25.01.2022 Last Tuesday saw the end of the intercollege basketball competition for 2020.

23.01.2022 Rugby is a sport that has been in the blood of Christ since 1847, yesterday due to a few unfortunate injuries in the days leading up to Rugby we had to forfeit the Boys games. But, luckily our Girls still had the numbers to play and every single one of them went out their and gave it everything they had and kept the spirit of Christ rugby alive. Unfortunately the Girls were unable to pick up the win, but more importantly we are proud of everyone who stepped up to represent Christ. So thank you. Also congratulations go out to @johnfisher_college. #themightyblackpigs #oinkoink @ UTas Rugby Oval

22.01.2022 Over the last few months two fierce Christ College rugby teams have been training hard and playing harder. It all came to a head the Sunday before last, with both mens and womens teams giving @_janefranklinhall_ some fierce competition in the finals, and delivering some incredibly good games. While both games were tight, full of brutal tackles and masterful plays, neither team managed to secure the win at the end of the day. Regardless, everyone made memories and gave it their all, and we’re unbelievably proud of absolutely everyone who stepped-up to represent Christ in another great year of rugby!

19.01.2022 About 4 weeks ago Christ College brought back donations from our lovely residents as apart of Red25 at the Red Cross. We have had 5 people on average every week for 3 weeks go down and donate at the Red Cross to supply blood for all those in need of it. I would hope that this post and our own tally inspires you to donate blood even if its only one time or continually. ... You will save lives.

17.01.2022 Clean Up Australia Day is an event that doesnt get as much publicity as it used, but this event is more crucial now than it has ever been. Cleaning up the planet in general everyday is the most important message of this event. The rubbish you find on this day should make you properly throw away your trash today. #blackpigs #ecopigs #cleanupaustraliaday2019 #cleanupaustralia #cleanupaustraliaday

17.01.2022 Last Thursday and the Thursday before that our Christ bois secured their spot in the BBall finals and put on an unrivalled performance that got us the win.

A thank you also goes to @johnfisher_college and @_janefranklinhall_ for the games. #blackpigs @ Hobart, Tasmania

But seriously, both our Boys and Girls put in their best effort to try and score a semi victory in both Softball and Cricket. And we couldnt be more proud of them. Thanks also go out to John Fisher College for the great couple of games. ... #blackpigs See more

14.01.2022 Semester 2 at Christ kicked off last week with Re-O-Week and weve had a fantastic time seeing in the new semester with the return of physical events. From barbecues, stargazing and our Annual Budget Meeting to the incomparable 13-Hour Extravaganza its been a wonderful start to the semester for our black pigs! @ Christ College

14.01.2022 Christ College is joining the Australian Red Cross Blood Services group donation program to help achieve 25 per cent of the countrys blood donations. There arent many jobs where you can save three lives by spending an hour relaxing and receive free food at the end. For many people, donating blood is both easier and more rewarding than theyd imagined, and its even better when you do it with your fellow piggies. One in three people will need a blood donation during their... lives, and it might surprise you to know that only 2 per cent of donated blood goes to trauma or car accident victims. Around one third of donations help people with cancer and the rest go towards treating serious medical issues ranging from pregnancy complications to immune conditions and heart disease. Thats why Christ College has joined Red25. Red25s ambitious goal is to unite organisation across Australia to donate 25 per cent of the 1 million-plus blood donations needed every year. And with 25,000 donations needed every single week, Christ College is encouraging all staff to get on board. Once youre a member of Red25, any donation you make is added to your groups tally. Anyone can view the tally at donateblood.com.au/red25, meaning you can easily compare our groups tally to others part of Red25. Because even though we know its about saving lives, whats life without a little healthy competition? *cough wanna beat Fisher and Jane? cough* For Christ College, Red25 is a chance to stand out by making a donation more powerful than money. For you, its a chance to feel amazing for saving lives through a simple act thats both free and fulfilling. To get involved, go to donateblood.com.au/red25 and join the University of Tasmania Christ College group.

04.01.2022 This year we are once again participating in the Worlds Greatest Shave Fundraiser for awareness and funding of research into Leukaemia (blood cancer). Each year we aim to donate as much as we can to help all those affected by this disease.

Thank you. https://secure.leukaemiafoundation.org.au//TeamFundraising

04.01.2022 The action just kept coming last week, with basketball quickly followed up by intercollege netball finals on Thursday. Spectators clung to the edge of their seats through two tense games as our teams gave the opposition a run for their money. While our girls played incredibly but just missed out on the win, Christ’s best men’s netball team in years earned a stunning victory that will surely be well-remembered!

02.01.2022 Every year Christ College takes a team of people down to the Relay for Life event to raise funds for cancer, but to also be a beacon of hope on the field. When brought in, Christ has won the Spirit of the Relay in 2017 for best embodying hope. We try not to just beat our lap total every year, but we try, we also stand at the edge of the track and cheer on and high five every runner coming by, because just like the fight against cancer no one is ever alone. Last year we did ...not pick up the award, and the wind also blew the gazebos away, but this year if you would like to help, or just aid in the fight against Cancer donate and join Christ Colleges Relay for Life team for 2019. Further information on how to join for residents in our Facebook group. #hope #relayforlife #relayforlife2019 #jointoday #blackpigs
