Canoeing

The Canoeing CCA is an exciting and challenging sports CCA that offers students a unique opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive through the sport of canoeing. Whether you are completely new to the sport or looking to push yourself further, the Canoeing CCA welcomes students who are ready to challenge themselves both physically and mentally. Through regular training sessions on land and water, students learn what it means to persevere, work as a team, and take pride in their progress. More than just a sport, canoeing is a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and camaraderie.

As a member of the Canoeing CCA, students will develop strong technical and physical skills that are essential to the sport. These include mastering paddling techniques, improving balance and boat control, understanding race strategies, and building strength and endurance through structured land training. Safety is a key focus, and students also learn important water safety skills that help them become confident and responsible paddlers.

Students are exposed to a range of enriching programmes, such as the 1-Star Kayaking Certification, where they gain foundational kayaking knowledge and skills, as well as the annual Sea Expedition that allow them to apply what they have learnt in real-life environments beyond the calm waters. Members of the CCA also represent the school in the National Inter-Schools Canoeing Championships (National School Games), experiencing the thrill, discipline, and pride of competing at a national level.

The Canoeing CCA strongly supports the development of key 21st Century Competencies outlined by MOE. Through demanding training sessions and competitions, students build resilience and self-management, learning how to cope with fatigue, setbacks, and pressure. As canoeing is both an individual and team sport, students also strengthen their communication and collaboration skills, working closely with teammates to improve performance. Students are given opportunities to take on leadership roles and responsibilities, helping them develop leadership skills, integrity, and accountability. They learn to reflect on their performances, adapt their techniques, and respond to changing water and weather conditions, nurturing critical and adaptive thinking. These soft skills are valuable not only in the CCA, but also in school and future life beyond the classroom

The Canoeing CCA is proud of the achievements of its students and seniors, who have laid a strong foundation for the team. In 2025, the team achieved a 4th place podium finish in the JK2 500m event, during the National school games(NSG), a testament to the discipline, teamwork, and determination of the paddlers. Beyond medals and results, seniors have built a culture of commitment, mutual support, and pride in the CCA, inspiring juniors to continue striving for excellence.
