Mission

Overview

At JYSS, the PE department crafts a curriculum based on Self-Determination Theory. This approach aims to nurture three key elements in our students:

1. Autonomy
2. Competency
3. Relatedness

We use the Sports Education Model as our framework, offering students authentic and enriching sports experiences.

- Students join teams for entire game seasons, culminating in exciting interclass competitions.
- Beyond playing, students take on various roles such as Team Captain, Coach, Equipment Manager, Umpire, and Data Statistician.
- Through collaborative learning groups, students develop crucial lifelong skills including:

* Problem-solving
* Valuing teamwork
* Goal-setting
* Maintaining accountability

This approach ensures our students not only enjoy sports but also gain valuable life skills that extend far beyond the playing field

PE Programmes

Programmes	Objectives
Sports Champions Development	Sports Champions Programme is a leadership development programme to encourage students to serve the school community through sports. In this programme, students will be given the opportunity to develop qualities of leadership and responsibility and demonstrate organisational ability and decision-making skills. Sports Champions are role models; helping others achieve their potential, helping their communities get fit and lead healthy lifestyles.
Inter-Class Games	The interclass games are a culminating activity for the PE modules. Students compete and perform officiating duties for the games.
