St. Patrick's High School

Colour clash

It has been a tradition at St. Pat's to give a full day to the students and the staff members to feel and build that strong sense of community.  The “Colour Clash” day is by far one of the best memories from our alumni students. 

On that day, the whole school is divided into teams that are identified with specific colors. To create that sense of belonging, each member of each teams needs to wear their colour as much as possible. From secondary 1 to 4, the students can sign up for the different activities and earn points for their team. For our oldest students, not only they have to compete, but they also need to lead their respective team by example by acting as captains. 

In the end, regardless of your age, all needs to get involve getting that champion title that is passed on year after year. Here are some examples of what it takes to make it to the top of the leaderboard.

Slip and Slide Relay
All 5 participants of each team will be lined up behind the starting line. At the whistle, the first participant must complete 5 turns with a hula hoop, run up the hill and slide down the tarp. After the slide, the participant must flip the cup before running back to the beginning and clap his partner’s hand.

Spike ball
To score a point you must make the ball bounce onto the floor after hitting the net. All rounds start off by a serve from the team who scored the previous point. The first team to 11 points gets the win, you must “win by two” if both teams are at 10.
