Physical Education has key platforms for character building and leadership development. They play a key role in building an inclusive community of active and healthy individuals. The Physical Education programme seeks to nurture students to be lifelong learners by enabling them to learn and acquire sporting skills that can lead them to lead a healthy lifestyle.
We have a range of Sports and Games taught during our Physical Education lessons. Focus is on exposure to territorial Games, net barrier Games and games that involves hand-eye coordination. These games aid in the psychomotor development of our students, enabling them to pick up games with ease.
Agility, Balance and Coordination are key fundamental aspects of movement, which we focus on during our lessons. As part of our After-School Programme, inter-class games are organized for our students to apply what they have learned in a friendly yet competitive environment.
Sports Fiesta, NSG Games and inter-class games are platforms where skills such as sportsmanship, fair play and working cohesively are put to practice.
Fitness Training is also crafted into PE lessons mainly through sports and games. Projects such as Healthy Snack give students the opportunity to research and understand the value of nutrition, sleep and well-being.
As part of our PE curriculum, we also expose our students to outdoor education. Students learn to appreciate and respect nature, and be more aware of their surroundings. Other skills such as outdoor cooking, pitching tents and caring for plants are also an essential part of the curriculum.
