Key Programmes

1. Play in Action
Play in Action imparts skills and knowledge of a range of sports across the three categories of invasion, net barrier and striking-and-fielding. This serves to introduce students to different sports for them to discover their interests and enable them to develop the habit of participating in sports. The department organises an Inter-Class Games for every level where students experience and apply their learning at a competitive platform and display values such as sportsmanship, teamwork and excellence.

2. Body in Motion
Body in Motion builds students’ fitness level, increases their nutritional knowledge and cultivates habits towards a healthy lifestyle. The ReAction Programme provides additional support for some students. Partnering Active SG, identified students take part in physical activities and other fun sports outside school with guidance from certified fitness instructors to encourage them to continue to engage in physical activities after they graduate. The department organises the Annual Cross-Country Run to cultivate school spirit and to challenge students to strive for excellence.

3. Outdoor Education
Students are taught different outdoor and life skills at various levels in three broad areas: Camp Craft, Shelter Building, Orienteering, Risk Assessment and Management. Students are then given opportunities during their Secondary 1 “Beyond Your Comfort Zone” Outdoor Adventure Learning Camp to apply their skills and knowledge for the outdoors, build their resilience to face adverse situations and develop a sense of ruggedness. Their skills are further extended either during their Outward Bound School (OBS) Camp or  in their Secondary 3 “Redefine Your Comfort Zone” Outdoor Adventure Learning Camp.

4. Sports Enrichment Programme (SEP)
The SEP is organised for Secondary 2 and graduating students to expose and enrich them in sports not taught in the PE curriculum. The programme provides  students with the opportunity to learn a new sports, encourage active participation and instill their interest in picking up a sport beyond their secondary school years.
