𝐆𝐂𝐓𝐂𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 | School life can be exciting, but we know it can also come with challenges. Having a hard time adjusting? Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or down? Struggling with friendships, relationships, academics, or personal concerns? Or maybe you simply need someone who will listen?

Remember, seeking guidance or mental health support does not mean that something is wrong with you. It does not make you weak, broken, or less capable. Asking for help is a sign of courage and a step toward taking care of yourself.

You don’t have to go through difficult moments alone.
Your GCTC family is here for you. 🤍

Happy Monday 🥰

A good week does not necessarily depend on everything going perfectly—it begins with the attitude we choose to carry.

“Hope in our heart” reminds us to believe that something good is possible, even when we have worries. “Purpose in our steps” encourages us to begin each day knowing that even small efforts can move us toward our goals. And “kindness in our actions” reminds us that how we treat others can make both their week and ours a little better.

Most importantly, we cannot always control the situations, challenges, or people we encounter, but we can control how we respond to them.

A friendly reminder for everyone, because at GCTC, “We Listen. We Guide. We Empower.”

💛💚

Even we’re exhausted, we keep choosing to try and that’s something to be proud of.

Every day may not go as planned, but every day offers something worth appreciating. Sometimes the good comes in the form of a smile, a lesson learned, a helping hand, or simply the strength to keep going. When we choose to look for the positive, we train our hearts to see hope even in difficult times. Remember, gratitude doesn't change our circumstances—it changes our perspective.

Today, take a moment to find one good thing, no matter how small, and let it remind you that every day is a gift.

💚 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 | 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟮

The learning continued beyond the discussion as students came together in a series of meaningful and engaging activities.

The celebration resumed with an energetic Zumba session led by our student facilitators, bringing everyone together through movement, fun, and school spirit.

Students then proudly recited the Pledge Against Bullying, affirming their commitment to creating a community rooted in kindness, empathy, respect, and inclusion.

To conclude the event, participants took part in the Harmony Mural, leaving their colorful handprints on a white canvas as a lasting symbol of their promise to stand against bullying and help create a school where every learner feels seen, heard, and valued.

Together, these moments remind us that every act of kindness... big or small, helps create a safer and more compassionate USI community. 💚🦕✨

Last July 24, students from Grades 4 to 12 gathered at the Frassati Gymnasium for this year’s Anti-Bullying Talk, a meaningful initiative that reinforced the importance of creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive school community.

The session was led by Ms. Krista Rikka O. Lapitan, RPm, CHRA who facilitated an engaging discussion on bullying—its different forms, its impact, and the role each individual plays in preventing it. Through meaningful conversations and reflection, students were encouraged to choose kindness, practice empathy, and become active advocates for a school where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.
