SUSS Skate Interest Group’s Embraced Sustainability with Eco-Friendly Games

The SUSS Skate Interest Group (IG) organised an exciting and engaging event at HiRoller Indoor Skating Rink - welcoming all full-time and part-time students to join the session. With a 65% increase in the number of participants this year, the event was gaining traction with many fresh faces gracing the rink.

A beginner-friendly skating session began in the evening, teaching participants the basics of skating and important safety precautions. Beyond teaching new skating skills, the event also emphasized eco-friendly practices minimised environmental impacts. For this session, the SUSS Skate Interest Group stood by reducing waste and promoted sustainability by incorporating recycled materials into various games and activities. For example, toilet rolls were repurposed as bowling pins, while plastic bottles were collected and transformed into ring toss targets. The initiative showed how unwanted and/or used materials could be creatively given a second life by transforming them props used for recreational activities. Not to mention, this strategy also benefitted the students as it reduced not only waste but also expenses.
