Making Waves in Every Game
“My school has been a vital force in pursuing my passion for sports, especially swimming. With dedicated coaches and excellent facilities, the Academy has helped me refine my skills and push my limits.
Thanks to their constant support and expert guidance, I am a two-time international medallist and have broken many national records.
The encouragement from my coaches and the training environment helped me unlock my full potential not just in swimming but also in various team sports such as football, cricket, basketball and volleyball. I have actively participated in many inter-school tournaments, all supported by my school.
This well-rounded experience has boosted my fitness, discipline and teamwork skills, turning my love for sports into shining achievements that inspire me every day.”

Diving Into Growth and Leadership
“When I first joined the Academy, I never envisioned myself competing in any sports. My journey in sports at the Academy began in Grade 3 when I joined the track and field team. At the start, I doubted my capabilities, but with my teacher's constant support and encouragement, I started to believe in myself.
Soon after, I discovered my passion for swimming. As I started to practise swimming during physical education classes in the Junior School, I became faster and joined the school’s swim team.
Over the years, as I developed as an athlete, I also strengthened my leadership skills as I eventually became the swim team captain. Being a captain taught me how to stay organised and effectively communicate, skills that I will carry throughout my life.”
