Actualising Sportsmanship Through Volleyball Programme
Our Background
The DSA-Sec Exercise was first introduced in 2004 as part of MOE’s move towards a more flexible and broad-based education system. Under the DSA-Sec Exercise, participating secondary schools will be able to select a percentage of their students for admission outside of the centralised posting system, via their own selection criteria. These criteria can include diverse academic and non-academic achievements and talents.
With the tweak in the DSA-Sec-Exercise for 2018 whereby all schools can offer up to 20% of the Secondary One places to students, Unity Secondary School, with the years of experience, is well-equipped with the expertise to maximise the potential of this larger pool of talent.
Our School Vision
Our vision is to nurture students to Lifelong Learners, Inspiring Leaders. We believe that sports provide a platform to equip our students with the values of Respect, Compassion, Commitment, Integrity and Perseverance to develop the child leadership qualities.

The table below summarises the teams achievements which affirms the effective structures and processes that we have put in place within the programme despite our school’s short history.
With the introduction of the DSA for our school Volleyball, we will like to propel our school volleyball team to the next level and continue to excel in the National Schools Games. With the vision to develop our students into Lifelong Learners, Inspiring Leaders, our school promise to provide a conducive environment for our volleyball players to develop character and to achieve excellence.
Our Programme
Unity Secondary School has a comprehensive development programme to develop students with zero background in volleyball to one of the powerhouses in the zone. With sound development strategy in place, we want to groom our incoming volleyball talents into outstanding players. Besides building the essential skills and knowledge, the programme is structured to provide players with a range of experiences that go beyond just playing of the game. These include
- Umpiring matches
- Organising intra- and inter-school tournaments
- Coaching junior players
- Mental Strength Training
- Overseas Training Tours
We have a team of passionate, committed and experienced teachers and coach who oversee the physical, social and emotional well-being as well as the academic progress of the players.
