Christmas arrived quietly through shared laughter and small celebrations in classrooms, before rising into song and light as the Senior High Department embraced the season on December 18, 2025.
The party opened with classroom-based activities—games, food sharing, and gift exchanges that reflected the joy of celebrating Christmas with classmates.
Beyond the classrooms, the Supreme Student Council (SSC) transformed the Central Hall into a stage for the Caroling Competition ‘25, themed “Where the Light Still Shines.”
SSC President Abby Cristobal shared that the celebration aimed to foster joy, gratitude, unity, and compassion among students, reflecting the theme, reminding everyone to choose collaboration, creativity, and appreciation even amid challenges.
Through the council’s coordination, sections presented creative interpretations of “Pasko sa Pinas” by Yeng Constantino, as students added skits, dances, choir-style harmonies, and sing-along renditions, portraying stories of romance and hardship where Christmas hope still endured.
Hosted by SSC Deputy Officer Joem Elija Domingo and SSC Communications Officer Jalile Estuesta, the out-of-class program energized the Central Hall with icebreaker games before and in between performances, where students won prizes such as snack packs and power banks.
Performances were evaluated by three distinguished judges with backgrounds in music, performing arts, and creative leadership— Sir Sam Soliven, Ms. Norlyn Ledesma, and Sir Sundae Burce.
The following sections were awarded:
- Best in Spirit of the Season: 11 Elyon
- Best Creative Integration: 11 Shammah
- 1st Place: Shalom
- 2nd Place: Shiloh
- 3rd Place: Elohim
- Teachers Day Poster Making Champion: 11 Shiloh
