Anargiri” 2007 National Greek Orthodox Schools Competition One of our major events for May was hosting the 2007 National Greek Orthodox Schools Competition between Tuesday 1st May and Thursday 3rd May. We hosted over 300 students, staff and principals from five other Greek Orthodox Colleges around Australia: All Saints Grammar (NSW) St. Euphemia (NSW) St. Spyridon (NSW) St. George (S.A.) St. John’s (VIC) Although St. Andrews (W.A.) were unable to send any student representative teams, their principal made the trip to join the Principals’ Meeting that was scheduled during this event. The Opening Ceremony and Blessing were conducted on Tuesday morning by His Grace - Bishop Ezekiel, our Parish Priest and College Chaplain Archimandrite Father Iakovos Tsigounis, Father Chris from St. John’s, Fa- ther Konstantinos from St. George in S.A. and Deacon Manassis. Following this our young students who repre- sented each of the participating Colleges displayed exceptional talent in the Greek Public Speaking Competition, Basketball and Table Tennis. Tuesday evening saw all come together for the Championship Dinner where many old friendships were renewed and new ones formed. On Wednesday the students competed in soccer and Netball matches while Thursday, the sporting events ended with Volleyball and Indoor Soccer matches. The 2007 Na- tional Greek Orthodox Schools Competition concluded on Thursday afternoon, with the Closing Ceremony held in the Community Hall to celebrate individual and team success during the 3-day event. In attendance were all competitors, staff and Principals of participating schools. ǿǼȇǹ ǹȇȋǿǼȆǿȈȀȅȆǾ ǹȊȈȉȇǹȁǿǹȈ ÅëëçíéêÞǼȜȜȘȞȚțȒ Ïñèüäïîç ȅȡșȩįȠȟȘ Åíïñßá ȀȠȚȞȩĲȘĲĮ - Êïéíüôçò OakleighOakleigh êáé țĮȚÐåñé÷þñùí ȆİȡȚȤȫȡȦȞ ǿİȡȩȢ ȃĮȩȢǹȖȓȦȞ ǹȞĮȡȖȪȡȦȞ ȆĮȞȒȖȣȡȚȢ ȉȠ ȆȡȩȖȡĮμμĮ ĲȠȣ İȠȡĲĮıμȠȪ İȓȞĮȚ ĲȠ ĮțȩȜȠȣșȠ: ȈȐȕȕĮĲȠ 30 ǿȠȣȞȓȠȣ ʌĮȡĮμȠȞȒ ĲȘȢ İȠȡĲȒȢ: ȂȑȖĮȢ ʌĮȞȘȖȣȡȚțȩȢ İıʌİȡȚȞȩȢ μİĲȘıȣμμİĲȠȤȒ ĲȠȣ ǿİȡȠȪ ȀȜȒȡȠȣ ȂİȜȕȠȪȡȞȘȢ (7.00 μ.μ.)
