🌍 Empowering the Next Generation of Global Leaders!

From July 16–18, 2026, students from Grades 7–12 embarked on an inspiring leadership journey through the HPAIR Leadership Program, held at the John Gokongwei Innovation Center.

Over three days of immersive learning, participants explored pressing global issues, engaged in collaborative workshops, and developed the knowledge and skills needed to become leaders who create meaningful change. The program was made even more memorable with the visit of two mentors from Harvard University, who shared their insights, experiences, and encouragement, inspiring our students to pursue leadership with purpose and confidence.

One of the highlights of the program was the presentation of the students' Passion Projects, where they showcased innovative ideas and community-based initiatives aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Their presentations demonstrated creativity, critical thinking, and a deep commitment to addressing real-world challenges through sustainable solutions.

We are incredibly proud of our student delegates for representing our school with excellence, curiosity, and the Lasallian spirit of service. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Harvard College Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) and our Harvard mentors for creating an enriching platform that empowered our students to think globally and lead with impact.

Congratulations to all our participants! May this experience continue to inspire you to lead with courage, serve with compassion, and make a difference in your communities and beyond.
