SINGAPORE — Two decades after it first opened its doors, the Singapore Sports School will move its campus from Woodlands to Kallang as part of the Kallang Alive Masterplan.
Speaking in his National Day Rally speech on Sunday (Aug 18), Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said this will allow student athletes to study and train together with senior athletes.The school was officially opened in April 2004, and notable alumnus include badminton player Loh Kean Yew and sprint queen Shanti Pereira.
Calling Kallang the new “home” for Team Singapore, he also revealed plans for new sports science and sports medicine facilities, and for national training centres for several “key sports” to be integrated at Kallang and to site them under one roof for "better synergies".
Elaborating on the announcement earlier this year that the Singapore Indoor Stadium will be replaced by a new arena, Mr Wong revealed that this facility will have a bigger capacity of 18,000.
