WELL-BEING & ATHLETICS

WELL-BEING POSITIVELY INFLUENCES STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOME

Well-being is a lifestyle that we are constantly striving to achieve to develop everyone's physical, intellectual, emotional, mental, and social health

Studies show there is a positive association between personal well-being and a student窶冱 learning. At ｺ｣ｽﾇﾊﾓﾆｵ, our aim is for all students to find an activity that they enjoy to promote mental and physical wellness in their lives.

SWIMMING

Swimming at ｺ｣ｽﾇﾊﾓﾆｵ is not just an activity, it's a way of life. Our world-class facilities and vibrant community create an environment where everyone, from beginners to advanced swimmers, can embrace their passion for swimming.

Weekly lessons with our specialist teachers follow internationally-recognized programs, helping learners develop essential skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Through our progressive planning system, learners build confidence, master techniques, and develop important values like teamwork and sportsmanship. Every learner is encouraged to participate and excel, making swimming at ｺ｣ｽﾇﾊﾓﾆｵ a truly inclusive experience that supports both physical well-being and personal growth.

VIPERS SWIM TEAM

Competitive swimming is an important part of our athletic program. Within the age and ability squads, swimmers learn and develop performance and team membership skills within an aquatic arena. Opportunities to compete against other international school swim teams are provided throughout the year through GBAC and BISAL.

Junior Development Squad (Serpent)
This is our entry level competitive squad for young swimmers (ages 6-12) to improve their technique across all strokes and learn all the key race skills they will need to compete. Entrants to this squad must display a high level of the technical foundations (catch, streamline, kick etc). Training commitment: 2-3 sessions/week.

High-Performance Squad (Sea snake)
Swimmers follow on from the JD squad in improving technical aspects of the strokes and race skills, but now with an increase in total weekly volume. This squad also introduces swimmers to longer sessions (1.25hrs to 1.5hrs). Training commitment: 4-5 sessions/week.

WELL-BEING

We have invested a lot of time and energy into developing our well-being program to promote physical movement and for learners to take those necessary breaks to clear the mind, recharge, and jump back in their learning. We provide our learners with the tools they need to follow their own well-being journey that will hopefully lead them to an active, healthy, and happy lifestyle.

The well-being program is built into our learner窶冱 schedule and our well-being learning designer facilitates and supports the set-up of spaces to invite movement and mindfulness to energize their body and mind.

We focus on both learning about and learning through physical activities and support all learners through their own individual process of understanding who they are and how they would like to approach their own personal wellness.

ｺ｣ｽﾇﾊﾓﾆｵ VIPER

Our new mascot pays homage to the green pit viper, a species native to Thailand and throughout Southeast Asia. In many cultures, snakes are symbols of wisdom, and their shedding is seen as transformation, rebirth, and renewal. Similarly, ｺ｣ｽﾇﾊﾓﾆｵ is on a mission to transform the future of education to become more adaptive, innovative, and responsive to change.

Just as snakes help maintain a healthy ecosystem and environment, ｺ｣ｽﾇﾊﾓﾆｵ is continually finding ways to foster an evolving and innovative learning environment.

The viper is a symbol of strength, agility, courage, and determination. The role of our mascot will continue to grow and evolve, but as of now, it will be featured on our sportswear, guarding and protecting our athletes!
