Dear Students, we are making further changes to the GSM details for AY2020 Sem 1. In the meanwhile, please do not download any information from this portal for now. Thank you for your understanding and watch out for this space!


The Physical Fitness and Training module is tailored for Year 3 students headed for National Service. Fitness programs are specially curated for PES A - B1 students to learn how to properly train and perform at the various stations for the Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT). Students will be split into groups by their physical proficiencies and be encouraged to achieve their best score by the end of the module.

This module will be compulsory for students who have failed or did not attempt the pre-test IPPT in March or September prior to the start of the semester.

Note: For students with a PES status from B2 onwards or have a medical certification clearly stating you are excused from physical acitivity, do submit your official medical memo or a screenshot of your official PES status to your respective school's Module Leader (ML), and do it as soon as possible so that you can be excluded from this module and be allowed to register for alternative GSMs.

Physical Fitness & Training (15-hour module)

This 1 credit physical module is designed to build up the fitness of our graduating students in preparation for the National Service (NS). The students will undergo a series of different training which include circuit training, plyometric, strength training, endurance training and speed training. These trainings not only strengthen the student’s individual fitness, but also provide knowledge on the different types of training.
