Pasay City National Science High School held “Cursum Perficio: The Work Immersion Orientation” on November 19, at the school gymnasium, aiming to prepare Grade 12 students for real-world experiences through their upcoming Work Immersion program.

The event began with an icebreaker activity, followed by opening remarks from Work Immersion Teacher Mrs. Maria Leonora Luisa Angeles.

Guest speaker Ms. Kiana Isturis, LPT, presented an overview of what work immersion is, what to expect, what to prepare, and a summary of her talk.

She ended her presentation with a quote: “Make the most out of the experience and enjoy the process of learning.”

A takeaway session allowed students to reflect on the talk, followed by a performance by Mekylla Villapaña.

Supreme Secondary Learner Government Grade 12 Representative Anica Victoria closed the program by sharing principles for success: curiosity, stepping out of comfort zones, diligence, humility, and bringing out the best in others.

The orientation concluded with a photo opportunity.

Meanwhile, during the afternoon session, parents participated in their own orientation. Discussions focused on the designated work areas and the target start date, which is December 7, 2024.

An open forum followed, where many parents from the batch raised questions and sought clarifications. Mrs. Angeles addressed these concerns, primarily emphasizing the safety of students during their work immersion.
