Physical Education

The yearly 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 run-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. Before this event, 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 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, like 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.

In a collaborative effort, Sec 1 students engaged 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 allowed them to practise skills such as navigation and risk assessment.

Additionally, students had the opportunity to visit the sports museum, where they delved deeper into the role of sports in nation-building. Here, they gained insights into 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.

To encourage an active and healthy lifestyle for both students and staff, monthly ACES 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). 

As part of Staff Appreciation Week, a Teacher-Student game, such as Captain's Ball, is organized where graduating students engage in friendly competition with their teachers. This event aims to foster connections and strengthen the relationships between staff and students.

Utilizing the findings from the Sec 1 survey regarding their interests, PE department collaborates with service providers to deliver high-quality sports programs for the students. In recent years, activities, such as bowling, have been organized for students, with the goal of exposing them to these sports, enhancing their sports skills and knowledge while 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 programs.
