Dummy Physical Education

Key Programmes / Activities

Physical education (PE) is an integral part of the school curriculum, providing students with opportunities to acquire the knowledge, skills and values that support the lifelong pursuit of an active and healthy lifestyle. The PE programme also lays a strong foundation for students who wish to pursue physical sports at higher levels. Together with other school programmes, PE, Outdoor Education, and Physical Sports CCA contribute to students’ holistic development and the cultivation of emerging 21st Century Competencies (E21CC) such as collaboration, effective communication, critical, adaptive and inventive thinking - preparing each learner to thrive in a fast-changing and highly connected world.

Tiered Approach to Physical Education

Recognising that every child has different physical abilities, interests and motivations, the Department adopts a two‑tiered approach to provide differentiated and meaningful experiences in Physical Education:

  • Tier 1: Broad‑based exposure and development of physical competencies through mass participation at a recreational level

  • Tier 2: Specialised training for students with interest and aptitude, offered through Physical Sports Co‑Curricular Activities for participation at a higher level

Through this tiered approach, every child is enabled to experience joy in physical activity at a level that best suits their interests — whether recreational or competitive — thereby fostering positive attitudes towards lifelong participation in physical activities.

At the primary school level, students focus on developing fundamental movement skills through the application of key movement concepts. They build efficiency, effectiveness and versatility in movement as they practice and transfer skills across the three learning areas of PE:

  • Physical Activity

  • Outdoor Education

  • Physical Health and Safety

Through these integrated learning experiences, students grow into confident and competent movers who are physically literate and health‑conscious.

Supporting Grow Well SG

Our school actively supports Grow Well SG, a nationwide health initiative that promotes healthy lifestyles in children through a whole‑school approach. This initiative focuses on the four ‘Wells’:

  • Eat Well

  • Sleep Well

  • Learn Well

  • Exercise Well

Beyond regular PE lessons, the PE Department organises a range of programmes and activities to support the Grow Well SG initiative and further enrich students’ learning experiences:
