August Spirit Week 2025
The Student Foundation Program Student Committee has recently welcomed the August 2025 foundation intake students to Sunway College during their orientation. As the freshmen started their new chapter in their lives, the SFPSC kick-started their first event in the Sunway Foundation Programme – Spirit Week! On 8th to 12th September 2025, Fonzies are to wear different themed shirts each day to celebrate unity and diversity. This event was packed with various creative and eye-catching outfit combos.
Each day of the week was given a different theme to dress up in. These were the themes of each day throughout spirit week:
Monday (8/9) - Pajamas Day
Tuesday (9/9) - Old Money Day
Wednesday (10/9) - Pink Day
Thursday (11/9) - Favourite Character Day
Friday (22/9) - Childhood Throwback Day
On the first day of the event, students had to dress up in their pajamas, simple as that. This day was a lucky day for students running late for college, as they could come straight to class without changing. The SFP turned into one big comfy slumber party. Students dressed up with fluffy socks, oversized tees, and experienced a day fighting a constant battle of not dozing off in class.
The next day, students took a step back in time and dress up in the theme of old money. This day brought back the nostalgic formality straight off the runway. This theme reflects sophisticated elegance and the understated luxury associated with generational wealth. From timeless blazers to vintage oxfords, the old money theme never goes out of fashion. Many students dressed up in the main colours of white, brown, black, and beige that day, honouring the classics.
On the third day, pink was the word to go. Whether it was pastel sweet or bold and loud, students ruled the day with pink (just like the Mean Girls), some including unique spins to their dress-up. One of them even doubled down with the pink by having their stationery, water bottles, and other items pink; it’s just pink everywhere!
The following day was an exciting one, as it was favourite character day. Students stepped into the shoes of their favourite characters that inspired them, whether they come from anime, movies, games, and more. The highlights of this day were from Alvin and the Chipmunks to Snoopy the dog. One of the coolest character dress-ups was when someone dressed up as David Martinez from Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
The finale of Spirit Week ended with childhood throwback day. This day was filled with sentiment, as students dressed up in anything that reminded them of their childhood. It was interesting and memorable to witness the nostalgia of others and see what had shaped them in the past. From Minecraft to a previous Chinese school, the whole day was just a trip down memory lane.
Throughout the whole week, the creativity and fashion of the foundation students was a spectacular sight to see and witness. The students who participated in this event showcased great creativity in their fashion and took the chance to display their true selves via clothing. This introduction of our first event for the August foundation program students of 2025 was a great success in jump-starting the college life for them, turning what could've been a dull week into a brighter, memorable time.
