STEC-SHS, Namayagpag sa Public Schools Rescue Olympics 2025

Nag-uwi ng karangalan ang Science and Technology Education Center – Senior High School (STEC-SHS) matapos makamit ang ikalawang puwesto sa Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Quiz Bee kahapon, Hulyo 18, at ikatlong puwesto sa First Aid Relay ngayong araw, Hulyo 19, bilang bahagi ng Public Schools Rescue Olympics na ginanap sa Lapu-Lapu City Rescue/Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.

Sa DRR Quiz Bee, pinatunayan nina Isaac Krissian C. Balansag ng 12-STEM Neuron at Ashkafel S. Cajuban ng 11-HUMSS Weber ang kanilang kahusayan sa mga katanungang umiikot sa kahandaan, pagtugon, at pagbawas sa panganib dulot ng mga kalamidad. Sa patnubay ng kanilang tagapagsanay na si G. Kenn Arsolon, nasungkit ng STEC-SHS ang ikalawang puwesto laban sa iba’t ibang pampublikong paaralan ng lungsod.

Samantala, ginanap ngayong araw ang Basic First Aid Relay kung saan pumangatlo ang koponan ng STEC-SHS. Binubuo ito ng mga piling Boy Scouts at Girl Scouts mula sa Grade 11 at 12 na sumabak sa mga simulated emergency response tasks. Sa pangunguna ng kanilang tagapagsanay na si G. Norwin Amistoso, matagumpay nilang naipamalas ang kanilang kahandaan at kaalaman sa paunang lunas.

Ang mga patimpalak ay isinagawa sa ilalim ng Public Schools Rescue Olympics, isang inisyatibong layong palalimin ang kaalaman ng kabataan sa disaster preparedness at community response. Bahagi rin ito ng paggunita sa National Disaster Resilience Month na may temang "Lokal na Tagatugon: Mga Bayaning Simbolo ng Katatagan at Dedikasyon sa Pampublikong Kaligtasan."

Sa mga tagumpay na ito, muling pinatunayan ng STEC-SHS ang mataas na antas ng kahandaan at pakikilahok ng kabataan sa pagtataguyod ng ligtas at matibay na komunidad.

Ang Kahil na Sumisilip sa Alapaap

Patak ng mga hugis-butil na ulan, humihimlay sa alimusom na samyo ng aspalto, iyan ang madalas nating tanawin mula sa bintana. Nakatitig sa kulay-abong ulap, na noo’y sariwang asul ngunit ngayo’y pinalitan ng makulimlim na langit. Tahimik ang paligid, maliban na lang sa tunog ng mga patak sa kongkretong daanan, kasabay ng katahimikan at kapanatagang unti-unting humuhupa sa damdamin.

Ngunit sa pagdating ng ulan, dala rin nito ang kulog, tila isang nagbabantang pangitain. Paalala ito na ang buhay ay hindi laging payapa, hindi lamang kasiyahan ang dala, at hindi palaging ligaya ang baon. Papatak at papatak ang ulan, maaaring sandali lang o manatili hanggang hapon.

Gayunpaman, nakatakda ring matuyo ang nabasang aspalto. Malito man ang panahon, ang tiyak ay nagbabago ito. Walang taglamig na magpakailanman. Lilipas din ito. Titila ang ulan. Darating ang araw.

‎A Blast from the Past, Making Memories that Last
‎
Marvelous, meaningful, and memorable—these are just some of the words that we can use to describe the Millennium Mingle, the much-awaited acquaintance party held at the Science and Technology Education Center on the 11th of July. With the theme "Resurgence of the Year 2000: Recall, Relive, and Make New Narratives," students and SHS staff were able to demonstrate their dancing abilities.

A total of 11 dance presentations were lit up the campus. The performances were based off of Y2K artists, with each group lighting up the stage even more. But the fun didn't stop there, as the game Human Bingo soon followed. This icebreaker provided students with an opportunity to engage with new people. As it progressed, smiles and laughter filled the room.

The game certainly got students buzzed, and once they successfully completed the task, a formal oath-taking ceremony took place. Both homeroom and organization officers took their pledge, signifying their commitment and dedication to the duties and responsibilities that they must fulfill in their respective positions. This was immediately followed by a salo-salo, a communal meal deeply embedded in our culture as Filipinos. This was integrated into the event as it fostered warmth and unity. As students shared and appreciated each other's company, they departed not only with satisfied appetites but with a profound sense of belonging as well.

Beyond the laughter and games, the celebration cultivated a deeper purpose. By allowing students to interact with their peers, they were able to form connections that would last beyond the school premises. It wasn't merely a party; it was an event dedicated to forging connections and strengthening bonds, helping to prepare students for the school year that lies ahead.

Where Future Bylines Begin

Words are sets of letters, waiting to be formed into a message for the people to feel. Camera lenses present a window into displays of reality. Illustrations reflect what circulates in society. One's voice is a vessel, carrying truths that beg to be free.

MANTALAAN makes use of these creative privileges, providing an outlet to showcase one's proficiency in journalism. Through the recent screening of applicants, aspiring campus journalists were tested and pushed to their wits’ end. Insights and interpretations on the current issues, literary pieces, and editorial cartoons ignited a spark inside the classroom, bringing thrill and anticipation to the aspirants. Venturing into various contemporary topics—being the center of the activity—brought out fresh ideas and interpretations from their minds.

This pursuit turned the place into not just a room for testing, but also a breeding ground for truth-seekers, storytellers, and future torchbearers who uphold truth. This day marks not just a beginning, but a commitment to embody the essence of journalism—to speak truth to power, to amplify the unheard, and to write stories that matter.

Not just that, they were also asked how these organizations could potentially contribute to their future and what they can contribute to their respective organizations.

This episode highlights the importance of a community that uplifts, trains, and lets you explore new things—encouraging involvement and strengthening bonds between STECians, old and new.

Food Security, Top Priority: STEC Kicks Off Nutrition Month 2025

TODAY — The Science and Technology Education Center (STEC) officially launched Nutrition Month 2025 with a vibrant opening program at the school gymnasium, led by the Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O), formerly known as the Green Thumb Organization.

Anchored on this year’s national theme, “Food at Nutrition Security, Laging Priority! Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin!”, the celebration emphasizes food security as a basic right and a cornerstone of student health and success.

Mrs. Audrey R. Masbang, Senior High School Assistant Principal II, opened the program with an inspiring message—reminding students that caring for both body and mind is essential to academic performance and personal well-being.

Following her remarks, YES-O introduced a month-long lineup of student-centered activities aimed at promoting nutrition awareness and healthy habits. These include a slogan contest, poster-making competition, Nutri-Quiz, NutriTok, and a live food demonstration.

To further engage students, the program featured an interactive trivia game, combining fun with learning as participants tested their knowledge of nutrition facts.

Through this initiative, YES-O reinforces STEC’s ongoing advocacy for student wellness and sustainability. More than just a celebration, Nutrition Month 2025 serves as a call to action—encouraging students to make informed food choices and support a school community where food and nutrition security remain top priorities.

SunStar’s Photojournalism Workshop Captivates Cebuano Campus Journalists

SunStar photojournalist Juan Carlo De Vela concluded the final session of a hands-on photojournalism workshop at the SunStar Cebu Building, Cebu City, on June 28, 2025.

A standout moment of the workshop was the photo walk, where students and professional journalists worked side by side in the field, providing participants with a firsthand look at the realities of photojournalism and a chance to apply their skills in real-time.

Afterward, the SunStar team provided detailed feedback, recognizing areas for improvement and growth.

Among those who attended were students from Science and Technology Education Center - Senior High School (STEC-SHS), Kaisha P. Lauron and Benjch Ashlynn L. Abesia from 11-STEM Marconi, and Ryza Lyn R. Bardos from 12-STEM Neuron, who sought to deepen their understanding of the storytelling power behind every image.

"It was holistic in a way that the Sunstar team didn’t only focus on sharing their expertise, but also on connecting it with ours, making the learning truly reciprocal," said Ryza Bardos, one of the participants.

As the workshop concluded, the students were encouraged to submit their photos for possible publication in future SunStar issues, giving them a platform to continue developing their craft, one photo at a time.
