For the third year in a row, Notre Dame University- Shouf Campus hosted the Inter-School Sports Challenge which extended from Friday, April 21, 2017 till Saturday, May 6, 2017. Organized by the Student Affairs Office under the supervision of Father Dominique Nasr, the Challenge saw the participation of over 12 schools.
After almost two weeks of competitions, the winning teams received their awards on the concluding day as they were cheered by their school mates and supporters.

“Always challenge yourself,” Fr. Tayar said and “let us learn civic togetherness from healthy sports spirit,” as he proceeded to distribute the cups and medals to the winning teams.
