“Enlivening SetonYan Spirit: Sharing Our Hearts and Soul” was the theme used during the Vision-Mission Day. The event started with a Virtual Mass in the morning, and it was followed by the National Calisthenics dance exercise.
The CSWB also sponsored a short-film viewing for the Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) divisions. After that, a friendly batch competition occurred among Setonians who played Family Feud, Escape Room, and Quiz Show.
Aside from playing games, a Pep Talk, Vocation Talk, and Symposium were simultaneously held for the learners of Grades 10-12. These events were followed by an Online Art Quiz in the afternoon.
The Vision-Mission Day ended with the Students Transition Empowerment Program for the Grade 10 parents in preparation for their transition as incoming SHS parents.
“Phantasmagoria: Dare to Dream” was the theme for School Fair 2022. The second day kicked off with a Morning Prayer and the National Calisthenics dance exercise.
After a short break, Setonians played in various House-sponsored activities as part of an inter-House competition. The House of Saint John XXIII emerged as the winner with a total of 273 participants who played in their sponsored activities.
In the afternoon, a Book Film Adaptation for the JHS and SHS students was conducted by the librarians from the Information and Literacy Unit.
