The Greendale Canoeing Team is the CCA to be in if you are a person who thrives on hard work, overcoming challenges and hungers for success. As a niche CCA in the school, our student members in the team carry the torch, contributing greatly to the school’s focus on sustaining CCA excellence. Our canoeists participate in a holistic training program that goes beyond the basic strokes and control of their kayaks. We believe in a training program that incorporates concepts from Outdoor Education. With body and mind conditioning, our members learn how to strategize the use of their physical strength and mental resilience in the heat of a race to overcome the odds.

As a team, we canoeists believe in working hard at attaining high standards in both their academic and CCA:

  • Students undergo 1star and 2star canoeing courses with Singapore Canoe Federation before being selected to be in the school team.
  • Students selected for competition will participate in the Inter-Schools Canoeing Championships which takes place in mid April every year.
  • Other than competitions, members can also look forward to club activities such as an annual outdoor camp, cross training experiences, outdoor experiences as well as local sea expeditions.

  • Enjoys water based activities
  • Able to swim 30m without assistance
  • Able to endure physical training both on land and water (2-3 times weekly)
  • Enjoys working together with team members and thrive for excellence
