On August 14, 2025, the Alliance of Future Scientists - Supreme Student Government (AFS-SSG) hosted the student body's annual acquaintance party, themed "The Wizards of Hogwarts: A Tale of the Four Houses." The event ran from 12:00 noon to 9:00 p.m. at the Philippine Science High School - Central Visayas Campus (PSHS-CVisC) Gymnasium.
The event began with an open-for-all runway, where students were given the chance to show off their Harry Potter-themed outfits. The tone for the event was set by the AFS-SSG President, Mary Mardelle Mernado, in her opening remarks. Then, all of the officers from the different campus organizations were inducted by the Curriculum Instructions Division (CID) Chief, Maโam Mary Joy Villamora.
The day was jam-packed with activities. The houses competed in major competitions such as bench yell and banner-making, showing their unique creativity. House members played against each other in Quidditch Dodgeball and the Ordinary Wizarding Level (OWL) Test. In between segments, the AFS-SSG, representatives from Grades 7 to 11, and Batch Hiraya Manawari entertained the scholars with fun performances.
The most remarkable parts of the event were the two Pisayโs Next Top Model (PNTM) runway challenges. The first challenge was the โDebut Runway,โ where the candidates showed their charm and charisma with an all-black look. The second challenge was the โMagizoologistโs Dream Runway,โ where the models were dressed up as different magical creatures.
Then, it was time for the long-awaited initiation. The freshmen and lateral students were lined up and blindfolded by their senior guides and, as per tradition, they went through different obstacles to mimic the rough journey they are about to embark on in PSHS-CVisC. Soon after, the freshies were sorted and had dinner in their respective houses.
The night ended with a campus-wide disco and the announcement of winners with Abode of Behemoth finishing first place in the bench yell competition and Temple of Manggad winning the banner-making competition. For the minor games, Abode of Behemoth and Casa di Vivace both won against their opponents in Quidditch Dodgeball, and Abode of Behemoth and Temple of Manggad tied first place for the OWL Test.
By the end of the event, the activities and competitions uplifted the student bodyโs house spirit, and PSHS-CVisC successfully welcomed the new freshmen and laterals to their new home for the next few years of their lives.
