💙 THANK YOU, DEAR PARENTS! 💙

A heartfelt thank you to all our parents who went the extra mile to help secure our school entrance and ensure the safety of our learners. From waking up early to prepare your children, to staying until everyone is safely settled in their classrooms, your voluntary support and presence mean so much to us. 🙏

As agreed upon by the School Administration, metal forks are no longer allowed inside the school campus. As an initial step today, we provided free plastic forks to learners who needed them. However, we kindly encourage parents to provide plastic or other safe alternatives for your children as soon as possible.

For blades, scissors, cutters, and similar art materials, these may be borrowed from the subject teachers when needed for a specific activity, with proper supervision and control over their use.

We understand that this transition may not be smooth and easy for everyone. But every adjustment we make is guided by one goal: to keep St. Sebastian International School a safe, child-friendly, and learner-friendly environment. 🏫💙

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding. Together, we can make our school a safer place for every child.

Safety is a shared responsibility. When parents and school work together, our learners are better protected. 💙

As we continue our commitment to promoting a child-friendly and safe school environment, our teachers never miss an opportunity to instill in our learners the importance of faith and the One who truly protects their hearts and minds - our God above. 🙏

Our weekly Chapel Hour sets the tone for the day, providing a meaningful opportunity to nurture our learners’ minds, strengthen their faith, and prepare their hearts for a day of learning, growth, and positive choices.

Because a safe school begins not only with physical protection but also with nurturing the hearts and minds of our children. 💙

St. Sebastian International School successfully conducted its School Safety Drill and Nationwide School Simulation Activity today, September 3, 2026, at 9:00 AM, as part of our continuing commitment to keeping every learner, teacher, and school personnel prepared for emergency situations.

The drill gave our students and personnel an opportunity to practice proper emergency response, orderly evacuation, accountability, calm decision-making, and teamwork. Beyond simply practicing an evacuation, the activity reminded everyone that preparedness is built through consistent training and cooperation.

A special thank you and appreciation to Kap Rommel Flores and the Barangay Villamonte DRRMO Team for their valuable assistance and support during today's safety exit drill. Your presence, guidance, and commitment helped make this activity more meaningful and effective for our school community. We are grateful for your partnership in keeping our learners and personnel safe. 🙏

In support of the Bacolod City Public Advisory on haze, we remind our students and the entire SSIS community to take extra precautions-especially as we have recently observed an increase in Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI) cases in our school.
-Wear a face mask in public places and crowded areas.
-Keep doors and windows closed when haze is present.
-Stay hydrated and practice good hygiene.
-Avoid strenuous outdoor activities when air quality is poor.
-If you feel unwell, rest and seek medical advice.

Let’s continue to look after one another with the guidance of our Resident General Physician, Dr. Christine Joy J. Espiritu, MD.

Stronger Together. Safer Together. One Raven Family.
