Physical Education
Vision: Every child competent and confident in movement, sports and games.
Mission: Every child embracing an active and healthy lifestyle.
The Physical Education (PE) programme aims to enable every child to be confident and competent in movements so as to enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle.
Delivered through effective pedagogies and purposeful assessment, the PE programme enables students to apply the skills, knowledge, practices and values to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Additionally, it can help them acquire the 21st century competencies to thrive in the fast changing and complex world.
Students enjoy fun and meaningful learning experiences to learn movements, sports skills, games concepts and healthy lifestyle habits. At P1 and P2, students are equipped with fundamental movement skills. From P3 to P6, students are given opportunities to assessment of their own application of sports skills and game concepts in game settings. Through experiential learning and harnessing technology meaningfully, students develop 21st Century Competencies (21CC) through self-evaluation, collaborative learning and critical thinking.
The PE programme promotes outdoor learning using place responsive pedagogy. Through sensory experience, solitude and journaling, students develop a sense of place with people and natural environment within the school. Students also learn the benefits of choosing green time over screen time.
Our school’s PE programme is also aligned to the national GROW WELL initiative to inculcate healthier lifestyles in children. Every year, the PE Department organizes GROW WELL Week as part of our continuous effort to promote the holistic well-being of students. Students learn about the five pillars of Grow Well: Eat Well, Sleep Well, Learn Well, Exercise Well, and Bond Well. These pillars encourage students to develop balanced and healthy lifestyles by making good food choices, getting enough rest, staying physically active, building positive relationships, and taking care of their overall well-being.
