The Sports School sends its student-athletes to the Little Athletics Western Australia (LAWA) Perth State Track and Field Championships. The LAWA Perth State Meet is an annual event that sees up to 3,000 athletes between 10 and 17 years old participating in the local meet. The carnival-style meet is a good platform for our athletes to hone their skills in different events. The Sports School sends up to 10 student-athletes each year to compete in the age-group competition, while other top performing student-athletes may also be selected by the Combined Schools Team to represent Singapore Schools.

Special Programmes
OVERSEAS TRAINING CAMPS |
---|
Singapore Sports School Track and Field Academy student-athletes have opportunities to train overseas and learn from physically and technically stronger athletes.
The variety in training environments and training partners have shown to add value to our training programme. Student-athletes have gained motivation from training alongside elite Thai athletes at Thammassat University as well as youth athletes from Taoyuan Senior High School in Taiwan. Taoyuan Senior High School is a powerhouse in the Middle Schools Track and Field in Taiwan. A varied training programme was introduced to take advantage of the different terrain and facilities. The overseas training camps have contributed to a change not only in training attitude, but an improvement in performance. |
