Physical Education

The annual P5 outdoor adventure camp was conducted at MOE Adventure Centre at the Labrador camp site. Through a 3 day and 2 night camp experience, the girls will go through a variety of outdoor challenges like team building games, high/low elements, abseiling, rock climbing, outdoor cooking and kayaking. This is the first opportunity for many of our girls to camp overnight and learn about the importance of basic survival skills and community living. The camp is also a chance for the girls to collaborate in teams and showcase their expressive talents in the showpiece campfire show for all parents in the finale. 

The department reached out to a partner school to design a facilitation training programme for our student leaders. Tapping on Outdoor Education elements, our student leaders gained early exposure to the service leadership framework in building a culture to serve and guide for others. Adopting an experiential approach, the girls were taught to pick up skills in belaying and conducting of low elements games. 

A forum designed to engage parents on issues of building lifelong perspectives of fitness, different stakeholders were invited to elucidate their best practices and recommendations to design a conducive and active physical learning environment. This forum encouraged a range of perspectives to be shared. Ideas generated from the discussion were subsequently followed up to design a range of activities to benefit students.  In this collaboration, parents and fellow educators are highly valued in the roles they played aligned with department’s approach to structure a lifelong learning for all students and their communities.

Embarking on a trek to the island’s highest point, the challenge was laid out to our girls. The expedition was designed to incorporate a variety of learning points in scientific exploration themes. The learning journey created a live discovery and challenging environment for the girls to raise self-awareness of the beauty and wonders of nature.

Following up on the trek, the girls got to experience one of the well conserved nature spots. Exploring in this idyllic location, the girls were able to expand on their learning perspectives in a relaxed family based setting. Observing the rustic nature of the environment, students are able to appreciate the fine wonders of nature while enjoying quality family bonding time at the same time.
