Example of Past Initiatives

• Fitness Fiesta 2022: A collaboration between SUSS OWLs and various CGs, the event encouraged fitness in a fun and engaging manner through the various activity stations. The aim was to promote physical and mental well-being through engaging in sports/physical activities, impart important values that students can gain through sports/physical activity, and served as an avenue for students to relieve stress before the upcoming exam period.
• SUSS Mascot Challenge 2017/2018: A student-initiated project that was conceptualised to bring together the SUSS Full-time students in spirit and identity. The aim was to have a SUSS mascot that will reflect the core values of SUSS as well as the 3Hs.
• Project Collegiate: Created in 2015 in a bid to improve the identity and cohesiveness of the school. The student group aspired to leave a legacy for their very young college, and create a symbol that then-UniSIM College students could identify with. A T-Shirt Design competition was launched, with prizes for the best designs, before UC shirts were then printed and sold to any interested students.
