PAREF schools from Springdale, Westbridge, Northfield, and Southridge gathered in Iloilo for Leadership Voyage 2026, a four-day summit centered on the theme “Leadership as Service: Navigating Toward Impact.” The event brought together student leaders from different PAREF schools to learn, collaborate, and grow through talks, workshops, immersion activities, and shared experiences.

On the first day, delegates formed connections through games, team-building activities, and meaningful conversations. Despite coming from different backgrounds and experiences, they found common ground, built friendships, and developed unity that lasted beyond the summit.

The summit opened with sessions that redefined leadership not as authority, but as a responsibility to serve. In the opening program, the Governor and Vice Governor of Iloilo shared insights from public service, emphasizing integrity, humility, and accountability. Delegates also reflected on the value of student leadership, the principle that “the leader eats last,” and the mission of the PAREF community.

On the second day, delegates traveled to Damires Hills for a leadership immersion. Through outreach activities, a farm tour, and reflection sessions, they saw firsthand how service, compassion, and collaboration can uplift communities. The experience showed that even simple acts of generosity can leave a lasting impact.

The third day combined spiritual formation and practical leadership training. Delegates celebrated the Feast of St. Josemaría Escrivá through Holy Mass before joining workshops on project management and proposal writing. The day ended with Navigators Night, where each school showcased performances celebrating the creativity and camaraderie of the PAREF community.

Leadership Voyage 2026 concluded with a challenge for delegates to bring its lessons home. More than a summit, it reminded participants that leadership is measured not by titles, but by lives transformed through service.

Curious minds gathered throughout the school as the very 1st PAREF Springdale Research Congress and Science Fair was held on April 20, 2026.

The program began in the Auditorium, where the Invocation and National Anthem occurred. Afterwards, Head Teacher Mr. Edgar Allan Jabone gave the opening remarks, welcoming the attendees and kicking off the event. Following this, the rules and mechanics of the competition were presented to the audience.

Dr. Rolando Obiedo, the Dean of the School of Education of the University of San Carlos, then presented his keynote address. In it, he emphasized the importance of both scientific and moral development in our modern generation. Once his speech concluded, the Open Forum began, as students prepared for their oral and poster presentations.

Judges from Springdale and some external experts roamed around the school, entering the High School classrooms to judge their posters and studies. The IP teams from Grades 7-12 participated, putting their research under heavy scrutiny.

The Grade 12 research teams orally presented their projects to a panel of judges. The judges questioned the teams on the important aspects of their studies, allowing them to display their unique concepts and experiments. Ultimately, the program concluded with the presentation of certificates by the school and the closing remarks by Science Coordinator Mr. Michael Guinita.

As the very first Research Congress and Science Fair in Springdale's history, this event is a groundbreaking milestone in the development of scientific acumen within the school. The spirit of innovation grows ever stronger, while the next generation of gentlemen hone their curiosity and intelligence.

This school year bears the unmistakable mark of victory. It is a victory defined not by a path that was easy or straightforward, but by the strength we found in one another. We navigated unexpected challenges, from the shock of a 6.9 magnitude earthquake to the force of Typhoon Tino, along with difficult transitions that tested our structures and school management. Yet here we stand today, gathered as one family. We are a testament that while the world around us may shake, our unity and values remain anchored in Christ.

As PAREF Springdale celebrates its 30th year, we carry the pride of three decades of growth. While we acknowledge the hurdles of this past year, we look back only to measure how far we have come. As Roy T. Bennett writes in The Light in the Heart, “It’s okay to look back to see how far you’ve come, but keep moving forward.” Through every trial, we remained steadfast in our pursuit of excellence.

As SBO President Mateusz Chavez stated, “The virtues instilled in us gentlemen by St. Josemaria guided our pursuit of excellence.” Initiatives such as Project ARISE and EMERGE Donation Drives, along with Quad Re Vibe, reflected the SBO’s determination. These were strengthened by The Guardians of Springdale, support for CVIRAA athletes, and the Pass It On Project, turning obstacles into opportunities for service.

This commitment reached beyond campus, earning recognition from city leaders. SBO officers were honored by Mayor Nestor Archival and Acting Vice Mayor Winston Pepito, with a commendation at the Cebu City Session Hall.

Titans Run 2026 served as the year’s capstone at City di Mare. Despite logistical challenges, the SBO worked tirelessly with partners to ensure the event surpassed expectations.

These achievements showcase the grit and unity of the Springdale gentleman. We emerged from 2025 to 2026 stronger and more united than ever. Bene Omnia Facere, may we continue to do all things well.

PAREF Springdale School, in cooperation with the Cebu City Government and Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, hosted a coastal clean-up drive for this year’s Project SHARE 2026. The activity, which served as the Student Seminar for Grades 10 and 11, was held in Brgy. Mambaling, Cebu City on March 19, 2026.

Project SHARE, which stands for Springdale’s Humanitarian And Relief Efforts, aimed to help the Badjao community located behind the South Road Properties (SRP) Welcome Hill Tower. In addition to the coastal clean-up drive, students also distributed hygiene kits to children in the community.

Prior to the project, students attended a short seminar with Dr. Ian Tabañag, District Staff for Marine Environmental Protection AUX LCDR, where they were introduced to their tasks and the purpose of the initiative. Students also helped pack the hygiene kits shortly after the seminar.

On the day of the relief effort, the students and beneficiary community were paid a surprise visit by Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival while hygiene kits were being distributed. During his visit, Mayor Archival engaged with students and teachers while going around the site, expressing his appreciation to the school community.

“As a school, we are trying to align with the government’s thrust on solid waste management. We also added the distribution of hygiene kits as a way for students to practice the virtue of charity during this time of Lent”, said Mr. Gilfred Rosal, Guidance Counselor of PAREF Springdale, after the activity.

Originally planned as a two-week activity for the Grade 10 batch, Project SHARE was adjusted due to last year’s calamities, resulting in a one-day collaborative effort between Grades 10 and 11.

Nonetheless, the activity still offered many memorable experiences and moments. From cleaning the coast to distributing hygiene kits to meeting the mayor, students were able to serve the community and help make Cebu a better place to live.

PAREF Springdale School marked Father’s Day 2026 with a day focused on faith, family, and competition. Team Anchor and Team Vinta faced off once again, drawing strong participation from students, parents, and teachers.

The day began with Early Bird Registration from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Families arrived in white and blue and earned points for their teams. At 11:00 AM, the community attended a Thanksgiving Mass led by Fr. Manuel “Nonong” Belarmino Jr., who spoke about the role of fathers in guiding families.

Performances followed, led by the Grade 5 band “The Mighty Kids” and the Springdale Dads. The Opening Program featured the Parade of Colors, remarks by Mr. Ric R. Ampiloquio, the Lighting of the Torch by team captains, and the Oath of Sportsmanship.

In the afternoon, bands from Grades 8 to 10 performed, while families joined games that tested teamwork through relays, trivia, and tug-of-war.

Anchor led the major sports events. They won the Father’s Basketball Game, 67 to 48, and the Alumni Game, 73 to 49. They also secured a 1- 0 win in football. Despite this, the overall standings stayed close due to earlier events such as Larong Pinoy, SportsFest, and the Pre Father’s Day Games.

The program ended with dance presentations from Grades 1 to 9, each representing different countries, followed by the Community Song, “Wavin’ Flag.”

In the final tally, Team Vinta claimed the overall title through steady performance across events. The celebration showed strong participation and a united Springdale community.

More than just a competition, Father’s Day 2026 cemented the spirit of Springdale’s mission to strengthen family life and honor fathers as primary educators in our lives.

As the program came to an end, one message stood out: beyond the results, the day's true victory was the unity of the Springdale community.

Even a week after Father’s Day 2026 drew to a close, the spirit of gratitude and celebration fills the air. Yet, there were a few surprises left for those who worked behind the scenes, as the fruits of their labor.

The SBO was the first to take the stage, overlooking the quadrangle that they brought to life through the Quad Re-Vibe. Their president, Matthew Chavez, thanked all the sponsors and benefactors present for their donations. With the completion of Phase 1, the SBO introduced Phase 2, where everyone is free to donate towards planters that will liven up the space for future generations.

The Grade 3 Parent Coordinators (PCs) and the teachers of Springdale followed the student council, and were recognized for their invaluable contributions to the success of the event. Their dedication ensured that every part of the celebration ran without a hitch, creating a wondrous centerpiece for the school’s 30th anniversary.

From planning to ex*****on, they collaborated together to organize the program, guiding students in preparing heartfelt dances that honored fathers on a global scale. They also handled sponsorships and resource management, ensuring sufficient support and materials for the event. Their coordination covered every detail, from logistics to parking, resulting in a memorable experience for both students and parents.

The recognition and applause given to these people during the celebration was a well-deserved tribute to their commitment and hard work. More than just organizers, these men and women became the backbone of the school through their actions. They embodied the spirit of community, which will continue for decades to come.

This announcement has been a long time coming, especially for Springdale’s 30th anniversary—a momentous occasion for students, parents, and educators alike. Anchor and Vinta have fought tooth and nail for every single point, from Larong Pinoy to Sportsfest, with both houses showing tenacity, grit, and determination to come out on top.

Will Vinta continue their hot streak, or will Anchor finally reclaim their lost crown? This is the pinnacle of three decades filled with victories and losses, coming down to the absolute wire. Now, as the event comes to a close and Mr. Ric Ampiloquio takes the stage, the scores are in.

The winning house for this year is… 𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐀! While their rival won all the major events, the boat weathered the storm and prevailed in the end.

With a new decade on the horizon, there are still plenty of twists and turns ahead in this competition, as both houses look forward to the next chapter of rivalry and school spirit.

A heartwarming Community Song brought the celebration to a meaningful moment during the Father's Day program at PAREF Springdale School last March 15, 2026, following a series of energetic dance presentations from the different grade levels.

Students from each grade first showcased their talents through prepared dance performances, filling the venue with excitement and applause from families and guests. Families proudly watched their sons perform, creating a lively and festive atmosphere throughout the program.

After the final dance presentation, the celebration transitioned into the Community Song titled “Wavin’ Flag.” The shared musical moment symbolized unity and appreciation for fathers, who play an important role in guiding and supporting their families.

The song served as a touching highlight of the Father’s Day event, transforming the hall into a scene of togetherness as voices from across the Springdale community sang in harmony.

Through the dance presentations and the concluding Community Song, the event reinforced the values of gratitude, family, and community that remain central to the mission of PAREF Springdale. The program concluded on a meaningful note, leaving a lasting impression on students, parents, and guests alike.
