Fatimanians actively participated in their annual Career Day as part of their preparation for the next chapter of their academic journey—college and beyond. This meaningful event served as a guiding platform for students to explore possible career paths, reflect on their strengths and interests, and gain valuable insights that will help them make informed and confident decisions about their future.

All graduating Senior High School students of CFSI Mabiga took part in the Career Day, held under the inspiring theme “Beyond Dreams: Crafting Your Future with Purpose.” The program encouraged learners to go beyond simply dreaming of success and to begin shaping their goals with intention, clarity, and commitment. Through shared experiences, guidance, and exposure to real-world opportunities, students were empowered to envision a future grounded not only in ambition but also in purpose and direction.

Part of the activity included an informative discussion on the process of securing a government-issued ID, which was thoroughly explained by Mr. Yasser T. Puno, the Academic Coordinator, who served as the resource speaker. This session equipped students with essential knowledge about important documents they will need as they transition into college life and future employment.

Meanwhile, students also gained practical skills on how to craft their own resumes and confidently ace job interviews. This segment was facilitated by the School Registrar, Ms. Marietta A. Montillon, who shared valuable tips on presenting oneself professionally and effectively in real-world employment settings. Through these discussions, students were better prepared not only academically but also in developing the essential life skills needed for their chosen careers.

The highlight and most anticipated part of the event was the Runway of Professions, where selected Fatimanians proudly represented their respective academic tracks by showcasing professional attire aligned with their future career goals. This activity boosted students’ confidence and allowed them to visualize themselves as future professionals, reinforcing the importance of preparedness, self-presentation, and purpose.

Overall, Career Day served as a meaningful reminder that the future is not only something to dream about but something to prepare for. With guidance, determination, and purpose, Fatimanians are now better equipped to take their next steps beyond dreams and toward a future they are ready to craft.

Grade 10 Fatimanians attended their annual Career Day last November 14, 2025, with the theme “Ready, Set, Goal!: Your Career, Your Success.” Spearheaded by the Guidance Office, this activity aimed to equip students with the essential information they need as they prepare for their transition to senior high school.

One of the main highlights of the program was the series of talks delivered by invited resource speakers, who shared their insights and tips on navigating senior high school according to their chosen strand.

Jarence Caye B. Ramos discussed her journey through ABM (Accountancy, Business and Management). Charmaine T. Simbulan shared her exploration of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Patrick Carlos D. Famanilay offered his insights on pursuing HUMSS (Humanities and Social Sciences), while Ian Baron N. David gave tips on becoming competent in the field of ICT (Information and Communications Technology). All resource speakers and attendees shared something in common: being Fatimanians, an experience that helped the students relate to their stories.

After the talks came the most awaited segment of the program: Dress Your Profession. Selected Fatimanians from both the Mabalacat and Dau junior high school campuses were recognized for their effort in dressing professionally to represent their dream careers. A question-and-answer portion was also held for the top three candidates to determine the winners of the Outstanding Future Professional award.

This annual activity is part of the Guidance Office's career guidance program, designed to help Fatimanians develop a clear understanding of who they want to become and which path they wish to pursue for future success.

“𝓑𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓓𝓲𝓯𝓯𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮.”

These three words remind us that every action, no matter how small, has the power to save a life. In a world where many silently battle pain, isolation, or hopelessness, choosing to listen, choosing to reach out, and choosing kindness can mean everything.

As members of the Fatimanian community, we are called not only to pursue excellence in academics and service, but also to embody compassion, empathy, and solidarity. Su***de prevention is not just about interventions in moments of crisis—it’s about creating a culture of care where each Fatimanian feels valued, supported, and never alone.

Sometimes, being the difference means offering a listening ear to a classmate, extending patience to a friend, or reminding someone of their worth when they have forgotten it themselves. Within our halls and circles, we can be the safe space that inspires hope and healing.

This Su***de Prevention Month, let us, as one Fatimanian community, stand together to break the stigma around mental health, to foster open conversations, and to remind each other that help is always available, and hope is always possible. By being the difference, we become instruments of light in someone’s darkest hour.

Gardens of Petals and Petals, August 20, 2025 — Fatimanians gathered for the Basic Psychological First Aid Training aimed at equipping students with the skills to listen with empathy, respond with care, and provide support to peers in moments of distress.

The program highlighted the importance of compassion, presence, and resilience in fostering a supportive school community. Through engaging activities and discussions, participants learned practical ways to extend psychological first aid and promote mental health awareness within the campus.

A special highlight of the event was the pinning and appointment of the Safekeepers, student leaders who are now entrusted to serve as pillars of care and support among their peers. Their commitment to mental health advocacy was warmly recognized, marking a new step toward a more compassionate and resilient Fatimanian community.

In times of struggle, a listening ear and a caring heart can make all the difference. Through this training, students will gain the skills to provide Basic Psychological First Aid (PFA) — learning how to listen with empathy, respond with compassion, and extend support to peers who may be going through difficult moments.

This isn’t just about helping others — it’s about creating a community of understanding and safety, where students look out for one another. Together, we can build a culture where mental health is prioritized, and kindness becomes our strongest response to pain.

Be part of our movement! 💚

Join the Student Allies for Emotional Wellness as dedicated Safekeepers, ready to protect and uplift others in times of need.

Let’s nurture resilience, empathy, and hope — one student at a time. 🫶
