MOE OBS Programme
2025 MOE-OBS Challenge Programme (MOC)
Our Secondary 3 students will be participating in the MOE-OBS Challenge Programme (MOC) in 2025. The MOC programme offers a unique opportunity for our students. As part of the National Outdoor Adventure Education Masterplan, the MOC programme seeks to develop ruggedness, resilience and build cohesion amongst youths. During the OBS course, students undergo a shared Outdoor Adventure Learning (OAL) experience and are provided opportunities to learn to work together in new, challenging, and authentic situations with their peers to overcome various challenges.
Programme
The MOC programme for the school will take place either from 05 May 2025 to 09 May 2025 (Batch 1) or 13 May 2025 - 16 May 2025 (Batch 2). The MOC will offer our students unique opportunities to work together with students from other schools to overcome various team challenges using the outdoors as the ‘classroom’. Through this course, they will learn to:
-
manage challenges through self-directed learning and make informed choices; and
-
appreciate the natural heritage of Singapore and recognise that everyone plays a part.
The MOC is part of the curriculum, and every secondary 3 student is expected to attend the programme unless he/she has valid reasons for not doing so e.g. a medical condition preventing safe participation.
Safety
OBS has an excellent safety record built on stringent requirements from its international network of Outward Bound centres around the world. The MOC has been designed with safety in mind, where accredited instructors and registered nurses work together to ensure your child’s safety during the programme.
All parents of each participant will be required to submit a medical declaration form as part of the registration for the programme. A qualified doctor will also be engaged to verify and confirm the medical status of each participant with the follow-ups for participants who need further verification.
