Physical Education

Vision

To nurture pupils who are physically fit and adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Teaching Approach

The PE programme aims to develop students in the 3 main domains of psychomotor, cognitive and affective.

The lower primary PE programme focuses on the acquisition of fundamental motor skills such as locomotor, non-locomotor and manipulative skills, as well as movement concepts to develop students into effective, efficient and versatile individuals.

In the upper primary, the PE programme extends into the acquisition and development of combination skills, sequences of movements and application of game concepts across different sports and games.

7 Learning Areas in Physical Education:

Athletics (From P3 onwards)
Dance
Games & Sports
Gymnastics
Outdoor Education
Physical Health and Fitness
Swimming (P4)
