In a momentous event that combines school spirit, athleticism, and a century-long legacy, the Grade School Department of St. Scholastica’s Academy Pampanga held its Centennial Intramurals from October 16-18, 2024. This year’s theme, “100 Years of Love and Service: United in Faith, Strengthened in Sports,” resonates deeply with the values that have been instilled in Scholasticans over the past century. The event invites students, faculty, and alumni alike to come together, not only to compete but to celebrate a shared commitment to teamwork, resilience, and the Benedictine spirit.
The Centennial Intramurals serve as an opportunity for young Scholasticans to showcase their skills in various sports and games, embodying the spirit of healthy competition. These activities are a celebration of unity, drawing students closer as they engage in friendly rivalry while learning valuable life skills like discipline, cooperation, and perseverance. Each event underscores the importance of balancing academic excellence with physical fitness and personal growth, principles that lie at the heart of a Scholastican education.
Sports have long been a vital part of the Scholastican experience, teaching students the values of camaraderie, respect, and mutual support. As participants compete in various games—ranging from basketball and volleyball to track and field—they do so with a shared mission: to honor the legacy of their school by giving their best, upholding the spirit of fair play, and fostering friendships that last a lifetime.
Beyond the physical challenges, the Centennial Intramurals is also a reflection of St. Scholastica’s Academy’s dedication to holistic education. This event is a vivid reminder that excellence is not confined to the classroom; it extends to every aspect of life, including sports, arts, and personal growth. The theme, “United in Faith, Strengthened in Sports,” highlights the school’s commitment to nurturing individuals who are not only academically competent but also morally grounded, spiritually enriched, and physically empowered.
This year’s Intramurals holds special significance, as it coincides with SSA’s 100th anniversary—a milestone that serves as both a celebration of the past and a beacon for the future. For alumni, faculty, and current students, this is a time to reflect on the institution’s enduring legacy and the values that have guided generations of Scholasticans. The Centennial Intramurals embodies this legacy, reminding all participants and supporters of the school’s unwavering dedication to producing well-rounded individuals who lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and inspire with courage.
