[QUILL UPDATE] Recreation minus the pause button

The AdZU grade school filled with excitement and vibrancy for the re-opening of the GS playground on October 24, 2023 in the Grade School Complex.

This special event was turned over in collaboration with PTA Executive Board headed by the PTA President, Mr. Fradzkhan Ilaji. This is a great way for students to be build character and camaraderie towards others.

There are many benefits for the playground. Students can develop social skills with their peers–letting them interact within each other. The playground is a great example of "social scenes" in school. As quoted by the Grade School Principal, Ma’am Elena Segurigan, “The playground is a vital space to create memories; form friendship, teamwork and resiliency.”

Students develop crucial physical, social and emotional skills necessary to gain self-confidence, improve coordination and advanced critical thinking capabilities–engaging in their senses which give great extent in learning outside the classroom.

“The children’s laughter reminds us how we used to be.” It is astonishing to reap how a simple space plays an important role in a child’s development and how children’s happiness reminds us how we were before, Mr. Ilaji quoted.

We are thankful to the community for doing their best and cheers to the people who gave out this amazing event!

Leadership Training: Molding 21st century leaders of Modern Times

With the aim of fostering a sense of social involvement, The Student Activity Office in partnership with the Campus Ministry Office organized Leadership Training 2023.

The organizers ensure maximum students' engagement embedding "Encanto" vibes in the training proper. "I really like the training. I am not only having fun, but I am also learning how to be a good leader" A student leader said.

As an initial activity the participants wrote their promises to help preserve the planet in the form of promised letters.

Ms. Ronamae Luy, the Student Activity Coordinator said, "Being a leader is not a title but a mindset." Everyone can be a leader; it only takes a good mindset to become a good one.

Bro. Rex Francis Cos, SJ, moved students' hearts as he presented the session on ‘Leading Oneself’. In his words, "Everyone is a combination of lights and shadows," stating that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, one must be brave to surpass all the challenges in life.

Additionally, Mr. Abdu Rahim Kenoh III, emphasized that leadership isn't just telling others what to do but leading by example. Subsequently, he said that the Head, Heart, Hands, and Health play a crucial part in leadership.

He left the campers with a quote that says, "The BEST and most effective leaders are those who lead by example".

The speakers emphasized that leadership begins with one's self and it brings out to lead others.

Corroborating this idea, Fr. Guillrey Anthony M. Andal, SJ, the University President highlighted the true meaning of a leadership - "To be a true LEADER is to be a SERVANT". We recognize the persistence of the young leaders for attending and participating in this year's Student Leadership Camp.
