Dear ISY Community,

ISY Students Shine at SEASAC Events: Swim Team in Bangkok & MUN Team in Singapore!

We are incredibly proud to highlight the achievements of our students who are currently representing ISY at two prestigious SEASAC events this week.

SEASAC Swim Team in Bangkok

Our SEASAC Swim Team is currently competing in the SEASAC Swim Competition at NIST in Bangkok! The team has been training hard all year, and we’re excited to see them put their skills to the test in this highly competitive event. We wish them the best of luck as they race towards personal bests, great teamwork, and of course, bringing pride to ISY!

SEASAC MUN Team in Singapore

At the same time, our SEASAC MUN Team is participating in the SEASAC Model United Nations (MUN) Conference at UWC East in Singapore. Our students have been working tirelessly to prepare for the conference, where they’ll represent ISY in various committees, debating global issues, and negotiating solutions. We’re confident they’ll continue to demonstrate leadership, critical thinking, and diplomacy as they engage with students from other international schools.

ISY vs. YISL Women’s Team: Friendly Game Recap

The ISY Women’s Team faced off in a friendly game against YISL, marking their first opportunity to compete as a team. While the result was secondary, the girls displayed great effort and learned valuable lessons throughout the game.

There were several excellent plays, with the team showcasing a solid understanding of the game. Penny had an outstanding moment, hitting a home run that energized the team.

Although the game was filled with learning experiences, the girls demonstrated resilience and teamwork as they continued to build on their skills. It was a fantastic first showing—well done, everyone! We look forward to watching your progress as the season continues!

ISY vs. Tigers: Softball Game Recap

In a tough matchup against the first-place Tigers, the ISY boys’ softball team faced a challenging game. As a team, we didn’t hit as well as we have in previous weeks, and we made a few errors in the field. Despite the setbacks, our boys didn’t give up. In the final inning, our bats came alive, and we scored 6 runs, which made the Tigers a little nervous!

Although the Tigers ultimately took the win, ISY showed great resilience and determination. It’s always valuable to learn from these tough matches, and we can be proud of how the team fought until the very end. Keep up the hard work, boys—there’s always more to improve on, and we’re heading in the right direction!
