Kalba students have a free activity to add to the week ahead. The Schools & Universities Challenge runs from 9 to 12 November 2026 as part of Kalba Sports Festival, opposite Kalba Mall.

The programme combines knowledge, sport, creativity and teamwork. For families, that means several ways for a child to get involved, with parents joining some of the challenges.

Who can take part?

The official challenge page lists students from Kalba’s government and private schools and universities. There is no entry fee.

Each student registers once and gets their own account. The registration form asks for student and school details, a parent or guardian’s contact information and consent. It includes options for a student taking part alone or with family.

The daily deadline to keep in mind

New challenges are posted at 4 pm. Entries close at 9 pm, and daily results are announced at 10 pm. The final day is Thursday, 12 November.

Photo and video entries must be the student’s own work. Check the day’s tasks early enough to leave time to prepare and submit before the evening deadline.

Planning a family visit

The wider festival continues until 14 November. Its visitor information confirms a free digital QR pass for entry, while individual sports have their own registration conditions and fees.

Families can arrange a visitor pass and check the daily programme before heading over. Choose the date you plan to visit to see the activities scheduled for that day.
