Nobody gets to pick their family. At MSSM, we pick it for you.
On Tuesday 10th November, 69 of you packed into Academy 2 at the Students’ Union to meet your new Ohana. Seniors became “parents”, juniors became “children”, and everyone finally found out who they’ll be spending the year with.
It got competitive fast. First up was the Manchester Riddle Quiz on Kahoot, and Ohana 12 took the win. Then came the Cup Tower Challenge, where each family had to build a pyramid of cups with nothing but a rubber band and some string. You stacked them so quickly that our gamemaster Jonny had to invent a harder arrangement on the spot just to pick the winners. Big props to Jonny for thinking on his feet.
Winning families got to tick a square off their bingo card, which matters more than it sounds. Ohana Berbingo runs all year, and the first three families to complete three rows share £250 worth of prizes. Two Best Parents awards are up for grabs too, so parents, no pressure.
Pizza and drinks kept everyone going while we tallied the points, and the night ended with a big round of family photos. See you on your bingo cards!
