We’re thrilled to celebrate the remarkable success of our curling team at the Seoul Mayor’s Cup Curling Championship. 

In preparation for the competition, the team gathered once a week with their coach to practice through mini games and rule training. Despite the limited preparation time—having only three practices before the tournament—the team remained focused and made the most of every session. They even arranged an extra practice at school using a floor-curling set to strengthen their skills.

One of the greatest challenges the team faced was communication. With members from different grades and age groups, they didn’t know each other well at first. However, as they continued practicing together, they gradually bonded, communicated better, and encouraged one another throughout the journey. Their growing teamwork became one of their strongest assets.

When asked about their “secret weapon” during the competition, they shared that staying calm under pressure made the biggest difference. Since curling requires precision and accuracy, maintaining a steady mindset helped them make better shots and adjust quickly in each round.

When the results were announced, they felt both relieved and proud. Despite the short preparation time, the team’s dedication, focus, and teamwork had clearly paid off.

SSI celebrates the hard work, perseverance, and sportsmanship shown by our curling team. Their achievement is a powerful reminder that with focus, teamwork, and a resilient spirit, students can accomplish extraordinary things. Congratulations to our amazing athletes!
