Are you all set, Dameans!? Brace yourselves as we will be celebrating one of the most anticipated events of the year!

𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗔 2024 | In Filipino, the word "hiraya" means "imagination" or "dream". It refers to the ability to create or envision things in one's mind, often relating to aspirations, hopes, or desires.

"Hiraya" is often associated with a positive sense of creativity and the power of the mind to dream beyond what is currently known or experienced. It can also be interpreted as the act of imagining and visualizing a better future or a different reality.

The Notre Dame of Kabacan, Inc. celebrates its Intramurals each year, also known as HIRAYA. This annual event which highlights sportsmanship, teamwork, and friendship, promises to be bigger and better than ever is happening on the 2nd - 5th day of October.

With a wide array of sports and activities, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

This year's Hiraya is guided with the theme "Empowering Dameans through Strengthening Character Formation, Teamwork, and Excellence."

The Hiraya offers a unique opportunity for students to step away from their academic routines, engage in friendly competition, and strengthen bonds with the school community.

As the teams gear up and the countdown begins, the school is buzzing with anticipation for a week full of energy, enthusiasm, and unforgettable moments.

So, here's the sneak peek of each team in preparation for the NDKI Hiraya 2024.
