The school brought together its student-leaders, officers, and achievers at its Pinnacle awarding ceremony on March 27, at the Central Hall.

The ceremony underscored the importance of leadership, responsibility, and service among student leaders.

The program began with a praise and worship session led by the praise team, followed by an opening prayer by Zam Ma-ao, and an opening remark delivered by the School Activity Head Ms. Kristine Cruzado, setting a positive and uplifting atmosphere.

School Principal Ms. Cynthia C. Genon then encouraged students to continue striving for excellence in her inspirational message.

The awarding of certificates of appreciation highlighted the event, recognizing classroom officers from Grades 1 to 12.

It also recognized the Supreme Pupil Government (SPG), Supreme Student Government (SSG), and Supreme Student Council (SSC), the Ignite Editorial Board, and varsity team captains.

Selected officers from the organizations shared their testimonials, expressing their experiences, challenges, and growth throughout their leadership journey.

The oath of commitment of the incoming student government officers, led by Abby Cristobal, SSC President, marked the official transition of leadership.

This was followed by the document turnover, key exchange, and pinning of officers for SPG, SSG, and SSC.

“Confidence in leadership is difficult to teach, but Pinnacle was able to develop it indirectly. It allowed officers to feel that their efforts were real and significant, and that experience of being genuinely valued creates a lasting impact on them,” Zael Tan, Head of Supreme Government.

“The leadership values promoted—stewardship, mentorship, and volunteerism—are not only school values but also life values that student officers carry with them as they step into their future roles in their careers, communities, and families,” he added

Mr. Zael Tan then gave the moderators’ charge, reminding officers of their responsibilities and roles as leaders.

A fellowship activity followed, allowing participants to celebrate, connect, and enjoy the rest of the afternoon together.
