Students will have to abide by the National School Games (NSG) guidelines if they wish to participate in these competitions via the School Adult Representative (Parent) scheme.

Requests for Age Dispensation will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and school will have the final say.
At Primary 1 and 2, we encourage our students to focus on building the love and foundation for their sport and be ready to participate in competitions that are developmentally appropriate for them come Primary 3.
