Ammir’s RP EAE Story!

SSH freshman, Ammir Rayyan from Seng Kang Secondary School (@sengkangsecondary_official), received strong recommendations from his PE teachers to enrol in RP's Diploma in Sports & Health (@rp_dsh). The plus point for him was that DSH students were given time to gain a broad overview 👀 before choosing a major in Sports Management ⚽ or Health Coaching 🍎 .

Ammir shared, "My interest in health coaching peaked 📈when I started volunteering in 'ActiveSG’s SG60' programme. I worked closely with elderly participants 👴🏽👵🏽 guiding them through modified activities such as seated volleyball 🏐 and seated badminton 🏸 to keep them active"

 Ammir hopes that the skills and knowledge he gains from his diploma will equip him to meaningfully impact the lives of the elderly! 

 Know your passion ❤️‍🔥 and want a head start like Ammir? Apply to RP SSH via EAE and secure your spot early! Find out more at https://www.rp.edu.sg/eae.

... Read moreWhen I first considered pursuing a diploma in Sports & Health, what really stood out to me was the opportunity to explore different areas before settling on a specialization. Ammir’s story mirrors what many fresh students experience—having a broad overview helps you make an informed decision. The fact that RP’s program offers majors in Sports Management and Health Coaching means you can tailor your education to your passion and career goals. Volunteering with programmes like ActiveSG’s SG60 really highlights the practical impact you can have, especially working closely with the elderly. Activities such as seated volleyball and badminton are great examples of adaptive sports that keep seniors engaged and healthy. In my own experience volunteering with elderly fitness initiatives, I found that these tailored activities not only improve physical health but also social wellbeing, which is just as important. If you’re considering applying through RP’s Early Admissions Exercise (EAE), it’s helpful to know the dates—11 to 17 June 2026 for ITE graduates, and 25 June to 1 July 2026 for O-Level grads. Starting early can give you a clearer pathway into your desired diploma. Ultimately, Ammir’s enthusiasm for health coaching and desire to impact lives demonstrates how education combined with hands-on experience can shape meaningful careers. If you’re passionate about sports, health, or community service, RP’s Diploma in Sports & Health could be a great fit to start your journey and make a difference in others’ lives.
