Requires Social Skills

Math Skills

Cognitive Load Management

(Virtual) Collaboration

Sense-MakingAdaptive Thinking

Social IntelligenceCross Cultural Competencies

New Media Literacy

Reference: Institute for the Future

Our BeliefsEducation is not about finding the model answer as

many problems our children will face in the future will have no model answer

There is no map, so we need to provide them with a compass (adapted from sharing by Mr Lim Siong Guan with SMSS staff)

Failure is part of the learning process, whether in the formal curriculum or social / life skills

Assessment is part of the learning process where the learning is more important than the outcome

SMSS Compass: School Values

(Upholding Integrity, Learning Continuously, Taking Pride, Being Resilient, Showing Care)

Mission

To provide an all-round education in

a Christ-centred environment to

nurture confident, creative and caring young ladies who will serve God, the

Country and the Community.

Vision

A Community of Learners Growing and

CHALLENGE OF ADOLESCENCE(ACCOUNT OF ADOLESCENCE, ANNA FREUD)

I take it that it is normal for an adolescent to behave for a considerable

period of time in an inconsistent and unpredictable manner; to fight

her impulses and accept them; to love her parents and to hate them; to

revolt against them and to be dependent on them; to be deeply ashamed to

acknowledge her mother before others and unexpectedly, to desire heart-

to-heart talks with her; to thrive on imitation of others while searching

unceasingly for her own identity; to be more idealistic, artistic, generous, and

unselfish than she will ever be again, but also the opposite: self-centred,

egoistic, calculating.

Such fluctuations and extreme opposites would have been deemed

highly abnormal at any other time of life.

At this time they may signify no more than that an adult structure of

personality takes a long time to emerge, that the individual in question does

not cease to experiment and is in no hurry to close down on possibilities.

Common Developmental Characteristics during Adolescence

Learning about his/her own identity:

o Who am I?

o Where am I headed?

o How do I fit into society?

Seeking acceptance from peers

Leaning on good relationship with parents and guidance from them

I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous

are your works; and that my soul knows right well.

Psalms 139

UNTANGLEDGUIDING TEENAGE GIRLS THROUGH THE SEVEN TRANSITIONS INTO

ADULTHOOD

LISA DAMOUR, PH.D.

POSSIBLE DISPLAYED BEHAVIOUR

• The Cold Shoulder

• Attitude of a boarder in the home

• Reluctance to engage in family activities, preferring their private

space

• Allergy to Questions (from adults)

• Monosyllabic response

• Showing annoyance / irritation when questions are asked

• Surprisingly Mean

• Change in dressing (e.g. experimenting in more revealing

clothes, make-up)

KEY POINTS FROM CHAPTERS 1 & 2 OF BOOK

• Replacement of the family with friends

• Easily (and overly) troubled by peer conflicts (a.k.a. friendship

issues)

• The “frenemy”

• Engaging the risky / “out of ordinary “behaviour when with the

group of friends

• “Tribal Warfare”

• Addiction to Social Media – connecting with friends

POSSIBLE DISPLAYED BEHAVIOUR


•A sudden internal pressure to separate themselves from

anything that seems childlike, whether consciously or sub-

consciously (including relationship with parents)

•Overwhelmed by onset of puberty but uncomfortable to

talk about the changes, especially for girls whose physical

development pushes ahead much faster than the

psychological development

•The swimming pool metaphor

WHAT THE GIRL IS GOING THROUGH(CONSCIOUSLY OR SUB-CONSCIOUSLY)


• Feel the need to replace the family with a tribe that they

feel proud to call their own

• Pressure to be in a tribe as it affects the “social status”

•Using meanness to maintain social power,

Popular ≠Well-liked

•The brain’s social emotional network outmatch its

sensible cognitive control system (charged by social

rewards)

WHAT THE GIRL IS GOING THROUGH(CONSCIOUSLY OR SUB-CONSCIOUSLY)


WHAT ADULTS CAN DO

•Do not take the rejection personally (the toggling between

wanting independence and returning to child-likeness is part of

the transition process)

•Continue to insist on basic courtesy from the teenager

•Doing things with the teenager, rather than doing it for her

before letting her do it alone

• Preparing the teenager for the online world before she is

allowed to navigate it freely, set the terms of use from the start

•Age appropriate exposure and material provision for the

teenager


WHAT ADULTS CAN DO

• Help the teenager be assertive without being mean

• Model conflict management for the teenager

• Do not set threats that cannot be carried through

• Provide ways out for your teenager when faced with

uncomfortable situations

• Help the teenager realise that there are problems that are

beyond them, and call for help is not betrayal of their friends

• Make clear to teenager rules of virtual social behaviour is the

same as that of real social behaviour

Taken from jasminekevans.com

School’s Approach to Students’ Holistic Development Process of teaching a child what type of behaviour is

acceptable and what type is not acceptable, and how totake responsibility for the consequences of her actions.This may involve punishment, such as a time out, and atother times, rewards, such as compliments.

The Authoritative approach: Clear expectations andconsequences with high level of support structure for thechild. There is flexibility and collaborative problem solvingwith the child when dealing with behavioural challenges.

In short, High Expectations with High Support.

Focus

The key is to help students

own the problem

make informed decisions

be more self-disciplined

Absence from school

Students should only absent themselves from schoolif they have a very good reason eg very unwell. Theymust be covered with an MC

Students who wish to leave the school during schoolhours must obtain permission from thePrincipal/Vice-Principal at least 3 working days inadvance.

The school will only accept up to a maximum of 4days of absence with letters of excuse from theparent/guardian in a year for valid reasons orextenuating circumstances

School makes the final decision on what constitutesa valid reason for absence

Absence from School

Absence from exams/tests/weighted assessmentsmust be covered by a medical certificate. Else thestudent will receive a zero for the paper.

Absence from exams/tests/weighted assessmentsthat are covered by letters of excuse will only beaccepted under extenuating circumstances.
