Sixty-eight (68) scholars from Anihan Technical School trooped to nearby Carmel Ridge Clubhouse for this year’s Anihan Sportsfest. Dubbed as, “Rise as One: Compete with Heart, Create with Passion,” the entire student body, with the Management, faculty, school & livelihood center staff convened at the covered court of the clubhouse for a whole day of sporting events which included a Cheerdance Competition, Team Chants, Badminton and the much-awaited Volleyball Competition.
