United in Play: Embodying Teamwork and School Spirit at SUSS’s First Interschool Games (ISG)

 Students and faculty from across SUSS schools coming together in the spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition at the inaugural Interschool Games (ISG) 2025.

On 10 May, SUSS hosted its inaugural Interschool Games (ISG), uniting 89 students and faculty members from six schools – the S R Nathan School of Human Development (NSHD), the School of Humanities and Behavioural Sciences (SHBS), the School of Law (SLAW), the School of Business (SBIZ), the School of Science and Technology (SST), and the SUSS Academy – for a vibrant day filled with friendly competition, collaboration, and school spirit.

Jumping into action! SST and NSHD go head-to-head in a fierce Captain’s Ball battle.

Watch SBIZ show off their ‘pull’-itical power in the tug of war!

Students and faculty came together to participate in two thrilling games –Captain’s Ball and Tug of War – as part of the Interschool Games. The competition was intense, with each team showcasing their competitive spirit, determination, and eagerness to bring home the championship trophy for their school. Congratulations to the School of Business (SBIZ) for emerging as champions in Captain’s Ball, and to the School of Law (SLAW) for clinching the victory in Tug of War!

Gabriel Loh Chee Hong from NSHD participated in both Captain’s Ball and Tug of War at ISG 2025. For him, it was a refreshing chance to connect with students beyond academics. “It was nice to talk and play with others without mentioning GBAs,” he shared. A three-time cancer survivor, Gabriel appreciated the inclusive and light-hearted atmosphere, adding, “Even though I might not be as physically fit, it was great to be part of it.”

Ms Christina Lau, a national Para Table Tennis athlete, dropped by ISG to join in the fun!

We were honoured to have Singapore’s national Para Table Tennis athletes join us at ISG 2025. In addition to competing in Captain’s Ball and Tug of War, participants had the unique opportunity to engage and experience playing alongside these inspiring athletes in a game of Para Table Tennis. National Ultimate Frisbee athlete and Year 3 Marketing student, Ms. Christina Seow, shared how events like ISG create meaningful spaces where people with and without disabilities can come together through shared experiences – playing the same game with the same spirit.

“Persons with disabilities can also excel,” she said proudly.

Her words remind us that sports are for everyone, and we hope to continue championing inclusive sporting opportunities for all!

Congratulations to the School of Business (SBIZ) for clinching the inaugural ISG 2025 Championship Trophy! A big thank you to everyone who contributed to making the first ISG a success – we look forward to seeing you all again at ISG 2026!

ISG serves as a valuable platform for SUSS to connect students, faculty, and staff, fostering school spirit and promoting the Olympic values of friendship, respect, and excellence. We also aim to feature more para sports in future events and continue growing inclusive sports within the SUSS community. Thank you to all who participated. We look forward to seeing you at ISG 2026!
