Raffles Junior College places a great deal of importance on good
physical health and the development of sporting skills. Apart from
physical fitness, PE lessons also inculcate in students habits and
skills for lifelong recreational pursuits.
At RJC, because we recognise the diverse needs
and interests of our students, PE lessons emphasise personal enrichment
rather than conformity. Besides providing avenues, such as specialised
coaching, for those who are engaged in competitive sports to hone
their skills, students are also encouraged to take up games for
the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle.
An important feature of PE at Raffles is the Elective
Programme which makes provision for first-year students to opt for
and undergo training in games, such as swimming, squash, tennis,
dance, gymnastics, rock climbing and outdoor pursuits. Students
attend sessions that they have opted for and receive training in
that particular activity.
PE at Raffles
has succeeded in developing excellent athletes. But more importantly,
PE has also cultivated in students good social skills, an active
and healthy lifestyle, and the appreciation of sportsmanship, which
is the mark of a true Rafflesian.
