Trivia Night Success: From Derry Girls to Daisy Jones & the Six!

Last Friday night’s Trivia Night was an absolute blast! The evening was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and much fun. One of the night's many highlights was the team, Derry Girls, who showed off their trivia skills and fully embraced the event's spirit by dressing up as Stella Girls. Honestly, the effort that went into dressing the tables and the costumes was outstanding, and it brought energy to the room and certainly a few laughs!

Teams battled it out across various rounds, with everyone showcasing their impressive trivia knowledge. In the end, the team Daisy Jones & The Six emerged victorious, claiming the top spot and bragging rights for the evening.

But the event wasn’t just about winning but coming together as a Stella Community. We’re thrilled to announce that we raised over $5,000! These funds will subsidise the welcome back to school event, the much-anticipated Stella Sunset Social and the first Year 7 Mixer. Your generosity will help ensure these events are accessible and memorable for everyone involved.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and made the night so special. Whether you answered questions, cheered on your team, or soaked in the good vibes, you made Trivia Night a success. A huge thanks to the P&F team and Sue Homann from Stella for making it such a great night!
