St Clare's Catholic School wins 2023 Obe Geia Challenge
St Clare's Catholic School celebrated a hard fought victory over Marian Catholic School to lift this year's Obe Geia Challenge trophy. Eight mainland teams and a side from Magnetic Island joined two local schools on Palm Island for the one day rugby league carnival, enjoying a day of footy while experiencing the life and culture of Palm Island. The 2023 Obe Geia Challenge was made possible thanks to Navarre Minerals, SeaLink, Palm Island Aboriginal Shire Council and selectability. Obe Geia Challenge is a reconciliation initiative proudly supported by the Department of Seniors, Disability Services and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships through the Celebrating Reconciliation Small Grants Program.
