Department Programmes

Olympism@WVPS

The PE department aims to inculcate the Olympic values of excellence, respect and friendship through Olympic Day. In 2019, West View Primary School organised our inaugural Olympic Day at Bukit Gombak Sports Stadium. The pupils participated in a myriad of athletic events and had fun in the Telematches. Leading up to this event, our pupils worked together as a class to prepare for the events. In the same year, our junior sports CCA members also visited the Singapore Sports Museum at Sports Hub as part of our Olympism@WVPS.

Healthy Canteen

Besides exercising, our school strives to create greater awareness of different aspects of health through the use of learning spaces. The school canteen was given a new facelift with learning walls to remind pupils on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Also, set meals incorporating food from the four main food groups - brown rice and wholemeal bread, meat and others, vegetables and fruit – are also introduced. This is to help ensure that pupils receive the right nutrients necessary for their growing needs.

As many dietary preferences are inculcated from young, it is important to shape these early in life and empower children to make healthier choices throughout life.

Fruittie Veggie Programme

The programme encourages students to eat more fruits and vegetables, to drink mineral water instead of sugary drinks and to buy healthy snacks during recess. Pupils receives a token which they can deposit in the “West View Bank of PRIDE”. The classes with the most token win prizes.

Sugar-free Mondays

Sales of sweet drinks and carbonated drinks are not allowed on Mondays in a bid to encourage pupils to consume less sugar and drink water as an alternative.

Play@Recess

Play@recess encourages pupils to engage in unstructured play to promote a healthy lifestyle. Pupils are able to loan out PE equipment to play. Pupils develop their social skills and build friendships as they play together.

Dancercise

Our Dancercise workout sessions emphasise the importance of active living amongst pupils.Pupils are energised after the workout to start the day right. Pupils discover the fun in learning novel and interesting dance routines too.
