Singapore Physical Education Association

Mr Leonard Koh Yiak Kheng


President (2022 - 2024)

Welcome to SPEA

The Singapore Physical Education Association (SPEA) is a non-profit professional organization founded by late Mr Lau Teng Chuan (our first President) and a team of pioneering Physical Education (PE) teachers in 1975.

 

The association is currently led by a team of dedicated voluntary members from different established PE and Sport organizations, serving to champion the ideals and professional practices of Physical Education in Singapore. We are committed to the promotion of high standards, sound practices and absolute professionalism in the PE and Sport community.

 

To achieve our vision, we strive to provide quality services, professional development resources, and customized support for members through a wide range of high-quality professional development programmes, networking opportunities, as well as recognition systems for exemplary PE and Sport professionals.

 

We warmly welcome you to join us as a registered member (click here) and be part of the SPEA family!

Invite to contribute - Articles for upcoming SPEA newsletter, 2022, Issue No.2

Dear Members & Readers

We would like to invite members to contribute to the upcoming issue of the SPEA Newsletter Issue No.2. The newsletter will reach members of SPEA, PE Teachers and Sports Coaches.

Theme for SPEA Newsletter Issue No.2, 2022 (Nov/Dec Issue)

"Ke Garisan. On your mark."

Building on the previous newsletter theme of turning the tide, we recognize that we are now in the new phase of a post-pandemic world. COVID-19 has impacted the way we live, work and play. Sadly this includes sporting activities we love. The critical question is how PE and Sports coaches can leverage the unique opportunities and navigate the challenges as we adapt to the new normal.

"Ke Garisan" is a Malay term used in track events and signals athletes to be ready to start the race. Analogically, how are PE and Sports Coaches prepared to navigate the post-pandemic world?

We invite all PE and Sports coaches to share how they are preparing for the opportunities and overcoming the challenges in the post-pandemic world as we strive to build a more active and healthier SG.

Topics can include:

We look forward to your professional sharing and contribution as fellow professionals in this fraternity. Do contact me at ho_j_yen_louis@moe.edu.sg for more details.
