handicrafts made by the patients and even rally volunteers to participate in MDAS’s flag day.

W2 Cluster Art Student artists from five secondary schools, Swiss Cottage Secondary, Hillgrove Secondary, Yusof Ishak Secondary, Kranji Secondary and Jurongville Secondary, came together for this mega-installation artwork called ‘A Journey in Space’.
The theme of Space has been symbolically used throughout to relate to the image of space in universe parallel to our environment. At the same time, the theme focused on spatial concept. Students were channelled into their own inner artists as they made marks onto sphere by experimenting with given materials. They would then contribute their spheres to a mega-installation artwork with the same given theme of space, led by Ng Yang Ce; Singapore’s multidisciplinary artist who makes sculpture, drawings and installations. The mega artwork installation was conceptualised to bring all the spheres together through the sub theme of embracing unity in diversity. The idea was to let students reflect on their differences through the spheres and at the same time, give them the notion of connectedness. PAGE SWISS COTTAGE SECONDARY 36 YEARBOOK 2016

While recognising the varied nature of the cultural heritage from the different ethnic groups, we also acknowledge the commonalities among these cultural heritages and the role that they play to unify Singapore as one.
Our students were exposed to several cultural heritages such as our traditional cuisines and the use of Singlish which helps to bring Singaporeans together from all walks of life. Food vendors selling a wide variety of cuisines ranging from satay, ice- kacang and teh tarik were called in to educate our students on the rich heritage of these cuisines. The lower secondary classes also had the opportunity to try their hand at playing various traditional games such as the top, five stones and chapteh. Teachers and students alike had a fun time playing these games together while learning about the heritage of these games.
It was a fun and memorable day as the school came together to commemorate Racial Harmony Day. The sight of our students in various ethnic costumes and the smell of the piping hot satay will remain etched in our mind for some time to come. PAGE SWISS COTTAGE SECONDARY YEARBOOK 2016 41

We looked out for one another and helped out whenever possible. I also felt a sense of accomplishment and understand the value of resilience.
