Sport is an integral part of school life at North London Collegiate School (Singapore) – the school’s goal is to involve, excite and motivate their students in physical activity. They do so through a vibrant, exciting programme of competitive and non-competitive sports activities. This will encourage maximum participation, individual aspiration, team achievement and personal excellence of sports in Singapore schools.

NLCS (Singapore) builds on the rich history and heritage of NLCS (UK) by offering students what it describes as an inspiring and life-changing educational experience that will help them become successful, well-rounded and compassionate human beings.

Sports activities play a central role in the school’s goal of educating individuals to embrace challenges and take responsibility for shaping a better world. Sport develops students’ confidence and resilience through physical, technical and mental stimulus, and exposes them to teamwork and leadership opportunities.

Billy Molloy is Director of Sport at NLCS (Singapore); he says, “Our Sports Programme aims to discover and develop the potential in every student, commensurate with age and ability in a wide range of sporting activities. Participation in sports is an integral part of a student’s educational experience, and the schools­ provides varied and extensive sports opportunities for all students who wish to participate.”
