Netball, volleyball, football and touch rugby were among the sports played at Logan Park, as well as a tug-of-war which was a new event added in the last few years.
Cultural and musical performances are also on offer for the first time.
Unipol intercollege competition co-ordinator Daniel Wards said the day was not about being competitive, but having a good time playing in a team.
‘‘No points are taken today, no scores are kept. So it just about coming down, having fun, giving it a go and experiencing what first year is all about.’’
‘‘This is a real good taster and then it picks up from here on in.
The School of Physiotherapy was on hand offering fitness testing to first-years.
Unipol assistant manager Rebecca Kurtovich said sports day was a chance for college students to meet and connect with their new community.
