General Information

Gymnastics, a competitive sport that tests an athlete's strength, rhythm, balance, flexibility, and agility. There are three major forms of competitive gymnastics: artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, aerobics, acrobatics and trampoline. Unfortunately, aerobics and acrobatics are not recognised as official sports in the Singapore sports Council. All the following sport categories are open to both sexes, except rhythmic gymnastics (only for women).

Artistic gymnastics consists of prescribed sets of events, each of which is scored separately by judges to determine a winner. Rhythmic gymnastics consists of several events in which the gymnasts use objects such as balls and hoops while performing choreographed routines, which are judged to determine a winner. And in trampoline sports, trampoliners bounce on a trampoline, while performing somersaults, twists, and other movements. They are judged on the movements they perform while airborne.

Gymnasium

The pride of the school, the gymnasium is perhaps one of the most elaborate features of the school. Equipped with parallel bars, vaulting horses, and strategically placed cushions and mats, the gymnasium is constantly used by the school gymnastics club for their practice and training. Indeed, it is so well-furnished, even inter-school gymnastics competitions are held there. Our world-class gymnasium is fully equipped for the benefit of the student population and our gymnastics team.
