BALITA | Tanghal-Tula Tagubilin: Pamana ng Lahi

Nasungkit ng Gr. 8 St. John Berchmans ang kampeonato sa Tanghal-Tula Tagubilin: Pamana ng Lahi, isang patimpalak sa spoken word poetry, na ginanap sa Pope Francis Hall nitong umaga, Agosto 24, 2023.

Binigyan ng bukod-tanging interpretasyon ng bawat klase ang piyesang, ‘Papara Ka Ba?’ na sumasalamin sa mga isyung panlipunan ng bansa na kadalasang binabalewala ng mga Pilipino.

Ang ikalawang gantimpala ay nakamit ng Gr. 8-Bl. James Sales at ang ikatlong gantimpala ay nakamit naman ng Gr. 8- St. Stanislaus Kostka.

BALITA |Mga Kuwentong Pabula, Isinalaysay

Binigyang buhay ng bawat klase sa ikapitong baitang ang ilan sa mga kuwentong pabula sa ginanap na ‘iSaysay: Malikhaing Pagkukuwento’ sa Virginia Chiongbian Theater nitong Agosto 24, 2023 ng umaga.

Hinirang na kampeon ang Gr. 7 Garate sa kanilang interpretasyon ng pabulang, ‘Si Matsing at Si Pagong’. Nakamit naman ng Gr. 7 Bellarmine ang ikalawang gantimpala at ng Gr. 7 Brebeuf ang ikatlong gantimpala.

Layunin ng patimpalak na ito na mas lalong mapaigting ang pagkilala ng mga Ateneo Hearters sa mayamang tradisyon ng pagkukuwento, gayundin ang pagpapalawak sa kasanayang komunikatibo gamit ang wikang Filipino.

SHS-AdC’s tops Cesafi hip-hop dance contest

SHS-AdC’s topped the Cesafi hip-hop dance contest held yesterday, April 21, 2023 at the University of Southern Philippines Foundation theater.

“[W]e are all grateful for the opportunity and experience that even if we didn't win, we would still be happy to be there. Our win isn’t attributed to luck, but is attributed to everyone’s individual efforts, especially to our choreographers, Kuya Ches, Kuya Ricky and Ate Rov who were the masterminds behind the winning piece.” Martha Therese Baronda, a member of the Ateneo Blue Dance Troupe, told the SEEDS Publication.

Correction: A previous version of this Newswire erroneously stated that SHS-AdC dance crew AG!LA competed in the Cesafi hip-hop dance contest when, in fact, the competing team was composed of members of both AG!LA and the ABDT. In addition, Baronda is a member of the ABDT, not AG!LA.
