SANTIAGO CITY – Children First celebrated the annual liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary with a living rosary and a unity dance on October 28, 2023.

To honor this feast day, students, teachers and staff gathered in the school’s amphitheater for a series of activities that captured the essence of the occasion.

As a school dedicated to fostering the core values of Character, Faith, Service and Excellence among its students, Children First organized a living rosary and a graceful unity dance to commemorate this important event.

Representatives from each grade level were carefully chosen to participate in creating the living rosary. Each student held a candle that they lit while reciting the Hail Mary forming the shape of a rosary.

This touching ceremony paid tribute to Our Lady of the Rosary. Emphasizing the significance of tradition, communal prayer and unity within our school community.

Following this display of devotion came an offering of flowers to Mary. This gesture symbolized our love and gratitude for her intercession and gave every student a moment for personal reflection and contemplation.

The celebration concluded with a unity dance where students, teachers and staff joined together in celebrating their faith and devotion, to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

At Children First School, we prioritize nurturing faith and promoting unity, which becomes evident during occasions like the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. These celebrations truly highlight the student’s development in spirituality. Foster a strong sense of togetherness, within our supportive community.

SANTIAGO CITY - Children First School recently hosted an Asian Parliamentary Style Debate as part of its United Nations Celebration from October 26-27 at the school’s amphitheater.

The event, under the supervision of Academic Coordinator John Clyde Ranchez and Social Science Advisor Christine Antoinette Casil, saw debaters from Grades 9 to 12 competing for the titles of Best Debater and Best Speaker.

The tournament unfolded over two days, with four rounds, each featuring two teams contending over controversial debated propositions.

The event took place in the school's amphitheater and was presented by Vin Justin E. Bero, with Euan Saint S. Perez and Ian Pablo L. Galang as hosts and adjudicated by a mix of special guests and home judges.

The competition began with the first round, where Grade 9 took on Grade 10 in a battle of wits over the motion: "This House believes that, in underdeveloped countries, child labor is justified." In a fiercely contested round, Grade 10 emerged as the winners, demonstrating strong arguments and persuasive speaking skills.

The second round featured Grade 11 and Grade 12 debating the proposition, "This House supports the implementation of MATATAG curriculum in the Philippines." After a spirited debate, it was Grade 12 who emerged victorious, showcasing their eloquence and well-reasoned arguments.

The second day of the competition began with a surprising turn of events, as the majority of Grade 9 students were absent due to illness, leading to their entire class being suspended to prevent further contagion. Consequently, Grade 11 won by default. However, to justify their victory, an exhibition round was arranged, pitting Grade 11 against the experienced hosts, Euan Saint S. Perez and Ian Pablo L. Galang. This unconventional round revolved around the proposition: "This House regrets the rise of TikTok."

The championship round was the highlight of the day, featuring Grade 10 versus Grade 12, debating the controversial topic: "This House supports the approval of confidential funds among OVP, DepEd, DA, DICT, DFA." In a surprising outcome, Grade 10 emerged as the champions, defending their position with impressive arguments.

The competition left a lasting impression on the participants and the audience. A student from Grade 12, Vin Justin E. Bero, expressed his appreciation for the learning experience and praised the arguments presented by both sides. However, some students, like Drew Ezekiel Diamsay from Grade 8, felt that there could have been more arguments and tension during the debates.

The event organizers believed that the competition was beneficial for the development of young debaters. Euan Saint Perez, one of the hosts, shared his thoughts, saying, "Magagaling pero medyo kulang sa mga arguments, good for first-timers!" (Translation: "They were good, but a bit lacking in arguments, suitable for first-timers!")

The United Nations Asian Parliamentary debate at Children First School provided an exciting platform for young debaters to hone their skills, learn proper debating etiquette, and engage in thoughtful discussions.

Regardless of the outcome, all participants were left with valuable experiences and knowledge to apply in both academic and real-life scenarios.
