THE TRIM AND FIT AND MINDEF PHYSICAL FITNESS
PERFORMANCE AWARDS 2004
Trim and Fit (TAF) Awards
1. The Ministry of Education has awarded the TAF Gold and Silver Awards to a total of 151 and 150 schools/JCs/CI respectively (see Annex 1) for their efforts in creating greater awareness in students, teachers and parents of the importance and principles of healthy living. This year, there is an increase of 26 schools/JCs/CI receiving the Gold and Silver Awards, when compared to year 2003. (see Annex 2).
2. Over the years, schools have on their own initiative, embarked on various programmes to inculcate in students, a greater consciousness of healthy living as a way of life (see Annex 3). Through such programmes, schools have been making vast improvements in terms of their fitness index. In 2004, the majority (84.4%) of our schools have either clinched the gold or silver award in the TAF awards. This is an increase of 7.9%, as compared to 2003.
3. The TAF awards are presented annually to schools/JCs/CI. Each year, schools/JCs/CI are banded according to their fitness index, results in the National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA) test and percentage of overweight students. The TAF banding criteria are given in Annex 4. Schools/JCs/CI in Band A will receive the Gold Award while schools/JCs/CI in Band B will receive the Silver Award.
MINDEF Physical Fitness Performance Award
4. The Ministry of Defence will be presenting the MINDEF Physical Fitness Performance Award (MPFPA) to 14 Junior Colleges (JCs) and 1 Centralised Institute (CI) this year. The award is given out to JCs and CI whose final year students have achieved the targeted Gold/Silver pass rate in the National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA). The aim is to recognise their efforts in promoting physical fitness.
5. MPFPA recipients will each receive a monetary award based on the number of final year students who achieve a Gold/Silver standard for NAPFA. In addition, JCs/CI that achieves the Best Performer Award and Most Improved Award will be given an additional monetary incentive of $3,000 and $1,500 respectively. Besides the monetary award, MPFPA recipients will each receive a trophy.
6. This year, Millennia Institute will receive the Best Performer Award and Pioneer JC will receive the Most Improved Award. The Merit Award will be presented to Anglo-Chinese JC, Catholic JC, Hwa Chong JC, Jurong JC, Meridian JC, Nanyang JC, National JC, Pioneer JC, Raffles JC, Serangoon JC, St. Andrew’s JC, Temasek JC, Victoria JC and Yishun JC.

Annex 3
GOOD PRACTISES TO PROMOTE TAF PROGRAMME
A) Green Labelling
Schools, such as Dazhong Primary School and Bedok North Secondary School, have implemented the green labelling of food sold in their school cafeterias / canteens to help their students make healthier food choices. The use of Green Food Labelling not only provides visual cues in educating their students on healthier food choices but also encourages students to make good decisions on when choosing foods. In Blangah Rise Primary School, they have gone further by introducing Calorie Cafe in their school. The Calorie Cafe programme aims to help TAF Club members restrict their calorie intake to not more than 350 calories during recess time.
B) Dance Programme
Some schools have engaged their students in the TAF Programme in a variety of fun activities, such as folk and line dances, to sustain their interest. For example, Dazhong Primary School has incorporated line dance as part of their TAF activities and into their ACES Day workout for the entire school. In Westwood Secondary School, all the students, teachers and the principal learnt different Folk Dance steps once a week. Each year, all students in Westwood Secondary School are given an opportunity to perform during their Cultural Expressions- International Folk Dancing Competition.
C) Modified Sports and Games
Generally, students are motivated to be physically active through a variety of modified sports and games. It also aims to enthuse their active participation in physical activities during their free time. Schools, such as Hong Kah Primary School, Canberra Secondary School and Chestnut Drive Secondary School, have introduced small-sided modified sports such as modified rugby, modified soccer and "kick-boxing" into their TAF programme to help students increase their physical activity time.
D) Health & Fitness through Information Technology (IT)
Naval Base Primary and Canberra Secondary School introduced a Diet Analysis & Recipe Analysis software in their teaching and regularly update students on health issues.
E) Health Weeks/Months
Schools adopted different strategies throughout the school year to promote the importance of a healthy diet among their students. Schools like Yuhua Primary and Hong Kah Primary organised activities such as "Weekly Fruity Friday" and "Monthly Fruit and Vegetable Day". The whole-school approach serves to promote students’ awareness of what constitutes a healthy lifestyle.
