Physical Education

We have a comprehensive, well-articulated syllabus designed to help students to achieve the goals of physical education.

• Goal 1: Acquire a range of movement skills to participate in a variety of physical activities.

• Goal 2: Understand and apply movement concepts, principles and strategies in a range of physical activities.

• Goal 3: Demonstrate safe practices during physical and daily activities with respect to themselves, others and the environment.

• Goal 4: Display positive personal and social behaviour across different experiences.

• Goal 5: Acquire and maintain health-enhancing fitness through regular participation in physical activities.

• Goal 6: Enjoy and value the benefits of living a physically active and healthy life.

The six goals are equally important - each interacts with others in a well-planned programme that addresses the knowledge, skills and values desired for every student.

Key Learning Experiences

• Physical Education Lessons
  In their time with Evergreen Secondary School, students undergo compulsory Sports Modules like Badminton, Football, Softball and Games Organisation Module. In addition, students have the opportunity to take part in Elective Sports Modules like Tag Rugby, Frisbee, Basketball, Netball, Handball and Floorball. We place emphasis on developing their values through our structured outdoor education, physical fitness and PE health lessons.

• Cohort Wide Camps
  Sec 1 Camp Confidence, Sec 2 Camp Dynamism and Sec 3 Camp Resilience which are held every year. These camps are aimed at promoting self/peer leadership, self-confidence and peer interaction. They also create opportunities for students to develop SE competencies of Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Management and Responsible Decision making through various team-building activities.

• EVG Road Run
  An annual event since 2007, the EVG Road Run provides an excellent opportunity for staff, parents and students to interact while engaging in exercise. The Road Run also incorporated a ‘Fun Run/Walk’ element so as to encourage students who were overweight, students with asthma and other medical conditions to participate.

• EVG Sports Carnival
  The EVG Sports Carnival is a key initiative which offers sports competitions to all EVGians to encourage mass sports participation. These sports include Inter-House Badminton, Soccer and Dragon Boating. These competitions are meant to enrich the students’ experience in playing sports and to enable them to continue playing the sport as recreational activities beyond school.

• Character & Leadership Development through Sports (CLDS)
  Sport Singapore has developed the CLDS Framework that features the use of game activities and specific role playing for the learning and development of performance, social and moral values and attributes. Evergreen Secondary School is one of the pilot schools to adopt this framework into PE lesson planning. The CLDS Framework works on the basis that ethical lessons and values-in-sport must be specifically “taught” rather than just caught from the experience. Through CLDS, the explicit teaching of values and student leadership development is infused into the PE pedagogies.
