Intramurals 2K19

           Every student is always looking forward to their Intramurals which is one of the best highlight of our high school days for it gives us time to be with our friends and bond with our classmates. Feelings of excitement and joy can be seen on their faces as the event came to start and the ball starts rolling. 

              Cheers and laughter can be heard as the activities prepared by the school started. Exciting booths were put up by the different clubs and organizations that brought joy to everyone in the school. The friendly games and competitions really helped in building the athletes’ teamwork and lifting their self confidence. Also, it was the perfect time to showcase their talents and skills and to give them recognition for representing our school on different sports competitions. 

        As a CAT officer, we helped in facilitating the peace and order of our school and assisted on the different games to be played. We encountered students that will surely give you a headache and we were placed under the raging heat of the sun. It was indeed tiring and stressful but overall, it was filled with fun and contentment because we had served the school once again.

It’s More Fun to Learn with HSM

           “What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning.”

-Chuck Grassley

           Some students doesn’t enjoy learning and the thought of going to school bothers them maybe because of an unwanted experience or they are scared for unknown reasons. School must be a place where children can learn and at the same time have fun and they should remember it as something they’ve enjoyed going to for many years. Luckily, the Happy Schools Movement was implemented.

           Students deserved to be loved and taken care with so that they could concentrate and live whatever lessons and teachings they had in school. Happy Schools Movement advocates to promote that every learning facilities in the country should be a better and enjoyable place to discover new things.

           According to an article that I have read, a positive school environment can help decrease absenteeism, suspensions and bullying. It can also increases the child’s educational achievement and they will also have a motivation to learn and improve their well-being. This movement that they have implemented can help learners fully say and express themselves and what they really want to tell. With the help of the teachers and school administrators, they could mold students like us into happy learners which is the main goal of this movement. 

           Learning is not just all about books and gaining knowledge, but it is also about having fun and creating happy memories.
