The School of Education celebrated the Education Week last September 6 to 11 having the theme “Celebrating a Hundred Years of Jesuit Education and Leadership”. There were sorts of activities prepared to build rapport and camaraderie among students. Some of the activities were: Seminars on Ignatian Way of Proceeding and Leadership, Sports Fest, Coastal Clean-up, Operation Shoebox, Quiz Bowl, a booth for mailing a thank you letter to the different teachers and others.
