We were privileged to hear inspiring address from Mr. Alexander B. Sia, as well as a thought-provoking message from our esteemed Guest Speaker, Dr. Samuel Sumaoang, introduced by Ms. Ma.

The distribution of diplomas and the pledge of loyalty from selected Loyalty Awardee students were poignant moments symbolizing our commitment to excellence and integrity.

As I led the recitation of the Prince of Peace Integrated School Creed, I also gave a speech revitalizing the values instilled in us by this esteemed institution – values that will guide us as we embark on the next chapter of our lives.

recognition day 2024 “I see You Lord in the Glory of My Success” Recognition Day is the culmination of every student’s perseverance and dedication throughout the whole school year. It is the time when their hard work pays off and they get recognized.

Surely, this year hasn’t been easy for some students, yet attending this ceremony is a testament that they’ve done it despite the setbacks and challenges they’ve encountered.

Kudos to everyone!

-- Sophia Angel Zabala -This year’s Recognition Day is divided into two schedules: elementary and high school.

Although two events were divided, the flow of the program is still the same and takes place at Robinsons Place Antipolo, May 23, 2024. The emcee for the program was led by selected students: for the pre-school and elementary event were Francesca Louise Riños, & Sophia Angel Zabala; later on, during the afternoon event for the junior and senior high school were led by Cheska Mikaella Supangan, & Allyra Melan Macaisa.

As the ceremony starts exactly at the said time, C.A.T. officers from Grade 10 make their entrance, followed by the awardees and honorees from different grade levels with their beloved parents. As soon as everyone had taken their respective seats, it was now time for the Entrance of Colors, Prayer, Philippine National Anthem, Pledges, PPIS Hymn, and Welcome Address. Continuing the program, an inspiring message was delivered by a school alumni, Dr. Aisrel Veneracion.

Dr. Aisrel delivered a message that truly inspires everyone and is connected to the event’s theme: “I see you, Lord, in the glory of my success”.

It is now time for the most anticipated part of the program: the presentation of awards. Awardees and honorees now receive their medals, ribbons, and certificates as they go up to the stage together with their proud parents, followed by their community songs to commemorate this momentous event. Closing remarks, prayers, and the exit of colors were also done afterwards.

Before ending this narrative, I wanted to take this moment to congratulate everyone who has done a very good job.

With or without an award, your hard work wouldn’t go unnoticed. Always remember that there are still many years ahead of you and within those years, you can use that to bounce back and continue to do your best at your own pace.

A heartfelt “thank you” also goes to all teachers who continue to support every student's needs. Without their teachings and assistance, we would not be who we are today.

Again congratulations & kudos everyone!

BUILDING BRIDGES:

JOURNEYING TOWARDS GOD'S PROMISES Cheska Mikaella Supangan

The Baccalaureate Mass was a pivotal moment for the graduating Class of 2024 at Prince of Peace Integrated School. On May 20, 2024, at 2 PM, the Antipolo First Church of the Nazarene will be adorned with the presence of graduates from various departments, including Grade 6 (Elementary Department), Grade 10 (Junior High School Department), and Grade 12 (Senior High School Department).

United under the resonating theme of "Building Bridges: Journeying Towards God's Promises," this ceremony marks a significant milestone in our journey of faith and academic achievement.

As we gathered to celebrate this momentous occasion, we anticipated a program brimming with inspiration, camaraderie, and profound reflections. Led by our esteemed Master of Ceremony, Mrs. Mary Rose Permites, the mass commenced with a warm and heartfelt welcome from Mr. Alexander Sia, followed by an opening prayer led by Mr. Jeffrey Manuel. The PPIS Band graced us with a soul-stirring Song of Praise. Later on, Mrs. Lany Corral engaged the audience with an interactive icebreaker.

Throughout the ceremony, volunteers and selected students from Grades 6, 10, and 12 shared their testimonies, offering poignant insights into their personal journeys of faith and growth. Their stories served as a testament to the transformative power of education and faith-based guidance. Following the testimonies, the students, accompanied by members of the PPIS Band, delivered a special musical performance, showcasing their talents and celebrating the collective achievements of the graduating class.

Rev. Nick Abad delivered an inspirational message centered on our theme, "Building Bridges: Journeying Towards God's Promises." His words of wisdom resonated deeply, encouraging us to embrace life's challenges as opportunities for spiritual growth and divine intervention. In a solemn moment of commitment, Rev. Mark A. Juntado, our esteemed school principal, led us in a heartfelt Commitment Prayer, consecrating our futures to divine providence and seeking His guidance in the journey ahead.

As the ceremony drew to a close, important announcements were made, providing clarity on the next steps for the graduates and expressing gratitude to all those who contributed to the success of this memorable event. Mr. Arvin Pampola offered a closing prayer, invoking divine blessings upon our endeavors and bidding farewell to this sacred gathering with hearts full of gratitude and hope. Afterward, the students are surprised with customized token of appreciation as a souvenir for everyone, filling each heart with thankfulness.

The Baccalaureate Mass was not merely a culmination of academic achievements but a testament to the transformative power of faith, community, and spiritual guidance. On behalf of the graduating Class of 2024, particularly in Junior High School as President of 4th Year, I, Chaella Supangan, extend heartfelt gratitude to all who supported us on this remarkable journey. As we embarked on the next chapter of our lives, we vowed to continue building bridges, forging meaningful connections, and journeying towards God's promises with unwavering faith and boundless courage.

Congratulations to the Class of 2024!

Blessed Beyond Measure Sophia Angel Zabala

With the theme, “Blessed Beyond Measure”, Prince of Peace Integrated School celebrated its 19th year last February 29, 2024 to March 1, 2024. This is a significant day to reflect and give gratitude to everyone who has been part of the institution which includes the owners, administration, teachers, parents, students, and most especially, our God Almighty.

Truly, with PPIS having to celebrate this occasion, we cannot ignore all the blessings that have been given to the institution, which are immeasurable, therefore relating it to the day's theme.

The celebration was to follow a schedule that began with a Thanksgiving service and continued with various games throughout the morning, which were participated in by preschool through grade 6 pupils. Additionally, the students were given the opportunity to showcase their presentations that they had practiced throughout the week. Several booths or stores have been set up by the school for students to purchase food and toys according to their liking.

In continuation of the morning activity, the sports festival was held in the afternoon as the most anticipated activity of the event. At 12:30 in the afternoon, all students, along with their respective teams, gathered in the hall for some reminder to proceed with the event. The event consisted of various sports, including basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, and board games. Students were able to participate in these sports, and day 1 concluded the day for the elimination round.

As the clock strikes 8:00 in the morning of March 1, 2024, it now marks the second day of the event. Before the continuation of the semi-final and final games of all the sports, grade 5 to senior high school students also have their dance presentations. From grades 5 to 12, they were able to showcase their talents in dancing along with their confidence to present them.

Now, gathered in the different areas of the sport, are the thrilled and excited teammates of each group, ready to support their teammates. Screams filled the area as the semifinal and final games began, reminding people that they had already started. The games continued up until 12:30 to 5:00 p.m. Despite the heat, the games carried on until the winners were declared. At last, the winners were announced, and the day concluded with enjoyment. Although there is a winner, everyone who participated should also be considered a winner.

Despite setbacks in health due to intense weather and nearly missing the event, circumstances aligned for me to attend, albeit unwell.

Yet, amidst it all, I never failed to Shine the Brightest. I am thankful to this beloved institution for entrusting me with the passing on emblems, particularly the Key of Responsibility, to the next graduating class.

It was a truly memorable night, and I am grateful for following my heart, attributing all glory to God. This event exemplified entrusting everything to the Lord, and thus, I became known as Stella dela Sera.

The evening began with a vibrant registration process, as participants arrived in their finest attire, brimming with anticipation.

CAPSA academic & Sports COMPETITIONS 2024 Francesca Rinos & Sophia Zabala This year's CAPSA Academic Competition took place on March 8. Those that are competing are in the seventh through tenth grades.

Before I tell you my whole experience in the academic competition, allow me to introduce myself first. Hi, I am Francesca Louise M. Rinos, I am the President of SBC, Secretary of Grade 10 students, Marcher of CAT and lastly, I am included in the core team of Newsletter. Before the pandemic, our school; Prince of Peace Integrated School was already participating in these competitions prior to the pandemic. I recall entering the academic competition in the third grade and selecting Filipino as my subject. Nevertheless, our school and all other schools temporarily stopped participating in and holding this kind of competition when the pandemic started to spread. However, I'm happy that these kinds of events are beginning to happen again. Ma'am Malou, our subject coach, made the decision to call us early on March 8, 2024, so that we could review and remember what we had studied. I also observed a lot of pupils showing up at school that morning to study with their coaches.

On February 21, 2024, Prince of Peace Integrated School joined CAPSA (City of Antipolo Private Schools Association) 2024.

Our first event was at Sun Hwa International Academy, where the athletes met. At PPIS High School, their venue is Antipolo Lady of Lourdes School (ALLS). The first opponent of the Prince of Peace was Sumulong Memorial High School (SMHS), but they did not win because the opponent was strong.

They recovered in their next game, which was against Holy Spirit Integrated School (HSIS), but they still lost because the players were tired. But that's okay with them; even if they lose, at least that's their experience.

Aaleigha Roquino

We're all committed to studying hard and winning the gold medal. Up until noon. Our teachers made the decision to get to the tournament site one hour early. We feel anxious and apprehensive during the waiting times. Before the competition, every student experienced that same emotion, and that is pretty normal.

When the competition starts, we told ourselves to calm down because if we do not we may tend to forgot the things that we’ve studied. After competition, most of us are in 6th place. But only the top three finishers were selected to get medals; the rest are only placeholders. After competition, I saw tears, sadness, happiness in every people when I walk out the classroom.

Throughout the competition, I learned that it’s not about winning, it’s about giving your best shot. Even if you don’t win, what matters is, you tried. Every people in this world has their own perfect timing, maybe yours is soon to come. And take it from me, if you didn’t have it now, there is a better one coming for you. Losing does not mean failure, it means lesson. If you lose, at least you'll learn a valuable lesson that you can apply to your life sooner. For me, Failure is when you commit mistake that you already know that is wrong but you still kept on doing it.

I would want to thank everyone who tried their hardest! Another moment is never far away.

To all those who took home medals, congratulations! The PPIS Newsletter team is really happy for you!

Hey, PPISians, join us in applauding the incredible individuals who make up our table tennis community! Each participant brings their own unique style, skill, and passion to the game, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and excitement. From the seasoned champions who inspire us with their expertise to the enthusiastic newcomers who infuse the event with fresh energy, our participants are the heartbeat of our table tennis family.

Let's give a recognition to these remarkable players as we embark on another thrilling tournament together!

PPISians had the chance to show their amazing talent in thinking and making products that will help reduce climate change. It started by giving a task to high school students to create their own business proposal that helps with climate change. And the students helped each other build a project. And yes, it's hard to think of a possible business that helps with reducing climate change, but with the help of observation, experience was developed by the students who adapted to today's times. And the students were given a chance to share their own work on the GIFT, or Global Innovation Field Trip, with the many viewers. They were able to show their own ideas. And, fulfillingly, you can present our GIFT idea because we know that the gift is worldwide.

kidz discovery camp

EDUCATIONAL FIELD TRIP Sophia Angel Zabala Another year has gone by, and a new trip filled with fun learning and various activities for team building has occurred on Kidz Discovery Camp located in San Jose Del Monte Bulacan.

February 15 was set as the date for this trip, and various reminders were discussed to ensure that the trip would flow smoothly. This includes the things that are needed, the call time, and the proper attires.

At the said call time, students were already present at the school grounds waiting for the departure. Though there were some delays, still, everyone arrived safe and sound at the site of the trip. Upon reaching the said place, all students were given a time to eat their lunch to give them energy or power to be able to participate in the planned activities.

To build teamwork or collaboration between students, some relays were done as a starter activity. Through this relay, it helps bring students together in unity and create a bond between them. In addition to relays, they created a Creative Art Towel Activity that requires attention to detail and focus. This activity involves creating several folds that can be shaped into different designs or shapes. It is said that this creative art towel can be used in table settings, such as a utensil holder. By engaging in this activity, we can enhance our creativity.

Apart from those, they also make us visit the Enchanted Garden of Santa Clause which gives us the chance of seeing him and his home. Hydroponic & Urban Gardening was another activity where we get to learn another way of gardening that can be done without soil, rather, relying much more on water.

Among from any other plants, I’ve seen that they use lettuce for this type of gardening. In here, we get to watch how it was done, giving us idea about the topic Hydroponic Gardening.

A thrilling and exciting activity, known as the Sky Bike and Hanging Bridge, was held where students were instructed to cross the other side on a hanging bike. Although it may seem intimidating at first, rest assured that you're protected by harnesses, helmets, and other safety equipment. As you accomplish this activity, a sight of satisfaction will surely be evident as you overcome it with courage.

As the day nearly comes to an end, the trip won’t be completed without the water activities. Several kayaks were placed in the pool ready for the students to row it.

Kayaking was such a fun activity as you were doing it by pair, experiencing bumping into others which is supposed to be annoying, but actually fun. After going through the various activities the whole day, the trip ends with a free time for swimming. Freedom to swim wherever you want in the pool with the music blasting making it more fun and exciting.

Pre-school & elementary BIBLE CAMP Alda Garcia The Bible camp in PPIS is not new, but since the pandemic came, it has been stalled. But last January 26–27, the so-called Bible camp returned to the Prince of Peace integrated school.

This Bible camp is exclusively for elementary and preschool students. In this Bible camp, the children play, get involved, and learn.

VERSE HIGHLIGHT Cheska Mikaella Supangan “Blessed Beyond Measure” As we reflect on the past year, we are reminded of the countless blessings we have received. In the spirit of gratitude, we look to Scripture for inspiration and perspective:

Bible camps provide an immersive environment for learning about the Bible, prayer, worship, and Christian values. and not only that, but they also learned to interact with their fellow students and schoolmates. This Bible camp helps each student grow their spiritual growth and social skills. And for more information: On the first day of Bible Camp, the preschool students played, listened to God's message, and also shared a meal together.

They don't have a chance to have it overnight, but you can see the smile on their faces. And for grades 1–5, they also listened to the Lord's message and did a lot of other activities, such as a bonfire and many other things they also did overnight. This Bible camp may be short, but they surely enjoy it.

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

— Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV) This

expectations, thanks to the divine power at work within us. Our school community has experienced this firsthand through the achievements, growth, and support we have seen throughout the year.

As we move forward, let us carry this spirit of gratitude with us, acknowledging the extraordinary ways in which we are blessed. Together, we will continue to strive for excellence and celebrate the abundant blessings that enrich our lives.
