The event commenced with a Doxology Service and Blessing at St Spyridon Church, presided over by Archbishop Makarios of Australia.

Over three days, students will compete in Boys and Girls Futsal, Boys and Girls Volleyball, Boy Football, Girls Netball, Boys and Girls Basketball, and Boys and Girls Table Tennis.

A highlight of the event will be the Performing Arts Festival that will see each school present a song, dance, poem, presentation or play. The event will be followed by a dinner dance where students and teachers will come together in celebration.

The presentation and closing ceremony will take place on Friday, May 10 from 4pm before students return to their home states.
