HS Administrative Supervisor Mr. Andres Ilocto opened the event through a message, welcoming the parents, students and guests. In his remarks, he emphasized that such an event is a celebration of the students’ journey and that the awards and milestones reflect their hard work and God’s sustained grace. As he quoted Jeremiah 29:11, Mr. Ilocto also affirmed that the future ahead of the students is full of purpose.

“You are not here by chance. God has a plan for each one of you, and your achievements are only the beginning of greater things to come,” he said.

In the awarding ceremony, Middle Years Programme (MYP) Years 2-4 and senior high school students were recognized for their outstanding performance in academics and co-curricular activities. Distinctions for With Honors, With High Honors and With Highest Honors were given for students’ academic excellence. The Chinese Department also conferred certificates of recognition for students who demonstrated remarkable performance in Chinese language and culture. Awards from Scholastic and sports tournaments like Chess, basketball, volleyball, and swimming were presented.

In between these award presentations, select performing groups delighted the audience with their special numbers. Hope Chorale charmed the crowd with their sing and dance performance of Ai Ni, while Hope Dance Troupe rendered a dance performance on a High School Musical song medley.

The program culminates with the message of MYP Coordinator Ms. Jhudelle Navarro, reminding the students that their learning journey is not just about grades but about preparing them for life.

“So wherever you go, wherever you go next, bring with you the IB Learner profile, not just as words, but as values you define,” she noted.
