RECAP: SSCRdC holds its Tagaste 2025, ushers in new beginnings.
SSC-R Cavite celebrated its traditional welcome event, Tagaste 2025, on August 27, 28, and 29 at the Recoletos 4th Centennial Gymnasium with the theme of "Animnapung Taon: Misyon, Liwanag, at Gabay."
This event opened with the grand entrance of freshmen, transferees, and new employees as a welcome to the Sebastinian Community. Afterwards, the Mass of the Holy Spirit and a welcoming message from Fr. Dexter D. Palagtiosa, OAR, who emphasized the purpose of this awaited event, presided. An engaging performance was then showcased by the SSC-R Manila Jammerstags, SSCRdC Baste Dance Company, with the Student Organizational Presidents, and the Senior High School Department. Day one ended with a Salu- Salong Sebastino.
Day two highlighted the Augustinian Saints of the institution, starting with the Mass in Honor of St. Augustine, followed by the oath-taking ceremony of Sebastinian student leaders. Simultaneous afternoon activities of each school level also took place across two campuses. The procession from the Main Campus then finished with fireworks.
The last day of Tagaste began with a motorcade of Sebastinians into the Recoletos 4th Centennial Gymnasium, followed by the Mass. Subsequently, the Cañacao Campus Quadrangle was filled with enthusiasm as students gathered for the Bautismo Sebastino, the highlight of the event, as a welcome rite for Sebastinians. This three-day event concluded with the acquaintance party for freshmen and transferees, finishing Tagaste 2025 with camaraderie and bond formation among the Sebastinian Community.
