Introduction

The Physical Education (PE) Department is committed to promoting the national vision of having physically competent individuals who are active in their daily lives. To achieve this goal, the PE programme is designed to instil resilience and a lifelong passion for physical activity in our students. By participating in our PE programme, our students can enjoy improved physical and mental well-being, develop sportsmanship and teamwork, and cultivate a lifelong passion for physical activity.

Some of our learning outcomes include

Physical Activity (various sports, movement challenges)
Outdoor Education (adventure, environment, risk management)
Physical Health & Safety (fitness, wellness, lifestyle, safety)

Key Programmes

In accordance with the updated PE curriculum, we provide our students with a diverse range of physical activities for their PE lessons. With at least one sport from each category of net-barrier, striking-fielding, and territorial-invasion, our students can participate in a variety of sports, including but not limited to Badminton, Basketball, Football, Frisbee, Handball, Softball, Swimming, and Volleyball. This approach enables our students to experience a range of sports and develop various physical and cognitive skills.

Sports learned and played during lessons in our school venues

All these sports that the students learn will culminate in Intra-Class, Inter-Class or Inter-House Games. This promotes self-monitoring and peer-evaluation (where appropriate) to encourage responsibility for one’s own learning, and to support the learning of others in an authentic context. In essence, the games played in our Inter-House Games (IHG) are runned by students where they referee the game and organise themselves into groups for play. Students are given choices to play the different games offered during IHG, allowing students to show and practise explicitly values and character taught in PE: e.g., how students behave in games, show teamwork, respect, resilience.

We also provide opportunities for students to voice their opinions through our Class X (Class Expedition). Students will use the time in PE lessons to plan an expedition with the consideration of their peers, risk assess independently and to be able to respond to new information, feedback, or changing circumstances by adjusting their strategies, mindset, and actions throughout the expedition planning process, achieving various complex skills from the 21st century competencies.
