Courage, Care, and Preparedness
The Sacred Heart Ateneo de Cebu Alumni Association is grateful to support the Senior High School of SHS ADC.
Dr. Jorge Oรฑate, Batch 1992, will be resource speaker for Grade 12 students on September 1 and Grade 11 students on September 4.
Rooted in our shared Jesuit tradition of cura personalis and our mission of being persons for others, this formation initiative reflects the enduring commitment of our alumni to continue walking alongside the Ateneo community and helping shape the next generation of Ateneo Hearters.
In preparation for the sessions, a planning meeting was held on August 26, 2026, at the Senior High School Boardroom with Dr. Jorge Oรฑate, Mr. Joey Gaisano, Batch 1996, Mrs. Annie Abucay, Senior High School Principal, Ms. Laurice Paconla, Assistant Principal for Student Formation, and the SHS Guidance Counselors.
The discussion centered on how the sessions can help our Ateneo Hearters develop greater emotional safety, vigilance, responsible action, and care for one another. Through the theme, โCourage, Care, and Preparedness: Helping Ateneo Hearters Build a Safe and Supportive School Community,โ the sessions aim to encourage students to become more attentive to the needs of others, make wise and responsible choices, and recognize their role in creating a community where everyone feels safe, supported, and cared for.
For the Alumni Association, this is more than an opportunity to share knowledge. It is a meaningful expression of the alumni spirit that connects generations of Ateneo Hearters: to care for one another, to respond with courage, and to use what we have learned in the service of others.
May this formation opportunity inspire our Ateneo Hearters to carry these values with them, not only within the school community, but wherever their journey may lead them.
