About Fencing

Developing our students

During CCA sessions, members acquire physical, technical, tactical and mental skills of fencing. They also get to spar with each other in a controlled and safe environment.Through the sparring sessions where sportsmanship is valued and practised in many forms such as the salute and the shaking of hands after the bouts, members get to understand and practice Resilience, Respect and Sportsmanship.


Selected members will also get to represent the school in fencing competitions held by Fencing Singapore, clubs and other schools.

Growing hearts and minds

Besides physical skills, fencers will be challenged in the mental aspects of fencing. The teaching methodology will illustrate the importance of resilience and analytical thinking—life skills which will allow students to gain self-confidence and become “Winners in Life”.

Empowering leaders and talents

Older primary students are paired up with lower primary students for mentorship and are empowered to lead their younger members in some activities. This provides the opportunity for them to mentor and grow their leadership skills.
