EDGE Sports Programme

Our Purpose

The EDGE Sports Programme is a key domain under EFPS’s Total Curriculum. Through sports, students build physical literacy while developing essential 21st Century Competencies (21CC) such as resilience, teamwork, and self-management.

More than just physical activity, EDGE Sports uses structured play to teach values, reflection, and goal-setting — helping Edgefielders grow into confident, collaborative, and adaptable individuals.

P2: Foundations in Movement

Modules: Kids Athletics • Rope Skipping • Outdoor Learning

At Primary 2, students develop fundamental movement skills through high-energy activities that are fun and purposeful. The programme nurtures coordination, agility, and spatial awareness while reinforcing self-awareness and teamwork.

• Students set personal fitness goals and monitor their progress.

• They participate in relay races, partner activities, and group challenges that strengthen cooperation.

• Outdoor Learning introduces basic navigation and appreciation of the environment.

Focus: Confidence, self-regulation, empathy, and physical coordination.

Every step build strength, joy and the spirit to do better.

With every leap and stride, we grow in resilience, in joy and in the courage to keep moving forward.

Every step we take leads to the discovery of the world around us and the strength within us.

P3: SwimSafer

Module: National SwimSafer Programme

All P3 students undergo the SwimSafer programme, ensuring they acquire lifesaving water safety and swimming skills.

• Students learn water confidence, safe entry, floating, and basic strokes.

• The programme builds discipline and respect through structured progression and personal responsibility.

Focus: Personal safety, perseverance and responsibility.

P6: Learn to Play Sports

Modules: Tchoukball • Floorball • Fencing • Archery Tag • Inline Skating • TKD/Wushu • Volleyball

In their final year, students choose one sport and delve into it more deeply. This encourages ownership of learning and develops game sense, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

• Students learn sport-specific skills like passing, defending or skating.

• Practise strategy-building, team communication and goal-setting.

• Ethics and fair play are taught explicitly, nurturing respect and integrity.

Focus: Collaboration, decision-making, communication and respect for rules and roles.

With every glide and stumble, we learn to believe and be bold.

Every throw is a choice to connect and trust.

Together, we lift each other with strength, trust, and teamwork.

Our Approach

Across all modules, EDGE Sports applies a consistent framework that emphasises:

• Ipsative Growth: Students evaluate their own progress over time.

• Reflective Practice: Students reflect on efforts, challenges, and outcomes.

• Character Building: Sports become a platform to practise empathy, responsibility, and unity.

• Goal setting and Resilience: Students experience challenge, develop discipline and celebrate progress.

Through focus and discipline, we build strength in body, in mind and in character.

Our Impact

Through the EDGE Sports Programme, Edgefielders:

• Grow in physical competence and confidence

• Learn to manage emotions in competitive and cooperative settings

• Build resilience and self-discipline

• Communicate and collaborate with peers

• Develop a lifelong positive attitude toward fitness and well-being

In every module, every movement, and every match — students learn not just how to play, but how to live well.
