Sport at Dulwich College (Singapore) and Links to Academic Excellence

results, is a strong foundation for each individual. Through the Senior School, students are exposed to a cleverly engineered and well-balanced approach to training and sport for all. High performing students are then nurtured through the Student-Athlete Support Programme (SASP), providing extensive support in the four key pillars of technical and tactical support: individual health and fitness plans, cognitive support and training and lifestyle mentoring to support their academic futures. At Dulwich College (Singapore) sports and academic excellence are dove-tailed to ensure the student achieves in all areas. Early morning training sessions help students to focus in class and instil discipline and positive behaviour patterns which are then transferred into the classroom.

The College has created an environment where sports staff assist students to participate at whatever level they aspire to, recreationally, as well as supporting those who endeavour to play sport at an elite level; there are pathways available for all. It is the attention to the individual and the positive development of intrinsic behaviour values that makes sport at Dulwich College (Singapore) so unique, popular and to date incredibly successful for the whole community, improving not simply sports results, but behaviour, respect and academic attainment across the board. Demonstrating commitment through both ongoing resource investment and providing students access to a notable range of state-of-the-art sporting facilities, it is the personalised approach which is the core of the sports programme.
