Department Motto
The Zhenghua PE experience
Physical Education (PE) is an integral part of our school curriculum, designed to support the holistic development of every student. By emphasising the importance of movement and one’s interaction with the environment, PE nurtures students into physically competent and confident individuals who value and enjoy a lifetime of active, safe, and healthy living.
At Zhenghua, our PE curriculum provides progressive and meaningful learning experiences across the secondary school journey. By the end of Secondary 4/5, students are introduced to at least six different types of physical activities and have opportunities to compete recreationally at the inter-class Sports Fiesta and the biannual Road Race.
By the end of Secondary 3, students acquire key skills such as First Aid, orienteering, and a strong sense of safety through team belay, rock climbing, and scaling high elements. They also hone their organisational and outdoor education skills by planning and carrying out their own class expedition. These experiences culminate in a 4-Day 3-Night Outdoor Adventure Learning Cohort Camp, a fully student-run highlight of our school’s Learning for Life Programme (LLP).
Through such experiences, PE builds not only physical competence but also values, resilience, and 21st Century Competencies that prepare students to thrive in a fast-changing world.

The Music Programme at Zhenghua Secondary School provides students with opportunities to explore rhythm, melody, harmony, and creativity through performance and composition.
Grounded in our school vision of developing Dynamic Learners, Thoughtful Contributors, and Exemplary Leaders, the programme helps students build confidence, teamwork, and communication skills through music-making.
At the lower secondary level, Sec 1 students learn cajón and guitar, performing as ensembles and sharing their music with peers through platforms such as canteen screenings and break-time showcases. Sec 2 students advance their skills on the ukulele, applying techniques such as tab reading and plucking in band performances. They also engage in songwriting, combining lyrics, chords, and melodies to create original works.
Through these experiences, students develop discipline, collaboration, and creativity, while discovering the joy of expressing themselves through music.
