First Holy Communion

🌿 St. Clare Montessori School 🌿 First Holy Communion October 16, 2025 | Antipolo Cathedral Officiated by Rev. Fr. Yohanis Herri Purnomo, OMV The First Holy Communion marks a sacred milestone in the faith journey of our young communicants. It is a moment of deep spiritual encounter — the first time they will receive the Body and Blood of Christ, embracing the love and presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. This blessed occasion reminds us of the words of Christ: “Do this in remembrance of Me.” (Luke 22:19) It is through this act of remembrance and participation that we are drawn closer to God, strengthened in our faith, and called to live in unity, compassion, and love. As our students receive this holy sacrament, may they be filled with grace, purity of heart, and a renewed sense of devotion. May this experience inspire them to walk in the light of Christ, guided by faith and strengthened by prayer, with the support and example of their parents and teachers. Let us join together in thanksgiving and celebration for this meaningful step in their spiritual life — a day of faith, love, and divine encounter that they will carry with them throughout their Christian journey.

Science Awareness Talk

As part of the Science Month Celebration, SCMS and SCSHS invited resource speakers from the Antipolo City Health Office to conduct a series of Science Awareness Talk held last September 18, 2025 at the SCMS/SCSHS Gymnasium. 📌 During the first session, our Grade 9–11 students attended a talk on Drug Abuse Awareness, empowering them to make informed choices and strengthening their knowledge of the risks and consequences of substance use. 📌 On the second part, to further prioritize the health and safety of our learners, a session on the dangers of rabies and dengue were conducted for Grades 3–6 up to the High School level, equipping them with practical knowledge on prevention, first aid, and responsible care for their environment and pets. We extend our deepest appreciation to all the resource speakers who generously shared their time and expertise. 🤎May the valuable lessons from those talks not only stay within our students but also be shared with their families and community—helping to save lives and promote a healthier society. At St. Clare, we remain committed to our mission and vision in forming students who are not only academically competent but also socially responsible and health-conscious citizens, ready to respond to the challenges of today’s world. 🌍✨

As a PEAC-accredited school, St. Clare Science High School attends this orientation yearly to ensure that we remain well-informed and updated on the proper implementation of the ESC, TSS, and SHS Voucher Program. By doing so, we uphold the standards of quality education for both our students and teachers. This event provided valuable updates on program guidelines, highlighting how subsidies and vouchers not only strengthen institutional sustainability but also widen access to education for learners.

Truly, our active participation affirms our commitment to deliver accessible, equitable, and excellent education for all St. Clareans.

📢 ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

Due to the possibility of continued inclement weather, the High School Intramurals will be rescheduled to September 4–6, 2025 (Thursday to Saturday). This adjustment is made to prioritize the safety of both students and teachers. The school gym floor may become moist and slippery when the weather is cold and rainy, posing risks while playing. We cannot compromise safety, which is why the event has been moved to later dates. 👉 Important Reminders for Students: Please bring your sports attire and equipment in preparation for the games. At the same time, also bring your academic materials since, if the weather remains unfavorable and the gym is unsafe to use on September 4–6, we will hold regular class schedule instead. In line with this, September 2–3, 2025 (Tuesday and Wednesday) will follow the regular class schedule. We understand the excitement and anticipation for this much-awaited event as we are too, but we must always put the safety and well-being of everyone as our top priority. Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we work together for a safe and successful Intramurals 2025.

Ninoy Aquino Day

As St. Clareans, we proudly join the nation in commemorating Ninoy Aquino Day. This day reminds us of the courage and sacrifice of Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino Jr., whose unwavering fight for democracy and freedom paved the way for the rights we enjoy today. His legacy challenges us to live as true Filipinos—standing firm in doing what is good, what is right, and what is just.

MALIGAYANG BUWAN NG WIKANG PAMBANSA 2025 🇵🇭

Nakikiisa ang St. Clare Montessori School at St. Clare Science High School sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa alinsunod sa temang “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa.”

Layunin ng pagdiriwang na ito na bigyang-diin ang mahalagang papel ng wikang Filipino at ng iba pang katutubong wika sa bansa bilang mga daluyan ng kultura, kasaysayan, at pagkakakilanlan. Sa pamamagitan ng pagtangkilik, pagpapayabong, at paggamit ng mga ito, naitataguyod ang mas malalim na pagkakaunawaan at pagkakaisa ng bawat Pilipino — saanmang panig ng bansa nagmula.

Ang bawat katutubong wika ay yaman ng ating bayan—tagapag-ingat ng ating katutubong kaalaman, sining, at pananaw sa mundo. Ito’y buhay na pamana na dapat kilalanin, ipagmalaki, at ipasa sa susunod na henerasyon.

Makiisa. Makibahagi. Magsalita para sa Bayan.🇵🇭
