Beyond skill-building, club members and varsity members also enjoy perks such as nominations for special awards and academic deadline extensions during performance practices, giving students both recognition and support as they balance their commitments.

“Joining a club will help me improve my skills, make new friends, and become more confident. It’ll also help me learn new things and be more involved in school activities,” shared Samantha Lourraine Luena, Grade 7.

Ignite, the school’s publication, also offers free workshops for Ignite Jr. and Ignite staffers.

Grade school trainings will be held every Friday from 1:45 p.m to 3:00 p.m., starting on July 17, while the high school trainings and workshops will be held every Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
