On June 26, 2026, Nuestra Señora Del Refugio Parochial School, Inc. successfully conducted the Seminar on RA 10627: Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 at the school campus, bringing together our Nursery, Kindergarten, Grade 1–10 learners, teachers, parents, and school staff in a shared commitment to creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment.
The seminar aimed to deepen everyone's understanding of the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 (RA 10627), raise awareness of the different forms of bullying, encourage empathy and respect among learners, and emphasize the importance of speaking up and reporting bullying incidents.
