Yale-NUS College Athletics

You may have noticed a peculiar set up in the Yale-NUS College library recently; that’s our “Body ___” exhibition curated in collaboration with the Body-Ody Collective! It’s arranged in a circular manner with curtains bordering it to allow each person to engage more deeply with the material and because we talk about sensitive content such as: eating disorders, body image issues, ableism, privilege and race. Please exercise your own discretion when visiting the exhibition!

On your way out of the exhibit, feel free to use the chalk provided to write your reflections on the black flats. If you would like to leave us feedback, there are post-its and pens provided too! We hope you enjoy the exhibit, and more importantly, we hope we’ve helped to start a conversation about body in our campus.

Hi Everyone, the Fitness Centre will be closed with immediate effect. We will provide an update as soon as re-opening time is confirmed.

Remember last semester’s exciting Inter-RC Squat Challenge 2.0+?

Here are the standings after last semester's Inter-RC Games:

1. Saga and Cendana
3. Elm

But it's not over until the end of the academic year. Challenge these rankings with our exciting line-up of Inter-RC Games this semester. From Trivia Nights to challenges to test your flexibility, stay tuned for more!

Participate in these activities before the final standings are revealed at the end of the academic year.

Keep your eyes peeled to stand a chance at winning points for your RC! You might just pick up a goodie for yourself too.

It's the holidays but our community spirit stays strong!

Earlier this month, Yale-NUS Athletics and Recreation organised a Dragon Boating activity for our Kingfishers. Open to all students and staff at the college, we teamed up in groups of 4 for a fun-filled morning at Kallang Basin.

Check out snippets of the event here!

Yale-NUS Athletics and Recreation wishes Singapore and everyone a Happy National Day!

2020 may been a wild roller coaster ride for many, multitudinous events have reminded our community to reflect, be kind and appreciative of one another. As we celebrate Singapore’s 55th anniversary of independence, we also celebrate gratitude, togetherness, and the friendships we have forged in these unprecedented times. We would also like to thank our dedicated healthcare workers for working tirelessly to keep us safe.

“If everyone plays a small part in the betterment of the lives of those around us, the world will eventually become a better place.”

Together, A Stronger Singapore!

Happy Singapore Nurses' Day!

Overcoming a crisis requires a team effort, and we'd like to honour our dedicated healthcare workers battling the frontlines to keep us safe from the pandemic.

Thank you for working tirelessly day and night to protect Singaporeans and care for the infected.

As we gear up for the upcoming semester, our Athletics and Recreation department have implemented several safety measures to ensure safe play.

Let's do our part to keep Singapore safe!
