GAD & Wellness Seminar:

Lola Corazon, Candaba, Pampanga

October 17-18.  The activity kicked off with excitement at 4:00am when everyone gathered at the school ground to wait for the departure at 5:00 am. Leaving 30 minutes after the exact departure, the team travelled with  faith in their heart that God will always be their driver in any journey. This was visible on their first stop at the San Guillermo Church, Pampanga  at 9:30 o’clock in the morning.

At around 10:30 am the team arrived at the venue – Lola Corazon leisure Farm. On this period, teachers were met by the facilitators and different activities were provided. The first activity was Cheer competition where the group was divided into  five teams- Red, Yellow, White and Blue. This was followed by hollahoop relay and sandbag shooting. Lunch was served at 1:oo pm. At two pm teachers were allowed to  relish the beauty of the place. The most exciting one was the zipline where everyone was thrilled, young or old, heavy or light.

At 6:00 video presentation on Safety and Disaster Management was presented. Tips on survival and and other team building activities were tackled. At 7: pm dinner was served. Moment after the dinner was, unspeakable, unbearable, heartbreaking, indescribable! Where everyone can recollect, a juxtaposition of who really you are.

Second day, September 18, 2015, 6:30 am began with an exciting dance party atmosphere full of latin and international music, designed to bring people together to sweat it on; teachers did sexy moves with the ZUMBA.After the Zumba water game competition was a bit given a twist due to heavy rains and stormy winds, yet a plunge in the water was a mixture of different laughters; bursting, screaming, giggling and guffaw… a complete release of a piled up stress.

An activity without an evaluation is not complete. So, at 10:30 am everyone gathered at the pavilion to assess the output of the two-day activity. Strengths and weaknesses were discussed. Activities were linked to real life situations and how these activities can teach us lessons to make us grow  better individuals and educators in particular. A sumptuous lunch was served after the evaluation and at exactly 12:00 noon, the participants headed for their home sweet home.

Gender & Sensitivity Seminar:  

La Virginia Resort

The admin, the faculty and the staff from Balibago National High School, went to La Virginia Resort, Lipa, Batangas on May 28 to hold their Gender and Development Sensitivity Seminar.

After a one and a half hour of journey,  they arrived at  the hall of the La Virginia Resort, where tables and chairs were ready for them.  While waiting for other buses to arrive, others take the opportunity to take pictures with their friends in the awesome scenery of the resort. Others opted to stay inside the hall to drink coffee, or hot chocolate provided by the resort.  The Schools Division Superintendent, Mr. Hereberto Jose D. Miranda, as well as other guests, graced the occasion.

At exactly 9 o'clock, the Seminar was started by a prayer and  the guest speakers took turns in sharing about the seminar.

At 12 o'clock, they ate their sumptuous  lunch served by the resort's staff.  Afterwards, the team building activities commenced led by the Faculty Officers, together with their lively host, Mr. Noel J. Esma.  Boxes of chocolates and assorted candies were raffled out and were given as a reward for each group game. In the end, trophies were awarded to the group with the most number of wins.  Leisure time started after the seminar proper.  It's swimming time for some and strolling around and picture taking for others.  Others stay in the hall to sing their favorite songs in the air conditioned hall. 

At 6:00 p.m., they left the venue and headed their way back home bringing along with them a very relaxing experience to kick start another year of sacrifices for their students.

Thanks to Ma'am Cherrilyn Taleon, OIC and Division Education Supervisor for giving the teachers the opportunity to have a happy time together.
