About Us
The GESS Canoeing team was established in 1997 to provide students with an opportunity to experience canoeing and dragon-boating at a leisure and competitive level. Since its establishment, the team has participated in many competitions and in particular, the annual National Inter-Schools Canoeing Championships. Today the team has over 80 male and female members from the four divisions who have developed significantly in terms of both physical and mental strength.
Our Activities
On top of the weekly water trainings to build up water confidence and individual skills in preparation for competitions, all members of the GESS Canoeing team will also need to undergo the One Star Kayaking Course certified by the Singapore Canoe Federation, to equip themselves with the necessary basic knowledge and ability to handle the sport. A training camp is also conducted in Semester One to foster leadership qualities, team bonding and discipline among the team members.

Over the years, the GESS Canoe Sprint Team has achieved numerous awards and accolades.
