Wee Kim Wee Physical Exertion, more commonly known as WeePE, is a student-run social sports club formed by a group of year 1s. The initiative started at the beginning of 2013 and extended through the rest of the semester with weekly sports sessions. The annual Inter School Games (ISG) provided an opportunity for Wee Kim Wee students to break out of their Orientation Groups (OGs) and bond through sports. Though the school did not excel overall in terms of positioning, there was a desire to improve the school’s standing in the coming games. With the motivation of fostering stronger bonds amongst peers and breaking the common stereotype that mass media students are “not good at sports”, the idea of WeePE was born. There was a consensus that Facebook was the best platform to publicise WeePE to the students from Wee Kim Wee. After a committee photoshoot, some old school word-of-mouth advertising during lectures, weekly reminders of WeePE sessions on whiteboards, WeePE conducted its first session on 21st January 2013. The process of transforming an idea into reality was daunting at first but was made possible with the support of our friends.
