Student Activity Program

The Student Activity Program gives concrete expressions to all the knowledge, values, and skills learned in the classroom and/or virtual classroom. Its scope covers all the co-curricular and extra-curricular activities of the students. It is designed to meet the spiritual, social, emotional, aesthetic, intellectual, moral, and physical needs of the students in this New Normal. Its importance is seen in the establishment/acquisition of community resources.

The Student Activity Program, in this time of New Normal, continues to provide avenues for the student to:

Imbibe the Salesian spirituality that would guide the young to pursue a relevant presence in the school and the community.
Develop leadership skills in animating co-young people.
Develop relational and animating skills with greater responsibility.
Appreciate and make use of the Community resources.
Develop one’s interests that can be useful in the actualization of self.
Express gratitude to God, the source of all gifts, and offer themselves back to Him with realized gifts and talents.
Meet the spiritual, social, emotional, aesthetic, intellectual, moral, and physical needs of the students.

Youth Groups and Student Organizations

The school recognizes the importance of developing creative and responsible leaders who will eventually assume leadership in their chosen organization. For this purpose, it seeks to encourage the formation of student groups who pursue clearly established common objectives set up along social, cultural, religious, educational, or recreational lines.

Youth Groups are categorized according to the following:

The Religious Youth Groups

In the mind of Don Bosco, religious youth groups are organized for the smooth running of the house. These groups help in establishing an educational and evangelizing system rich in spiritual, moral, physical, social, intellectual, and emotional values.

The Non-Religious Youth Groups

Being a school, the giftedness in the academic and technical fields of the students must also be enhanced. We cannot overlook the human, academic, and technical advancement of the students.

The Interest Youth Groups

Students with other interests may join other youth groups aside from the religious or non-religious youth groups to maximize their giftedness and abilities for the service of the community.

BASIC TRAINING COURSE FOR SCOUT LEADERS

Moncada, Tarlac - September 24, 2023

In a commendable effort to bolster their leadership abilities and community involvement, elementary teachers from the Don Bosco Technical Institute recently participated in a Basic Training Course for Scout Leaders. The three-day program, which took place from September 22 to 24, 2023, was hosted at the Moncada North Central Elementary School and organized by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines - Tarlac Council.

The event brought together a group of dedicated educators from Don Bosco Technical Institute, who ventured to expand their skill set by delving into the world of scouting leadership. This comprehensive training course provided them with the fundamental knowledge and skills required to become effective scout leaders, fostering character development, camaraderie, and the spirit of service among the youth.

Throughout the course, participants engaged in a variety of interactive and educational activities, including first-aid training, knot-tying techniques, outdoor survival skills, and team-building exercises. These hands-on experiences not only equipped them with practical skills but also instilled the values of discipline and responsibility – values that are integral to the scouting movement.

The collaboration between Don Bosco Technical Institute and the Boy Scouts of the Philippines - Tarlac Council exemplifies the commitment of both organizations to nurture young minds and encourage the development of responsible, ethical, and civic-minded individuals.

As the participants return to their roles as elementary school teachers, they are expected to integrate the knowledge and skills acquired during the training into their curriculum, fostering leadership and character development among their students. This collaborative effort between educational institutions and scouting organizations serves as a shining example of how educators are continually working to provide a well-rounded education that goes beyond textbooks and classrooms.

The Basic Training Course for Scout Leaders has not only enriched the lives of the teachers at Don Bosco Technical Institute but also promises to make a lasting impact on the students they mentor, creating a brighter future for the community of Moncada, Tarlac, and beyond.

Participants in the training are the following:

1. Ace Mark Esguerra;

2. Nor Len Salmasan;

3. Andrea Paladan;

4. Ronnielyn Castro;

5. Jhalen Cerbito; and,

6. Eapril Lhyne Lumatao.
