An unforgettable evening of inspiration, recognition, and humble brilliance.

Last night, the school community came together in a truly remarkable celebration entitled “Elegance in Excellence: A Night of the 5C’s”—an awarding ceremony that honored not only academic and service achievements, but the deeper values that define true success.

Set against an atmosphere of grace and gratitude, the evening spotlighted students, including working scholars and graduating seniors, who have exemplified the core values of the institution: Creativity, Collaboration, Commitment to Achieve, Competence, and Character.

While the night was filled with cheers, applause, and heartfelt recognition, it also came with moments of laughter—especially when the school head lightheartedly shared common misconceptions about the 5Cs. From the idea that “creativity” only applies to art projects to the belief that “collaboration” means group work where one person does all the work, the message was clear: true excellence is deeper, humbler, and more meaningful than surface-level success.

A major highlight of the evening was the keynote address delivered by Ms. Rhea Joverez, whose presence and message deeply resonated with the audience. With stories of resilience, purpose, and staying grounded despite success, she inspired students to pursue greatness not for recognition, but for the impact they can make.

The event closed with a message from the school head, who reminded the students to walk with pride but lead with humility. “Wear your medals with honor, but let your legacy be defined by how you serve, not how you shine,” the closing remarks emphasized.

Indeed, the night was not just an awarding ceremony—it was a declaration of values, a tribute to perseverance, and a reminder that real elegance lies in how we uplift others with what we’ve achieved.

As the school year draws to a close, this event marks not an end—but the beginning of lives lived with purpose, guided by the 5Cs, and grounded in humility.

Congratulations to all awardees!
