Physical and Health Education Curriculum
The PHE and Sports Development Framework guides the delivery of physical education and sports within the school system. It envisions a nation of active and physically competent individuals. Everyone values, participates, and pursues physical activities and sports of their interest and ability in order to enrich their lives, be they for recreation and well-being, personal challenge and achievement, or for national honours.
In alignment to the Physical Education and Sports Development Framework and using the goals of Physical Education as a guide. The school’s PE curriculum was developed and aims to cultivate a healthy and actively lifestyle in its students by laying a strong foundation for acquisition of fundamental motor skills, movement concepts, providing opportunities and developmentally appropriate movement experiences done through a school-customized curriculum anchored on the school’s ICAR2E Values value.
There are seven learning areas that facilitate the organisation of learning experiences in the primary schools.
PHE in Lower Primary (P1- P3)
The lower primary level focuses on mastery of fundamental motor skills such as locomotor, non-locomotor and manipulative skills with application of movement concepts to develop efficiency, effectiveness and versatility in students’ performance as they practice and transfer their skills across the seven learning areas to become competent movers.
PHE in Upper Primary (P4-P6)
Once the foundation of fundamental skills mastery is laid at the lower primary level (P1- P3), the upper primary level (P4- P6) extends on the mastery of discrete skills to focus on more complex combinations and sequences of movements, and skills application in more recognisable forms of activity and games.
Due to the spiral nature of the PHE curriculum, the learning of fundamental skills are revisited from time to time to sharpen and deepen the students’ mastery.

Key Programmes
Recess Play
To encourage students to be active, PE equipment such as skipping ropes, soccer balls, foam balls etc are provided in the school’s basketball court and field for the students to play during recess. This allows students to make good use of their free time to exercise and enjoy the outdoors.
Terrific Thursday
On Thursdays, SKGians look forward to starting off the day with an exercise routine. Primary 5 and 6 students will be engaged in morning walk/jogs in the school field while Primary 1 to 4 students will be involved in the Jump Jam Workout, a fun and exciting kids aerobic programme.
Terrific Thursdays seek to motivate SKGians to enjoy exercise, thus promoting healthy and happy individuals in SKG.

Games Carnival
Games Carnival is a key SKGPS sporting event that is held on Children’s Day. The aim of the event is to provide opportunity for students to apply psychomotor skills that they had learnt during PE lessons, in a fun, cooperative and competitive game environment. These games not only promote mass participation but also put to test both individual and team camaraderie and help build class affiliation, school spirit and bonding among the students and teachers.
