Sport at NLCS (Singapore): Building Strength, Character, and Community
At North London Collegiate School (Singapore), sport is far more than an extracurricular activity — it is a core part of our ethos. We believe that physical education plays a vital role in a student’s personal and social development, nurturing qualities such as resilience, leadership, and collaboration from a young age.
Our philosophy centres on inclusion, ensuring that every student, regardless of their age, gender, race, or socio-economic background, has access to high-quality sporting opportunities. Whether participating recreationally or competitively, our students are encouraged to develop a love for sport that stays with them for life.
A Diverse Range of Sporting Options
From badminton and football to swimming and water polo, students at NLCS (Singapore) enjoy a wide variety of sports tailored to different interests and skill levels. Our aim is to provide a dynamic and engaging programme that keeps students active while helping them explore their passions and develop healthy lifestyles.
Supporting Aspiring Athletes
For students who show exceptional talent and dedication, our Athlete Development Programme offers specialised support. These students benefit from advanced coaching and personalised guidance, allowing them to pursue sporting excellence while maintaining their academic performance. We are proud to see our athletes achieving success on the international stage in sports such as swimming, fencing, and skiing.
In addition to this, our unique Senior Athlete Coaching Programme gives senior school students the chance to mentor their younger peers. Through this initiative, older students share their experience and enthusiasm, while developing vital life skills such as leadership, communication, and teamwork. This fosters a strong sense of community, with friendships formed across year groups and a shared passion for sport.
Global Sporting Opportunities
Our students are also exposed to high-level competition beyond the school gates. NLCS (Singapore) takes part in prominent regional tournaments, including the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA) and South East Asia Student Activities Committee (SEASAC) games.
Furthermore, being part of the NLCS global family gives our students the chance to compete with peers from our sister schools in London, Jeju, and Dubai. One of the most exciting events on the horizon is the 2025 NLCS Games, which will be hosted right here in Singapore. Students will proudly represent the school in athletics, swimming, basketball, netball, and football – showcasing their dedication and team spirit on home ground.
Conclusion
At NLCS (Singapore), sport is not just about competition – it’s about character. It teaches students to persevere, support one another, and strive for excellence in everything they do. Through our inclusive approach and world-class opportunities, we are shaping the athletes, leaders, and global citizens of tomorrow.
