The annual Overcomers Run has the primary objective of fostering a healthy lifestyle among both students and staff and takes place at Pasir Ris Park. In the lead up to this event, students undergo dedicated training during their Physical Education lessons.
Beyond just enhancing their physical fitness, this training provides an opportunity for them to grasp the significance of values such as self-discipline, perseverance, and resilience, which are crucial in enabling them to successfully complete the 3.5km race. Parents are also warmly invited to join and bond with their children during the run.
The Cheering Competition is a distinctive programme of PRCS. Prior to the competition, each class, along with their Home Tutors, dedicates time to collaborate and practise for the competition. Under the guidance of their fellow student leaders in the class, students gain experience in crafting a cheer routine lasting approximately 3 to 4 minutes, which they later perform as a unified class on stage.
Numerous creative cheers are will be developed by the students, incorporating synchronized physical movements, innovative lyrics, and the creative use of props. Throughout this creative journey, students acquire valuable teamwork skills, peer leadership capabilities, and enhance their ability to manage relationships effectively.
The objectives of the ICG for Sec 1 to 4/5 students are to encourage mass participation in sports, provide a platform for classes to compete as a class and cheer for their class and promote healthy living. Students get the chance to play and compete in different sports, such as Floorball, Softball, Tchoukball, Netball, Badminton, that they have learnt during PE lessons. In the lead up to ICG, students learn to practise in their respective teams and strategise to form the optimal team for each sport.
Through the ICG, students learn to work as a team, support one another and pick up important values, like fair play, respect and care for team and school mates.
The Healthy & Active Programme (HAP) is planned and conducted by the PE Department to cater to students whose Body-Mass-Index (BMI) is above the acceptable range.
The aim of HAP is to educate our students on the importance of healthy eating and being physically active.
Sec 1 students engage in a team-based exploration of the Sports Hub using a race format, applying the knowledge they had acquired from their Outdoor Education module in an unfamiliar context. This experience allowes them to practise skills such as navigation and risk assessment.
Additionally, students will have the opportunity to visit the Sports Museum, where they will delve deeper into the role of sports in nation-building. They will be able to gain insights on how sports can promote active and healthy lifestyles among Singaporeans, as well as the pivotal role played by the Sports Hub in inspiring greater participation in sports within the Singaporean community.
The PE Department collaborates with service providers to deliver high-quality sports programs for the students according to their interests. Students have been exposed to activities such as Bowling and Archery Tag with the intention of enhancing their sports skills and knowledge and encouraging active participation in sports.
Furthermore, we aspire to foster teamwork, character development, and a sustained interest in sports participation among our students through these programmes.
As part of Staff Appreciation Week (SAW), graduating students engage in a friendly competition with their teachers in the Teachers vs Students Game. This event aims to foster connections and strengthen the relationships between staff and students.
To encourage an active and healthy lifestyle for both students and staff, a monthly ACES workout is conducted. During ACES, the entire school participates in a collective workout session, led by student leaders and accompanied by energizing music. These workouts are skillfully choreographed by our Crestian Senior Leaders (CSLs).
