Cyber Wellness Programme
Find out how GMS(P) helps students become responsible digital learners, and access useful Cyber Wellness resources for parents and educators.
Two student emcees stand on a school hall stage holding microphones, presenting in front of a projected slide that reads "Cyber Wellness: Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Smart Online!" with an illustration of a laptop. The school motto "To Grow in Friendship, Body and Mind" is displayed above the stage.
Cyber Wellness (CW) refers to the positive well-being of Internet users. It involves an understanding of online behaviour and awareness of how to protect oneself in cyberspace.
Learning Cyber Wellness by doing
Be it at a kiosk or a skit presentation, students learn by doing at GMS(P)
Dangers in the Digital World Kiosk
Two primary school boys interact with a tall interactive touchscreen kiosk labelled "Dangers in the Digital World", produced by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA). One boy points at the screen while the other engages with the display.
P5-9 Revision Gurus
Two student performers sit on the edge of a school stage, acting out a skit with a projected chat conversation behind them. The slide, titled "P5-9 Revision Gurus", depicts students discussing sharing exam answers online, illustrating the risks of academic dishonesty in digital spaces.
In GMS(P), the Cyber Wellness programme is designed to develop our students into responsible digital learner, based on these guiding principles:
(1) Respect for Self and Others
(2) Safe and Responsible Use
(3) Positive Peer Influence

Besides learning about Cyber Wellness through our structured FTGP and CCE lessons at the various levels, positive online behaviour and safe surfing habits are also inculcated through platforms such as Assembly Talks, School Messaging Board and Cyber Wellness Week.
