The Eleventh Grade Valiant Knights took a tour of Batangas City for their R.I.C.H. activity last Monday, September 25. The Senior High School students joined the Provincial Government Officials in their general morning assembly. The students were able to observe the commitment of the Government Officials in participating in such routine activity very early in the morning. Afterwards, they got the chance to meet the Governor of the Batangas Province in the person of Hon. Hermilando “Dodo” Mandanas. Moreover, the students were assisted to the Office of the Vice Governor where they were oriented on the branches of the Philippine Government and the system of governance. It was also a one of a kind experience that the students had when they were given an opportunity to interview the Board Members of the Batangas Province and to watch them conduct a Plenary The Senior High School Students and their mentors pose with Vice Governor Nash Ona (center) during their visit at the Batangas Provincial Capitol. Session. This kind of opportunity gave the students a lot of insights about the procedures observed in Parliament. After the meaningful visit in the Batangas Provincial Capitol, the students made their way to a local radio station for some music and spirit boost. They met DJ Reynats of 99.1 Spirit FM who taught them how to record and edit radio commercials. The students had a first hand experience of recording radio commercials as they were given the chance to integrate what they learned in Oral Communication. They recorded a sample script and created a sample advertisement. DJ Reynats commended Aitana De Chavez for being a natural in recording because she seemed relaxed and confident while on the job. In addition to that, the Eleventh Graders were also welcomed by a local news anchor of Radio Totoo. He taught the students the essentials in Journalism- collecting information, making reliable news, and reporting news with conviction. The Eleventh Grade Valiant Knights conduct an interview with Board Member Arthur Blanco at the Plenary Session Hall, last September 25.

Career exploration is part of the school’s
commitment to equip the students with skills and
knowledge that will prepare them for the
university and the world of work.
The Junior High School and Senior High
school students attended the Career Exploration
Seminar last Saturday, September 23, 2017 at the
SSIS Main Hall.
The seminar aims to give the students
more options when choosing a career to pursue
or a course to enroll in college. Being able to
interact with successful people in different fields
informed the students of the skills they need to
possess, the preparations they need to make,
and the amount of effort that they need to exert
to excel in their chosen career or course.
Three speakers who are experts in the
fields of Accountancy, Business, and
Management (ABM), General Academic Strand
(GAS), and Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics (STEM) were invited to highlight
their experiences and expertise in different fields.
Mr. Raul Cunanan, a parent of one of our
Valiant Knights, talked about the ABM strand. He
also shared some tips on how to be an effective
businessman/ businesswoman in the future. The
experiences that he shared to the students are
supported by his reliable track record of being
into the trading industry, being the owner and
General Manager of Filra Trading and General
Services, and being the director of F1
Technomatrix Corporation.
On the otherhand, Dr. Normando
Napeñas, a Psychiatrist in Batangas City and a
professional with 41 year experience in the field of
medicine, emphasized the importance and benefits
of taking the STEM strand. He talked about the
growing need of the country for professionals in the
field of STEM. Thus, he gave importance to the
different careers that the students can choose from
in the said strand.
In addition to these experts is Mr. Nestor
Robles Jr. who is a graduate of Psychology in De La
Salle Lipa. He represented the General Academic
Strand (GAS) and gave the students insights on the
beauty of the field of education. Mr. Robles, at
present, is an instructor of Philosophy, Christian
Living, and Psychology at the De La Salle Lipa.
The Junior and Senior High School students
need guidance in choosing the path that they need
to travel when they leave the comforts of the school
and their homes. Thus, rubbing their shoulders with
successful figures will help them grasp the meat of
what a person actually does in his or her chosen
profession.
All ears! Mr. Raul Cunanan emphasizes to the students during the Career Exploration Seminar last September 23, 2017 that they could achieve more if they will dream big.

OF THE WEEK
Gratitude is one of the trickiest concepts to the students, but is
one of the most important. Sure, thankful children are more polite and
pleasant to be around, but there's more to it than that. By learning
gratitude, they become sensitive to the feelings of others, developing
empathy and other life skills along the way, says Barbara Lewis, author of
What Do You Stand For? (Free Spirit Publishing, 2005). Grateful students
look outside their one-person universe and understand that their parents
and other people do things for them.
Indeed, instilling grateful feelings now will benefit your child later
in life. A 2003 study at the University of California at Davis showed that
grateful people report higher levels of happiness and optimism -- along
with lower levels of depression and stress.
A very good way to teach and show appreciation to your
children is the timely celebration of the World Teachers’ Day. A teacher
isn’t just an instructor. He or she is a mentor, a guide, a counselor, a
protector and a large part of the community the students need to grow
up grandly. This October 5, help your children show appreciation to their
teacher without breaking the bank.
The following are the simple, yet the most memorable ways on
how the children can show their appreciation to their teachers:
1. Encourage them to write a letter to their teachers.
Let them tell their teachers how much they have meant to them
this year. Include what their favorite memory of the class was or
something the teachers did to help them become better people.
2. Make a simple video for the teachers.
Are your children more of visual learners/ students? Most smart
phones have nice video cameras and there are a lot of easy editing
softwares. Encourage your child to write, direct and star in his or her own
movie depicting a favorite lesson or funny moment in class. Your child
can also invite his or her friends to play themselves in the movie. Or just let
them sit down, hit record and film themselves telling their teacher why
they mean so much to them.
Whatever it is that your child will do to express their gratitude to
their teachers, nothing will come close to the love and care that they
have for them. Together, let us instill to the students’ minds and hearts the
