Get Active! is a series of events that aims to provide PESS and NIE students with the opportunities to learn and pick up new sports that may not be taught in NIE. The events are planned and conducted by PESS students from different academic years.
Our first ever Get Active! Event – An Introduction to Silat, was held on 21 December 2020. It was conducted by Year 2 PESS student Muhammad Fikri (pictured on the right), with the assistance of several members from the NTU Silat team. Participants from both NIE and SSM learnt a variety of artistic moves and combat techniques, all in accordance with COVID-19 Safe Management Measures (SMM).
On 26 January 2021, the second Get Active! session – An Introduction to Hockey, was conducted by Enrico (pictured on the right) and Ashriq (pictured on the right of the bottom photo) who are Year 1 and Year 3 PESS students respectively. Participants had the opportunity to learn the basics of dribbling, tackling, passing and shooting in hockey.
Participants got to apply what they had learnt during the session, in mini-games held towards the end of the session. However, due to the COVID-19 SMM, they were only allowed to play among their fixed groupings.
PESS Club held our third Get Active! event – An Introduction to Frisbee, on 16 March 2021. The event was highly anticipated with many students from NIE indicating their interest to attend the event. The event was conducted by Year 1 PESS student Syasya with the assistance of her teammates.
Participants displayed with enthusiasm and active participation throughout the event.
PESS Club is determined to organise more of such Get Active! sessions in the coming academic year. Do keep a lookout on our social media (@niepessclub) for future events!
