The Department of Science and Technology – Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) teamed up to enhance school teachers’ understanding of space science technology application for classroom instruction in a two-day space education seminar-workshop at Hotel Stotsenberg in Clark, Pampanga last February 16-17.

With the theme, “Exploring Space Science in the Classroom,” the seminar-workshop included interactive microgravity and vacuum experiments and activities using rovers and communication to demonstrate time delay.

The participants recreated Canadian Robot Arm on the International Space Station (ISS) through innovative materials like paper cups and strings.

Through the use of Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) open-source software, the participants manipulated and visualized actual satellite images of the Earth’s appearance from the outer space for remote sensing various features of the Earth like vegetation, land use, contamination of bodies of water, and atmospheric condition.

The Philippine Science High School – Central Luzon Campus (PSHS-CLC) hosted the event.

Scholars Take the First Step for the Construction of World Peace

by: Alyanna Maxine Esquerra (PSHS-CLC Scholar)

To become one of delegates of the forum, also known as the Ritsumeikan Super Global Forum, held in Japan was such an honor. Having been one of the ten people chosen to represent the Philippines, with the representatives taken from different campuses of the Philippine Science High School System, this was something I knew I needed to take seriously.

The forum was entitled “For the Construction of World Peace.” The objectives of the forum were to make students from all over the world be aware of the many issues happening all around the globe from which they must grapple and find solutions for, and to be able to establish friendships, partnerships, and gain a sense of leadership. Through discussions, workshops, and research, the representatives were tasked to share issues of their own countries and its possible solutions. My partner, Jakob Decena, and I were assigned the topic about issues on natural resources in the Philippines and how we think we could possibly solve these.

Family Day 2.0

by: Sheena Kaye Tolentino and Mark Allan Mananggit            

With the success of the first-ever Family Day last 2015, it was with great anticipation to start this year with Family Day 2.0. Last January 16, 2016, Philippine Science High School – Central Luzon Campus, once again celebrated the said event with enthusiasm. The event aims to gather members of the PSHS-CLC community, family, friends and students to remind each and every one of us that we are part of a common endeavour. An opening function that allows the whole team to have a bit of fun and socialize in a comfortable environment to create a sense of camaraderie, boost morale, build team spirit and re-ignite vision. Moreover, for each individual to partake in a charitable event that will fund the units of computer for the benefit of the PSHS-CLC students.

The Guidance Center spearheaded the event in partnership with the General Parent-Teacher’s Association. The faculty and staff also showed their support as in charged in hosting the program, registration, game facilitation, presentations, documentations, raffle draws and other related tasks for the said event. Altogether, undoubtedly worked hand-in-hand to ensure the success of Family Day 2.0, for the whole PSHS-CLC community to enjoy while achieving the objectives of the event.  

The program proper started at around 8:00 am. It began with ‘Doxology’ performed by Sunis, followed by singing of the National Anthem which was led by Mr. Ruselle Castro (Music Teacher). The program was graced by the message of General PTA President – Pastor Gerry Oarde. His message acknowledged everyone for their unrelenting support to the school and encouraged everybody to continue building a better relationship within the PSHS-CLC community.

The reading of raffle mechanics was initiated by the officers of General Parent-Teacher’s Association. It was clearly defined to guarantee that everybody will not only have fun, but also contribute to a charitable purpose. The special day was warmed up by the performances of different clubs showcasing their talents, not just in dancing but also in music. Absolutely, PSHS-CLC students are likewise artistically exceptional, alongside their academic achievements. To create a sense of camaraderie through a healthy competition, every batch has representatives playing for different parlor games. Namely: Moving on up, The Mummy Relay, Hula Hoop Hysteria, Cheese Ring Relay, Scoop it up and Bring me.

Everyone was undeniably pleased with the outcome of the event, the best way to share, enjoy and talk about good and inspiring stories. Parents, students, faculty and staff got the chance to eat together and bond where hierarchies cease to exist. The program was ended with the message of Mr. Mark Xavier E. Bailon, Student Services Division Chief, acknowledging the efforts of each and every one for the success of the Family Day 2.0.
