Physical Education at OCAC is meant to not only encourage children to exercise but incorporate the skill of lifelong fitness. Fitness endurance can be individual, partner, or team focused. Physical Educations holistic perspective is concerned with the development of every person's intellectual, emotional, social, physical, artistic, creative and spiritual potentials. It seeks to engage students in the teaching/learning process and encourages personal and collective responsibility.
In order to promote the efficient development of school sports work, deepen the development of "one school and one brand" sports work in SIP, and enrich students' physical exercise activities, the Education Bureau of SIP organized the 2020 SIP Elementary school students' fencing competition on September 26. In this competition, OCAC had eight players to compete. On the field, the young fencers of OCAC were agile, skilled and motivated. After several anxious and nervous competitions, two young OCAC fencers placed with two champions and two runners-ups.
Awards:
1. G6 Zhu Tingyi, Women's Saber Champion in Group A
2. G5 Wang Yuzhou, Men's Foil Champion in Group B
3. G6 Mao Yifei, Women's Saber Runner-up in Group A

The Men's Group B foil finals, Wang Yuzhou's score against his opponent in a very tense atmosphere. After a fierce see-saw chase, Wang Yuzhou won. At the moment he won the championship, he took off his mask and collapsed on the ground exhausted but exhilarated with joy and excitement which was both delightful and distressing.
The winners not only won glory for the school, but also added luster to SIP. In October, they will also participate in city competitions on behalf of SIP. We hope that the young fencers of OCAC will continue to persist effortlessly and achieve a more brilliant record in the city competition!
As an emerging sport, fencing can not only cultivate students' graceful movements, elegant temperament and good manners, but also exercise students' physique and promote their health. In OCAC’s fencing class, students learn fencing rules, master basic fencing movements, improve coordination and agility, experience the essence and fun of fencing, appreciate the chivalry of fencing, and improve their psychokinesis quality. At present, in addition to fencing, the school has also set up school teams for rock climbing, baseball, basketball, badminton, golf and other sports. By providing students with professional guidance, the school further improves the overall level of various sports in the school.
In OCAC’s PE classes, a great deal of attention is paid to the physical fitness training of students, including the basic quality exercises such as coordination, reaction, agility, strength, explosive power and endurance. At the same time, PE teachers combine the IB teaching philosophy to teach students to respect each other (including themselves, opponents, coaches and referees), actively explore and think, learn from others through observation, and be good at accepting constructive criticism, so that they can be better by improving themselves.
In OCAC, physical education mantra is not only to encourage children to take more exercise, but a state of health and well-being and, more specifically, the ability to perform aspects of sports, occupations and daily activities.
