Physical Education (PE) in CCPS aims to develop physically competent and confident individuals who enjoy a lifetime of active and healthy living safely and responsibly.

Five goals serve as a guide to provide an array of opportunities for the children.

• Movement Competence
  Children are competent and confident to participate in a range of physical and outdoor activities.
  

• Healthy Lifestyle Practices
  Children have a personal commitement to healthy lifestyle practices in physical activity, nutrition, sleep, outdoor time and hygiene.
  

• Safety Mindset
  Children apply risk assessment to manage daily and physical activities with respect to self, others and the environment.
  

• Core Values
  Children make informed and responsible decisions with regard to personal behaviour and social interactions based on sound values-based judgements.
  

• Enjoyment

P.A.C.E@CCPS

Leveraging on this sound and strong PE curriculum, P.A.C.E is designed to cultivate a deep love for sports and outdoors and promote a lifelong healthy living attitude and nurture character.

At CCPS, we envision our children to be:

• Physically Fit,

• Adventurous,

• Courageous and

• Empowered Leaders through Sports

Through PACE, all CCPS children would be nurtured into young people who are future-ready, fit, healthy and strong mentally and physically. They will

• Build their emotional resilience and mental and physical perseverance so that they will have the energy and spirit to keep trying no matter how hard the odds may be; and

• Learn to make decisions and take responsible risks as part of character formation
