Last updated 30 July 2026

Discover how De La Salle School's PE programme builds fundamental motor skills and healthy habits through a range of physical activities including the outdoors.

The development of our Lasallians in the physical domain entails the teaching and learning of a broad range of motor skills that can be built upon as students grow up and take up physical activities that interest them. In addition, our students learn to make choices that will promote the development of a healthy lifestyle. The school also has a range of sports CCAs that provide our students with opportunities to further develop their interest and hone their skills in the physical domain.

Health Week 2026: Live Like an Athlete, Grow Like a Lasallian

Health Week 2026 was a vibrant celebration of healthy living, active lifestyles, and Lasallian values as our school came together under the theme "Live Like an Athlete, Grow Like a Lasallian." Through a week of exciting recess activities and inspiring sharing by former Olympian Dr May Ooi, students discovered that true success is built on discipline, resilience, and teamwork, while living out the values of Faith, Service, and Community both in school and beyond.

Primary 4 Day Trip – Yew Tee Park

Laughter, exploration, and discovery filled the day as our Primary 4 students ventured to Yew Tee Park for an exciting Outdoor Education Day Trip. Through nature journalling, hands-on exploration, and plenty of time to play, students discovered the beauty of their neighbourhood while learning that everyone has a role to play in caring for shared community spaces and keeping our parks clean and welcoming. Along the way, they created joyful memories with their friends, strengthened their appreciation for the community around them, and developed a deeper sense of place that will stay with them long after the trip.

P5 Cohort Adventure Camp

Every year, all Primary 5 students participate in a 3-day, 2-night camp, where they put into practice the outdoor education skills acquired during Physical Education lessons. The camp also provides valuable opportunities for students to experience communal living, develop resilience, and strengthen bonds with their classmates and form teachers.

This year, the camp was held at the MOE Dairy Farm Outdoor Adventure Learning Centre. Throughout the camp, students took on various responsibilities, such as serving their peers during meal times and maintaining the cleanliness of the campsite. They also demonstrated teamwork and leadership as they participated in team-building activities and challenge ropes course and hiked along the Wallace Trail.

The highlight of the camp was the lively campfire, where each group showcased their creativity and teamwork through spirited performances. These shared authentic experiences not only fostered confidence and camaraderie but also created core memories that the students will cherish for years to come.

Lasallian Athletics
