The festive celebration of Hugyaw sa Kadarag-an ni Sr. San Nicholas De Tolentino combines faith and culture as the Dao Catholic High School students and teachers take a historic procession from the church to Igcaputol, led by the elite DCHS Tultugan. This grand occasion showcases the commitment of our community through different moments of awe: a dazzling theatre act by the talented students of DCHS; a solemn Mass in honor of Sr. San Nicholas; and an enchanting parade of lights with the energetic sadsad dance, together with other students from different schools. Each one of the elements of celebration intertwines faith, culture, and artistry in a tapestry of tradition and communal spirit. A time of joy celebrated with thanksgiving in truly unforgettable ways.

Viva Sr. San Nicholas De Tolentino!!

DCHS' Dagyaw 2024: Soaring High Together as We Build a Brighter Future!

Day 2 || Working together, DCHS Dagyaw 2024 has completed half of its work and the vibe here is tremendous! By using brooms, rugs, and bins —our students, the new instructors, and the parents transformed the campus into a vibrant learning environment today. Every scrape of dirt and dust removed, from pulling up fallen leaves to grooming the lawn, reveals a tale of devotion and cooperation.

Upon contemplating today's achievements, the potency of group efforts is underscored. Each and every students and teachers who walks through these doors is given a clean slate of opportunity and optimism by Brigada Eskwela 2024–2025.

All those who have accompanied us on this path to influence the future of our school, your efforts are much appreciated. Your dedication and excitement lifted DCHS to victory year after year. Allow us to carry on collaborating as we truly have the power to change things. Looking forward to this new school year with anticipation and excitement! Indeed, we are COMMITTED TO SERVE the school at its finest.

Day1 || As one community, Dao Catholic High School, Inc. is getting ready for the next chapter of its exciting history: 2024-2025 academic year full of promise and possibility. The goals of this year's brigada eskwela were relationship-building, teamwork, and reaffirming dedication to education rather than merely maintaining classrooms and general cleaning.

These photos capture the sweat and happiness that distinguish the Dagyaw 2024 experience. From sweeping floors to lugging chairs, each chore was a step towards establishing an atmosphere in which every child can thrive and grow.

Let these glimpses serve as a reminder that our actions today will influence tomorrow's leaders and innovators.

A heartfelt gratitude to all for joining DCHS' Dagyaw; here's to a year full of unlimited possibilities!

As this chapter draws to a close, it is important to reflect on the incredible journey shared together. From humble beginnings to reaching the pinnacle of the publication, each member has played a vital role in shaping The AURA Publication into what it is today. Our dedication, creativity, and passion have been the core of our success.

The journey was not without its challenges. There were times when the path seemed uncertain and obstacles appeared insurmountable. Yet, it was during these times that the true spirit of The AURA shone the brightest. Members supported each other, learned from setbacks, and emerged stronger.

As new milestones were reached, it became clear that The AURA was not just a publication; it was a community. A place where diverse perspectives came together, where creativity was celebrated, and where every member felt valued. Our bonds formed went beyond professional relationships; we were friendships built on mutual respect and a shared passion for the work. These connections have made the journey special and fulfilling.

The AURA has come a long way, overcoming numerous challenges and celebrating countless triumphs, to reach this remarkable peak. Each edition has been a labor of love, a reflection of the hard work and talent of every member. From the writers and editors to the designers and contributors, everyone has played a crucial role in its success. Together, we have created something truly exceptional.

Now, it is time to pass the sacred fire to the next generation. This transition is made with a sense of pride and confidence, knowing that The AURA is in capable hands. The future leaders and members of this publication have the talent, creativity, and passion to continue the legacy and take The AURA to even greater heights. They will build on the foundation laid, infusing it with fresh ideas and new perspectives, ensuring that AURA remains vibrant and relevant.

The next generation will continue to uphold and enhance the legacy that has been built. They will face their own set of challenges, but there is confidence that they will rise to the occasion, just as their predecessors did. The AURA's future will be shaped by their vision and dedication, and it is exciting to see where they will take it.

With heartfelt gratitude, the current members of AURA look forward to a bright future for the publication, knowing that it is in excellent hands and that its legacy will continue to grow.
