Tenby Schools Setia Eco Park is proud to announce it will host the first ISP SEA Student Games 2026 this June, welcoming students from the ISP Asia-based schools for three days of sport, connection, and community in Kuala Lumpur. Featuring basketball, football, badminton and volleyball, the Games offer students a meaningful opportunity to put ISP’s Life Competencies into practice — competing with purpose, leading with confidence, and connecting across cultures.
More Than a Sporting Event
Hosted by Tenby Schools
Setia Eco Park and delivered in partnership with TEEMS Global and ISP Malaysia,
the Games have been designed to bring ISP’s Five Learning Pillars to life
beyond the classroom. Underpinned by ISP’s Learning.First.™ framework — a
personalised, student-centred approach that develops both academic excellence
and essential life skills — the Games are a living example of what it means to
put learning first. Across every match, every team huddle and every shared
meal, students will be putting metacognition into practice: reflecting on
what’s working, adapting their approach, and growing in confidence with every
step.
The programme directly
builds ISP’s Big 5 Life Competencies:

•
Interpersonal
skills: students build
positive relationships, communicate effectively and work as part of a team to
achieve shared goals.
•
Self-leadership: competing at an inter-school level
calls on students to manage emotions, demonstrate resilience and motivate
themselves and others under pressure.
•
Global
skills: connecting with
peers from across SEA fosters intercultural understanding and the respectful
curiosity that defines an ISP learner.
•
Cognitive
skills: reading the game,
adapting tactics, and solving problems in real time sharpens critical thinking
and creativity.
•
Digital
skills: students and staff
will use digital tools to collaborate, document and share the story of the
Games across the ISP network.
A Platform for International
Opportunities
The inaugural Games sit
firmly within ISP’s International Opportunities learning pillar, which gives
students the chance to represent their school, engage with peers from other
cultures and grow as global citizens. Alongside the ISP Model United Nations,
ISP Cultural Exchange and other flagship programmes, the Student Games are a
further expression of ISP’s commitment to learning that extends well beyond the
classroom.
Students will participate in football badminton, basketball and
volleyball in a programme that balances competitive sport with
social interaction, community-building, and the genuine joy of representing
their school.
“The ISP SEA Student Games are far more
than a sporting competition. They are a chance for our students to demonstrate
curiosity, confidence, and care for others — to lead themselves, work with
those around them and connect with the wider world. That is exactly what an ISP
education is designed to make possible.”
