The Grade 9 learners put Newton’s Three Laws of Motion into action through their Science Performance Task by designing, building, and testing their own balloon-powered cars.

Using simple, recyclable materials, the learners applied concepts of force, motion, and action-reaction forces while showcasing their creativity, teamwork, and understanding of science.

Watch as each group presents their design, demonstrates how it works, and puts their creation to the test in an exciting balloon-powered car race!

Through this hands-on activity, the learners showed how science can be experienced, tested, and put into motion.

𝗦𝗔 𝗕𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗧 𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗔, 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗣 𝗡𝗔 𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗔𝗡

May mga tagumpay na nagsisimula sa isang tahimik na sandali. Mga tagumpay na nagsisimula sa isang malalim na paghinga, sa matang nakatutok sa puntirya, at sa kamay na buong tiyagang humihila ng pana.

Sa bawat pagbitaw ng palaso, may kasamang pangarap. At sa bawat pagtama nito sa target, unti-unting nabubuo ang isang kuwentong puno ng tiyaga, disiplina, at pagmamahal sa sariling ginagawa.

Ganito ang kuwentong ipinapakita ni Wilson Rialyc Arche, na patuloy na nagbibigay ng karangalan sa ating paaralan at sa ating lalawigan sa larangan ng archery.

Sa Qualification Round, ipinakita niya ang kanyang husay at konsentrasyon at nakamit ang 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗮 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. Hindi rito nagtapos ang kanyang laban. Dala niya ang parehong determinasyon hanggang sa Olympic Round, kung saan nakamit niya ang 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝟰 𝘀𝗮 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 – 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗴 𝟯 𝘀𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗼 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Sa kanyang mahusay na pagganap sa R1AA Elementary Archery 20-meter Distance, gayundin sa Team Event, nakamit din niya ang 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗮 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗟𝗔𝗧 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 sa parehong kategorya.

At tila bawat pagtama sa target ay nagbukas ng panibagong pagkakataon. Sa Batang Pinoy 2026 Selection, napabilang si Wilson bilang 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝟭 𝘀𝗮 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗜𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗼𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗿.

Ngunit sa likod ng bawat medalya ay hindi lamang ang palaso at target. Nariyan ang mga araw ng ensayo, ang mga sandaling kailangang muling huminga at sumubok, at higit sa lahat, ang pagpiling magpatuloy kahit hindi laging madali.

Kaya naman, ang mga parangal na ito ay higit pa sa mga numero at medalya. Ang mga ito ay munting patunay ng sipag, disiplina, tiyaga, at pusong inilaan ni Rialyc sa kanyang pangarap.

Nawa'y patuloy niyang dalhin ang aral na ang tunay na tagumpay ay hindi lamang tungkol sa kung gaano kataas ang narating, kundi kung gaano katatag ang loob na patuloy na humakbang at sumubok muli.

𝘽𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙞 𝙠𝙖 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣, 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙍𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙮𝙘 𝙑. 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙚!

“Matalas na Pananalita, Matalinong Pamamahala sa Pananalapi”

Noong ika-15 ng Agosto, idinaos ang isang simposium tungkol sa Public Speaking and Financial Literacy sa Tagudin Town Hall na pinamunuan ni Dr. Ronald L. Oligario, DBA. Dinaluhan ito ng ilan sa mga mag-aaral ng SAS.

Naging isang makabuluhang karanasan ito para sa kanila upang maging pamilyar at maalam sa iba’t ibang aspekto ng pampublikong pagsasalita.

Nakatulong ang pagtitipon na ito upang maipahayag nila ang kanilang matatalas na ideya at opinyon nang may tatag at kumpiyansa.

Pinag-usapan din ang mahahalagang kaalaman tungkol sa financial literacy, na nagbigay ng mas malalim na pag-unawa sa wastong paghahawak ng salapi nang may disiplina at integridad. Ito ay pinamunuan naman ni Sir Carlo Ian A. Manalansan, PhD.

Ang pagtitipon na ito ay nagsilbing isang mahalagang pagkakataon para sa mga mag-aaral na malinang ang kanilang kasanayan sa komunikasyon at kaalamang pinansyal, na maaari nilang magamit hindi lamang sa paaralan kundi maging sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na buhay at paghahanda para sa hinaharap.
