As part of the first-week activities, the High School Center for Counseling and Wellness (CCW) facilitated a talk entitled,“𝙂𝙍𝙄𝙏-𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝘼𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙: 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝.” The CCW, with the assistance of Mr. Nelwyn L. Tejada, was able to invite 𝗠𝘀. 𝗗𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗔. 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗼💟 and 𝗠𝗿. 𝗜𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗹𝘆𝗱𝗲 𝗧. 𝗗𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗼 🖤 of Batch Amaranthine 💜, to inspire our Grade 12 learners.

Ms. Castillo began the talk by introducing the challenges she faced as a former Louisian. Besides her dedication as a Louisian learner stands her drive into stardom. Ms. Castillo went through her academic life balancing both her pageant career and her academic responsibilities. The challenges were not easy, as she had to sacrifice parts of her to attain her goal and maintain her academic standing. But, she proudly stood in front as a testament on how far grit and determination can bring balance to both passion and responsibility.

Afterwards, Mr. Del Mundo takes the stage to connect with the Louisian learners and future leaders. Guided by his previous leadership experience as a SANAMA president, he painted the challenges of a student leader and the expectations attached to it. Balancing both responsibilities usually comes smoother to student leaders, yet he found himself shaken and overwhelmed. Grit and persistence, sprinkled with some creative identity, have pushed Mr. Del Mundo to succeed and overcome all the challenges he faced during high school. Now, as a Law student, he puts his experience and grit as his driving force in the pursuit of educational justice.

Once a Louisian learner, now a proud alumni of their respective batch. Both are testaments of how much grit can truly push a Louisian during their most difficult challenges. 𝘼𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙨, 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙣𝙞 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙤𝙗𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙩.

Junior High Center for Counseling and Wellness Equips learners for AY 2026-2027

June 25, 2026 marked a meaningful start to the academic year as the Junior High Center for Counseling and Wellness conducted two simultaneous orientation talks designed to help learners confidently navigate their new academic journey.
Held at the John Van Bauwel Function Hall, Mrs. Marion Nicole Rodillas-Bernardino, with the assistance of Mr. Lemuel Tindungan, facilitated an engaging session for Grade 7 learners entitled "LEVEL UP: Surviving and Thriving in Grade 7 – Your Guide to the High School Adventure." The talk aimed to help incoming junior high school learners adjust to the demands and opportunities of junior high life. The session introduced learners to The Grade 7 Experience, highlighting the key differences between elementary and junior high school and preparing them for the changes they will encounter. Participants also took part in a Gen Alpha Check-In, where they explored the unique strengths of their generation, recognized common challenges, and learned practical strategies to overcome these weaknesses.
To encourage habits that lead to long-term success, Mrs. Rodillas-Bernardino shared The Secret to Success through three simple yet powerful habits:
Show Up – Be present and make the most of every opportunity to learn.
Ask Questions – Embrace curiosity and seek understanding whenever something is unclear.

Be Consistent – Build success through small, positive actions practiced every day.
The session concluded with an inspiring reminder that resonated with the learners:

"Grade 7 is not about being the smartest student in the room. It's about becoming a better version of yourself every day. Some days you'll win. Some days you'll learn. But every day is a chance to grow."

Meanwhile, at the Gerard Decaestecker Mini Theater, Ms. Knuzca Riza Amistad conducted an orientation for Grade 8 to Grade 10 transferee learners entitled "Starting Strong: Effective Study Habits for a Successful School Year." The orientation focused on helping new learners smoothly adjust to their new school environment while introducing effective study habits and learning strategies that promote academic success. Ms. Amistad emphasized the importance of organization, time management, active learning, and maintaining a positive mindset as learners transition into their new academic community.
She concluded the session with an encouraging message:

"Study smarter, not harder! By actively developing good study skills and learning strategies, you will keep your motivation high and achieve your goals more easily and more efficiently."

Through these meaningful orientation programs, the High School Center for Counseling and Wellness reaffirmed its commitment to supporting learners' academic, personal, and socio-emotional development. By equipping learners with essential life skills, positive habits, and practical strategies, the Center continues to empower learners to confidently embrace the challenges and opportunities of the new school year.

The Senior High Center for Counseling and Wellness proudly re-launched its Independent Living Program through an inspiring talk facilitated by Ms. Maylanie C. Tuba-ang, a faculty member from Benguet State University.

Entitled “𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙤: 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡,” the session was designed for Grade 11 learners who are beginning to navigate the realities of living independently and adapting to new environments. Ms. Tuba-ang shared practical insights on managing finances wisely by guiding learners to mindfully distinguish between needs and wants. To reinforce these lessons, participants took part in a hands-on activity that honed their budgeting skills.

While living independently comes with challenges, it is also a powerful milestone that builds confidence and self-trust. Learners are reminded that independence doesn’t mean isolation, instead, they are encouraged to seek support from family, friends, teachers, guidance counselors, and other trusted adults along the way.

The Center for Counseling and Wellness continues to believe in every learner’s capacity to thrive because independence isn’t about being alone, it’s about growing stronger, wiser, and ready for what lies ahead. 🌱💗

With the growing influence of technology, Mr. Imado and Mr. Benitez shared practical insights to our Grades 9 and 10 learners on staying safe online, recognizing cyber threats, and promoting responsible digital citizenship.

These sessions not only strengthened our learners’ awareness of safety and responsibility but also reinforced the importance of beginning the school year with meaningful discussions on respect, protection, and responsible citizenship. They further highlighted the value of collaboration between the school and our local police office in nurturing responsible and empowered youth.

Starting the School Year Right 💪

The SLU BEdS High School Center for Counseling and Wellness warmly welcomed the Junior and Senior High School learners as they returned to campus for the Academic Year 2026–2027.

On June 23–24, 2026, the Center for Counseling and Wellness conducted a Student Services Orientation to introduce learners to the various programs and services available through the Center for Counseling and Wellness. The CCW staff, Mr. Lemuel Tindungan, facilitated the orientation for Grade 11 and Grade 12 learners, while Ms. Knuzca Riza Amistad led the session for Grade 7 to Grade 10 learners.

To kick off the first day of classes, learners participated in a variety of fun-filled booth activities, including Drop the Ball, Ring Toss, Puzzles, and a Photo Booth. A Freedom Wall featuring the prompt, “Which hero are you this school year?” also encouraged learners to reflect on the qualities they aspire to have by writing their names under the hero they wished to become throughout the school year.
