Student-Athletes Shine at Water Polo and Taekwondo NSG
National School Games: Taekwondo and Water Polo
Taekwondo
Gwen Koh En Qi (Secondary 1) put up a standout performance in her debut competition at the NSG Taekwondo (Poomsae) Championships 2022! Executing every move with power and precision, she captured the attention of the judges and secured a score of 6.34 points. This put her in second place on the leaderboard, merely 0.3 points away from the gold medallist in the 'C' Division Girls Black Belt category.
The Taekwondo (Poomsae) Championships format was similar to last year's where student-athletes performed in front of a live video recording, and all performances were judged by an off-site panel.
Water Polo
Three post-secondary student-athletes - Lau Wei Na, Janelle Ng Shang En (both IBDP Year 6) and Michelle Tan Ting Yee (extended IBDP) – teamed up with a formidable team from St Andrew’s Junior College for water polo exhibition matches against Raffles Institution (RI). Held at Our Tampines Hub, the combined team had a convincing win on both days against RI, known for its strong water polo team and constant podium finishes. The SAJC-Sports School team had control of both games with a score of 15-8 and 19-10.
