Tuburan National High School’s Senior High School Academic Track (ABM, HUMSS&STEM) held its Academic Send-off at Tuburan Covered Court, Tuburan, Cebu, Philippines.
The Academic Send-off is a way to prepare the learners before they go through with their immersion.
I arrived at the venue at exactly 8:00 am where the chairs are not yet occupied by the learners and their parents. As teachers, we guided everyone who came and directed them to which chairs they are supposed to be seated.
The program started at exactly 8:30 am by a holy mass.
The presiding priest highlighted the value of having Jesus Christ in our lives, let He lead our life decisions and guide each of us in every choice and life decision we make.
I certainly agree with what the priest preached, it is really important that we work hard in life to achieve what we want to pursue, but we must remember to keep our faith.
There are just some instances where we reach what we feel what is peak of what we already have, but we fail to recognize our humble beginnings, which is not good.
The mass ended and we had a pictorial with all the faculty members and the priest as well.
The program proper began at exactly 10:00am. It was started by a processional by the academic learners, sponsors, guests, PTA officials, faculty and staff. Everyone walked in the middle of the aisle of Tuburan Covered Court.
Next was the entrance of colors by the Tuburan National High School Boy Scout Of The Philippines.
Then the Diwa Tuburan Musicale lead the Philippine National Anthem, Sugbo Hymn and Tuhuran Hymn. It was followed by a doxology by Diwa Tuburan Performing Arts.
Our master teacher then came into the stage to deliver her welcome speech.
She welcomed everyone including all our special guests and visitors, the learners and their parents and guardians and welcomed us all, the faculty and staff of Tuburan National High School.
She delivered her speech by telling the learners to be an eagle. One who is focused, resilient, having the attitude of freedom and power.
Next, my colleague introduced today's keynote speaker. He told us about the background and life story of our keynote speaker for today.
And here she is. The directress of Cebu Technological University Tuburan Campus.
She delivered her inspirational speech to the learners that will indeed be a huge help for them to have more thoughts to ponder for the near future.
One thing I look forward on events like these are really these keynote speakers, I always look up to these people because they are the successful ones and they are sharing whatever secret they have to success.
Each people has their own story to tell and we all have our own individual ways to cope up with life. It is just a matter of how we do our decision-making.
Next, our municipal mayor came to the stage to deliver his inspirational message also.
The municipal mayor of Tuburan shared his success as to how he got into his position now despite the extreme poverty he has undergone. The municipal mayor shared life lessons which are indeed inspiring and life-changing.
Next, is another speech from Tuburan Public Schools District Supervisor.
He highlighted some important things: number one to look around you, your friends, your classmates, your bestfriends. He reminded everyone to "choose your circle wisely".
We were instructed to be usherettes during this event and we will be giving the leis to the special guests and visitors. Some teachers are instructed to do the physical arrangement and so much more.
My co-teacher then came to stage to host the candle lighting ceremony.
The learners lit their individual candles while the song "One Little Candle" was played.
After the candle-lighting ceremony, the pinning ceremony began. The learner came up to the stage together with their parent who will pin the name plates on their children at the stage.
Here is a closer look on the name plates that will be pinned to the learners.
Each learner is given a pin to be pinned by their parent or guardian.
The Send Off Ceremony was a success. Everyone had a fulfulling time and moment.We ended the day with a group photo.
