SSC – R conducts 1st Academic Week: Gearing One’s Bailiwick
GO BASTE: Gearing One’s Bailiwick thru Academic Supported and Tacit Education is this year’s theme for the first Academic Week Celebration on November 21 – 25, 2011 at San Sebastian College – Recoletos Canlubang Campus. As it is inline with the institutional objective of preparing academically and technologically competent graduates with knowledge and skills that will empower them to face the challenges of time, the weeklong activity provides the students with fun-filled learning experiences beyond the four walls of the classroom. The program opened with the remarks by the College dean, Dr. Amado Magsino followed by the orientation by the Arts and Sciences Coordinator, Jan Michael de Asis.
Competitions were conducted in the different Gen Ed courses such as:
• Math and Science Quiz bee elimination – 9 participants from each cluster where the top three will represent their cluster in the finals.
• Spelling and Filipino Translation Quiz bee and History, Rizal and Religious Education Eliminations – All students who have 9:00 – 10:30 classes took a qualifying examination and the topnotcher will represent that class in the finals.
• Interpretative Dance – Students were asked to interpret Michael Jackson’s Man in the Mirror in order to test their Bodily – Kinaesthetic Intelligence.
• Artwork Painting Competition – Creative students were asked to express their talents through painting with the theme: “Sebastinian’s Commitment To Excel Towards a Better Future.”
• Song Making Competition – Student composers were challenged to create a song with a strong connection with this year’s academic week celebration.
The culminating day commences on November 25, 2011 with the Eucharistic Celebration by the school chaplain and newly appointed Coordinator for Student Welfare, Rev. Fr. Abraham Latoza, OAR followed by the Finals in the respective quiz bees done simultaneously. Students also listened to three paper presentations of selected students who have shown exemplary outputs in their Writing in a Discipline (EN 102) and Tungo sa Pananaliksik (FL 102).
