LICEO MEET 2021

Liceo, as an institution, acknowledges that the increase of their student’s sportsmanship is essential for their growth as individuals, as well as their socializing skills. But how does one get to engage in these activities? Liceo provides an annual activity in which students are given the chance to take part in activities that may instill camaraderie and discipline, while enjoying their chosen activity. Liceo’s annual intramural activities encourage healthy competition among participants, in which Liceans are given the chance to showcase their talents in a way that can inspire other students as well. Students may find intramurals as a way to escape from their schedules, it provides a healthy pastime for the whole community to enjoy and indulge themselves in. Whether as a participant or a watcher, one can definitely feel the thrill of cheering on their favorite teams or participating in healthy competitions with other Liceans.

This year’s Liceo Meet was themed, “Beyond Adversity”. The intramurals were started with a prayer that was led by the campus ministry, followed by the singing of the National Anthem and the school’s hymn. As the program follows, exciting activities were performed and shown. The program was hosted by chosen Liceans who did a very good job on carrying out the program. The hosts then introduced the intermission numbers by the Grade school Department, Junior Highschool Department, and the Senior High School – Arts and Design Department.
