ACTIVITIES
The Activities programme is a vital part of student life and learning. The programme activities are divided into six categories linking to our UWCSEA skills and qualities where our students will develop, explore and engage in activities beyond the classroom. By trying out new things, they discover what they are good at, and are motivated to succeed.
OUTDOOR EDUCATION
The opportunities for learning at UWCSEA extend far beyond the classroom as student take on experiential challenges that build resilience, collaboration and leadership. While the programme begins in Grade 1 and builds through the Primary School, the Middle School and High School Outdoor Education activities provide new and more intense challenges to students. Incorporating high ropes climbing activities on campus, expeditions within the region and, for older students, participation in the National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA). The outdoor education programme is an opportunity for students to connect to nature, to discover their strengths outside the classroom and, most importantly, to develop the determination, adaptability and teamwork needed to meet the challenges these adventures present.
PERSONAL AND SOCIAL EDUCATION
We know that in order for learning to be effective, learners must feel secure and supported. At the same time, part of individual learning is growing in self-awareness, so that students understand themselves and how they interact with the people around them. The importance of this is captured in our dedicated Personal and Social Education (PSE) programme.
SERVICE
The UWCSEA Service programme empowers students to become aware, able and active contributors to the community, whether on campus, locally in Singapore or internationally working with our NGO partners in neighbouring countries. Middle School Service is organised into 4 areas: Environmental Initiatives, Local Service, Global Service/Focus Groups and Leadership. Service is at the heart of our mission, and service activities are a vital part of the learning programme.
