In a three-day celebration from October 10 to 12, 2025, Saint Theresitaโs School of Tabuk, Inc. honored its 77th year of nurturing faith, resilience, and community service. With the theme โTheresians Living in Synodality as Beacons of Hope,โ students, faculty, staff, the Family Council, and alumni gathered as one Theresian family to commemorate the milestone.
The celebration began with a Doxology led by the Campus Ministry, followed by the Welcoming Remarks from Mr. Felicisimo Felix, Family Council President. The first day kicked off with the Friendship Games, where STS Tabuk athletes faced off against alumni in basketball and volleyball, showcasing both the competiton and camaraderie ingrained into Theresians.
The second day, organized by the Family Council, invited families to come together and slow down from the daily rush of everyday life. After the Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Rev. Fr. Roman A. Macaiba Jr., School Director, Theresians and their families shared in a potluck lunch. A raffle drew cheers and laughs alike from the audience, with participants potentially winning prizes such as a 6-cubic-foot refrigerator, a laptop, and the grand prize of a 50-inch flat-screen TV. Proceeds from the raffle will support Family Council projects aimed at improving the school.
The final day opened with a colorful Costume Parade led by the Uniformed Personnel and the STS Tabuk Drum & Lyre Band. Students from each grade level proudly showcased their themed colors and props, joined by faculty, alumni, and the Family Council in a bright display of unity and school pride.
The program proper began with the Doxology by the teaching staff, elementary students, and student teachers, followed by the Filipinism and School Hymn executed by the Drum & Lyre Band. Their following exhibition filled the air with meoldy and color as majorettes and flaglettes performed.
School Principal Mdm. Thelma S. Parungao then gave her welcoming remarks, expressing gratitude for another year of faith and growth. Following, The High School Interns performed a tadek dance celebrating Kalinga culture.
The Field Presentations by the Theresian students shortly took place after, narrated each by Sir Daniel A. Ao-as and Sir Joey C. Galong. The performances sounded diverse values and messages, from celebrating the unity that comes as YKalingas to remembering the responsibility of being Godโs stewards that stem from being His children.
After the Closing Remarks by Sr. Cecilia Mary Kanickai Samy, School Nurse, everyone joined together for the Finale Dance, โNingas ng Pag-asa.โ
The 77th Founding Anniversary of STS Tabuk was not just a celebration of passing years, but an asserting of the mission to continue being beacons of faith, hope, and service for generations to come.
