Sport at Dulwich College (Singapore) and Links to Academic Excellence
The College recognises that competition is key to any sporting programme and there is a vast array of opportunities, both local and global, which ensure students have maximum exposure to fixtures and competitions at all levels. As part of the Dulwich network, students take part in the Dulwich Games, a celebration of sport for students in the Junior School. Every four years, the Dulwich Olympiad enables Senior School athletes to compete in iconic venues around the world, against all the Dulwich Colleges. Students can take part in the FOBISIA Games as well as other international tournaments and sports tours for all individual sports, with local leagues and competitions a weekly occurrence within ACSIS (Athletic Conference of Singapore International Schools) and also against local schools.
In only five years, Dulwich College (Singapore) is already seeing the results of its investment, celebrating outstanding achievements in all sports, notably leading the ACSIS Season One leader board, winning 10 championship shields. 76 squads represented the College in the first season of sport, led by a coaching team in excess of 80 personnel. This enabled over 800 students to represent the College in the local ACSIS leagues, and two thirds of the squads finished in the top 3 of their respective leagues. Success came across the board, from participation in Year 3 to high performance in the Upper Senior School; all students have performed consistently well.
Regardless of the level of sporting ability, Dulwich College (Singapore) works with students to make them the best that they can be, focusing on developing attitudes and behaviours, not simply training skills and tactics. It is the attention to the individual and the positive development of their intrinsic behaviour values that makes sport at Dulwich College (Singapore) so unique.
