Find out how the PE Department builds active, healthy students through sport, fitness, and outdoor learning.
PE Department
Vision:
To develop students to be healthy in body and mind.
Curriculum:
The Physical Education Department is committed to equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to enjoy physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle. We strive to nurture confident and motivated learners who recognize the importance of active living.
The department adopts a Non-Linear Pedagogical Approach to actively engage our students in each game module. This learner-centered model supports students of varying abilities, encouraging collaboration and collective problem-solving during their lessons. By fostering adaptive and inventive thinking, we enhance students’ motivation, deepen their understanding of game play, and promote greater enjoyment in physical activity.
Learning Outcomes:
Demonstrate improved and sustained levels of physical fitness and apply key principles of physical training and fitness theories in practice.
Explain the principles of weight management and make informed decisions to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
Collaborate effectively with peers and demonstrate sports literacy by applying rules, strategies, and teamwork skills across diverse sporting contexts
Apply critical and adaptive thinking during game play by analysing situations, making tactical decisions, and transferring game concepts across different sports genres.
Demonstrate basic outdoor skills—such as orienteering, outdoor cooking, and tent pitching—while showing appreciation for nature and environmental responsibility.
Key Programmes
Inter-class Games
Our inter-class games serve as the culminating activity for the PE modules. Students not only compete but also take on officiating roles, applying what they have learned in authentic game situations. This makes the learning experience meaningful and relevant, while fostering high levels of motivation and enjoyment among students.
Annual School Cross Country
Our annual School Cross Country event fosters camaraderie and team spirit at the inter-class level. It encourages students and staff to embrace an active and healthy lifestyle, while promoting a vibrant sporting culture across the school.
Inclusivity through Sports
To promote inclusivity through sport, our PE department will conduct adapted sports sessions such as sitting volleyball and badminton for our students. These experiences foster teamwork, enhance spatial awareness, and cultivate empathy among students, while breaking down barriers between participants with and without disabilities.
Cohort Camp
The Secondary 3 Outdoor Adventure Learning Camp aims to instill leadership qualities in students through outdoor experiential learning. In alternate years, our students participate in the MOE–OBS Challenge Course, a five-day, four-night expedition-based programme. In the other years, the school conducts its own OAL camp for the Secondary 3 cohort.
NAPFA Test
The NAPFA Test is conducted annually for all Secondary 2, 4 and 5 students. It encourages students to maintain their fitness through regular physical exercise and reinforces the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Olympic Society
Our Olympic Society engages students in healthy living programmes. Games, nutritional talks, and fun fitness activities are thoughtfully woven into the training programme to promote holistic well-being and an active lifestyle
