Sports

We believe that rugby participation helps develop personal values and skills that transcend sport and contribute to students becoming outstanding global citizens of the 21st century. Our DCSG Sports values of Determination, Courage, skilful development and Graciousness are at the heart of the rugby programme, which is available for all students at the College and starts competitively with the U10s in Year 5.

We aim to cultivate the most enjoyable and safest environment possible, where every student can maximise their personal development. We are committed to ensuring that each team, regardless of level, has excellent provision from an outstanding group of truly knowledgeable staff, led by former Fijian captain Mr. Deacon Manu. This enables everyone to participate at their appropriate level and take pride in representing the College..

We are also committed to giving the boys the opportunity to join a rugby tour at different stages as they progress through the College. We believe that tours provide a wonderful environment in which to build relationships and create memories of a lifetime. We host the FOBISIA Invitational and have toured all over Asia, Australia and over to the United Kingdom.

Rugby is an integral part of life at Dulwich. We link in with the local clubs and enter every competition possible to ensure the students have the most comprehensive and balanced programme possible to prepare them for a life-long love of the game with structures and training programmes available to ensure that every student fulfils their potential, whatever that may be.

Netball Teams start at Under 9 in Year 4 and progress in each year group up to the senior 1st VII. With multiple teams in each age group, every student has the opportunity to represent the College at their level. It is the largest programme in South East Asia.

The provision is delivered by experienced specialists, led by Singapore International netballer Melody Teo, who represented Singapore for over 10 years playing in the 2019 World Cup in Liverpool and now leads the provision across the College.

Students participate in competitions locally in Singapore, regionally in South-East Asia and around the world with tours to Australia and England.

Learning the Dulwich (DCSG) values of Determination, Courage, Skilful application and Gracious behaviour is integral to all sports people at the College. Through playing netball students learn the importance of these values preparing them to be global citizens for the 21st Century.

Football is the largest participation sport across both genders at Dulwich with students having the opportunity to represent the College from Year 3 at U8s and there is a development pathway for all students up to the 1st XIs in the Senior School. Opportunities are available for all, from recreational to higher-ability groups. Dulwich uses a late specialisation model which allows students to participate in a multitude of other sports.

By emphasising development and personal growth, through our DCSG values (Determination, Courage, Skill and Graciousness) we create technically gifted young players who understand the importance of giving their best and learning to win and lose with dignity.

Students compete in local and regional competitions and festivals, whilst also touring all over the world. We have a pathway structure that enables the most talented footballers to have access to personal mentors, video analysis of their technical and tactical development and specific strength and conditioning programmes. The pathway leads to scholarship opportunities in the US, whilst there are also former students now with professional contracts in the top divisions in England.

Football at Dulwich College (Singapore) really does cater for every student of all abilities to help them to become global citizens prepared to make a difference in the 21st Century.

Dulwich College (Singapore) is recognised as one of the top schools in the region for swimming. We have six full-time coaches, led by Director of Swimming Mick Massey.

We recognise the importance of swimming as a life skill, ensuring that every student at the College swims once a week from Year 4 and below, above that every child gets the opportunity to enjoy swimming in blocks throughout the academic year. Through this curriculum provision, students are identified and can access the performance pathways for swimming which occur before and after school, catering for students of all levels and commitment.

By using the DCSG core values of Determination, Courage, Skill and Graciousness swimmers at Dulwich prepare to compete at their appropriate level. The College regularly hosts local meets and takes part in all national and international festivals and competitions that are appropriate for swimmers of all levels.

It is a crucial part of our provision helping all students to develop sound fundamental movement patterns whilst enabling our better athletes to prepare to compete in local and international competitions.

By focusing on the DCSG core values of Determination, Courage, Skilfulness and Graciousness students have the opportunity to develop their technical skills in the various athletic disciplines as well as learning how to push themselves to limits they were previously unaware they could achieve.

The House Athletics programmes ensure that every student in the College learns to compete whilst those more serious athletes have the opportunity to train throughout the year in their preferred disciplines.

The senior squads train all year round with our specialist coaches coaching on the DCSG traits of Determination, Courage, Skills and Graciousness.

Students take part in local competitions and also get the opportunity to play in international festivals and tournaments throughout Asia. Our pathway programme ensures that the most talented have access to video analysis to improve their technical and tactical development along with personalised strength and conditioning programmes.
