SPORTS DAY | More Than a Game: International Students Connect Through Badminton
28 Sep 2026
On 27th September, around 50 international students gathered at Badminton Courts for an afternoon of fun, fitness, and friendship at our International Students Badminton Get-Together. And what a wonderful turnout it was!
Let's be clear: this wasn't about trophies, rankings, or who had the fiercest smash. There were no brackets, no eliminations, and no pressure. Instead, the event was all about bringing international students together in a relaxed, welcoming environment — to make new friends, learn about one another's cultures, and break a sweat while doing it.
Students chatted, cheered each other on, and swapped stories about life far from home. For many, it was a chance to connect with fellow international students who understand the unique experience of studying abroad. For others, it was simply a great way to stay active and de-stress after a busy week of classes.
The energy on the courts was contagious — and it wasn't just about badminton. It was about building a community.
