GCE PE- Weight Training for Fitness (Week 2)

The GCE PE subject for Upper Sec boys comprises both an Academic component as well as a Coursework Component.

For the Coursework, the boys will be doing the compulsory module of Weight Training for Fitness in this Semester.

Here we see them in their first session in the gym. Coached by Mr Tan Chong Kiat, our PE teacher, Daniel Lightfoot is giving some feedback on his partner's performance of the bench-press.


In this module, students will not only need to be able to execute the correct movements and techniques but also to be able to give feedback on the way their partners and buddies execute their movements as well.

Here, Mr Tan guides students in arranging themselves to spot, observe and analyse each others technique in performing the crunch.

Hostel Cleanliness Check

It's the start of the new year and we have had a new batch of scholars moving into Victoria Hall. Principal, Mr Low has often lamented on the dismal state of cleanliness that some of the borders exhibit.
But I am proud to say that the VS ASEAN and A*Star scholars under me have had a high standard of room cleanliness. Last year, one of our rooms was awarded a prize by MOE Scholarship Div (I believe it was Duong's room)

Here are the room check results for this term
> H1-04-04 Grade: A
> H1-04-05 Grade: A
> H1-04-06 Grade: B+
> H1-04-15 Grade: A-
> H1-04-16 Grade: B
> H1-04-17 Grade: A
> H1-04-18 Grade: A+
> H1-04-19 Grade: A+
> H1-06-19 Grade: A+
> H1-06-20 Grade: A+

Juding from this, our 'gang' is off to a good start and I'm sure we can be proud to be the cleanest group of boarders in VS.

Let's check out one of the model rooms, H1-06-19.
The boarders are Ho Anh Tung and Tran Phuoc Minh

GCE PE: Skill-Related Fitness

With our GCE PE program on the way, Sec 3B was engaged in exploring various domains of skill related fitness.
We had a Skill Test Circuit today where students were tested on:
Agility
Co-ordination
Power
Reaction Time
Balance
Speed

Some outstanding performances were seen at the Agility station. Students were required to do the most number of consecutive double-leg jumps in a criss-cross fashion without stumbling or knocking the marking poles. Dilip Thapa amazed us with his incredbile Nepalese break-dancing.

Dilip's streak of 66 consecutive jumps seemed unbreakable until the determined attempt by Amsyar Omar who inched his way in and took him by 67 jumps to 66. Baik Amy! (oops, I mean Amsyar)

In the Reaction Test, participants were to lay on the floor. A partner releases a tennis ball over their stomach and the participant has to move his body away from the ball.
Naren showed us some hip wriggling in his attempt:

Maybe next time I will use bowling ball..... hmmmmm.

Victorian Heroes

We're finally back in school after the EDGE 2008 Sec 1 Orientation Camp.

Here's a tribute to our super-duper-steady-bom-pi-pi Camp Commandant, Mr Amir HMS
as well as our courageous Sec 1 'Heroes'

Enjoy!
