That\u2019s why we adopt a values-driven approach designed to nurture student well-being. This holistic methodology prioritises a rigorous academic programme informed by the IB PYP and English National Curriculum. However, it also holds space for other aspects of well-being, such as mental health, social support and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this blog, we take a closer look at student well-being and how OWIS Digital Campus creates a safe, inclusive environment for students to thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Why Does Student Well-Being Matter?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditionally, schools have hyper-focused on academic performance as an indicator of a student\u2019s well-being. But at OWIS, we know that this approach is short-sighted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, we value academic performance. However, we also recognise that the domains of well-being are intricately intertwined. You cannot have academic well-being without physical well-being, or social well-being without cultural well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put plainly, a student\u2019s success hinges on their happiness. When a student is happy at school, they feel safe to explore, blossom and reach their fullest potential. This carries into adulthood, too. According to Ed Diener\u2019s publication, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/labs.psychology.illinois.edu\/~ediener\/Documents\/Diener-Chan_2011.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy People Live Longer: Subjective Well-Being Contributes to Health and Longevity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, happy people:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live longer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Succumb to fewer illnesses<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay married longer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commit fewer crimes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Produce more creative ideas<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work harder and better on the job<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make more money<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help others more<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ergo, we at OWIS see it as our social and moral duty to produce happy, well-rounded students.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>How OWIS Nurtures Student Well-Being<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We understand that students excel in safe, supportive environments. With this in mind, we adopt a holistic approach to education, incorporating learning that promotes mental, emotional, social, physical, academic and cultural well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mental and Emotional Well-Being<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our educators and staff check in regularly with students to identify and address any stressors that may be affecting their mental health. All students also participate in mindfulness activities to learn to become more resilient to stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, we adopt a kindness-led approach to help students grow beyond academics. From preschool to secondary school, students learn the importance of kindness and compassion and are encouraged to illustrate these values daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Social Well-Being<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A student\u2019s social competence is an indicator of future success in many areas of life, from developing interpersonal relationships as an adult to maintaining consistent employment. With this in mind, educators at OWIS offer many opportunities for students to build strong social networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preschoolers, for example, are afforded free play with peers, allowing them to develop important social skills such as sharing and turn-taking. Meanwhile, form tutors integrate social-emotional learning into <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/punggol-digital-campus\/secondary-school\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">secondary education<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, helping students build confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Physical Well-Being<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At OWIS, we support students\u2019 physiological health through our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">physical education programme<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Tailored to the developmental abilities of each age group, this programme includes engaging lessons that teach students how to develop healthy habits, move their bodies and exhibit good sportsmanship.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Academic Well-Being<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our rigorous curricula are informed by the IB PYP and English National Curriculum. They are designed to provide students with the academic foundation they need to succeed, both in university and in their future careers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike some schools, which emphasise rote memorisation, OWIS prioritises the need for inquiry-led, skills- and values-based learning. This allows students to become critical thinkers capable of problem-solving, analysing complex issues and applying their skills to real-world situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Cultural Well-Being<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an institution, we exemplify a deep appreciation for cultural diversity. Our faculty and staff hail from diverse backgrounds, holding degrees from prestigious global institutions and possessing extensive travel experience. This rich international heritage naturally carries into the classroom environment, helping shape students into <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">global citizens<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, we have structured our admissions policy to ensure a fair representation of nationalities within our student body. To achieve comprehensive diversity, OWIS has implemented a 30% student nationality cap, limiting the proportion of students from any single nationality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Learn More About How OWIS Promotes Student Well-Being<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join our upcoming <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/admissions\/events-and-webinars\/owis-digital-campus-open-house\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open House<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to discover how our student-centric curricula and kindness-driven value system can help your child find life-long happiness and success.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover a nurturing environment at OWIS Digital Campus where student well-being takes centre stage.
