Student-Athlete Programme
The SKSS Student-Athlete Programme adopts a 6-prong approach aimed at providing a supportive ecosystem for students to develop holistically in sports, academic learning and other domains of growth.
Beyond playing the sport, as part of Educational Career Guidance, students are also exposed to sports related knowledge, post-secondary courses and career pathways.
Students can also consider opting for Exercise & Sports Science as a subject in their upper secondary years.
