The Luminescence

ISTAP! ISTAP! CHECKPOINT ANAY TA!

The struggle is real, BCSHS Community! Sometimes the excitement of going back to school makes us forget the most important things. Whether it's your ID, ballpen, notebook, schedule, or even your classroom assignment, the first day always comes with a few unexpected adventures.

But that's what makes the start of a new school year memorable—new faces, new experiences, and funny moments you'll laugh about for the rest of the semester. 😆

Now it's your turn!

"First day of school and nakalimot ko sa ________."
A. ID
B. Ballpen
C. Schedule
D. Ako mismo 😭

Tag your friends who would definitely be this student and share your funniest first-day story!

𝐈𝐂𝐘𝐌𝐈 | 𝐁𝐂𝐒𝐇𝐒 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐄𝐬𝐤𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠

Students, parents, teachers and community stakeholders convened at Baybay City Senior High School for the Department of Education's annual Brigada Eskwela with the theme, "Bayanihan sa Paaralan: Nagkakaisa para sa Kaayusan at Kaalaman" to participate in week-long cleaning and renovation drive in preparation for the opening of classes.

Mrs. Grecelda Montalban, principal, gave her state of the school address during the opening program held at BCSHS gymnasium.

In her address, she emphasized the importance of solidarity between peers in the maintenance and upkeep of school facilities, and that cleaning standards should be sustained year-round, beyond Brigada Eskwela.

"We should always reflect the four core values of DepEd: Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, and Makabansa... and treat each other with respect.

Cleaning should not just take place on the day of Brigada Eskwela, but should be upheld for the whole school year", Mrs. Montalban said.

The program also recognized partner stakeholders. Among those present were Ms. Shiela Mae Joseph from Metro Ormoc Community Multi Purpose Cooperative, PMSG Lovella Jane E Labesig, Baybay CPS, Chief Police Community Affairs and Development PNCO, Rosalina D. Quilla, representative from the Moral Recovery Program, and Counselor Romula Alcala, who gave a short message.

Students, parents, and volunteers then dispersed to their designated areas and assignments to take part in cleaning and preparing the school, as it welcomes another set of senior high school students.

Baybay City Senior High School is among the thousands of schools included in this nationwide initiative, where learners are taught the value of unity, partnerships, and ecological literacy.
