Participated by more than nine hundred students, the Students’ Activity Day 2016 organized by the Council of Leaders was held last September 26.

Students designed their floats to represent their organizations and programs for the motorcade. The floats toured the nearby municipalities including Tuy, Nasugbu, Lian and Calaca as facilitated by the faculty members and administrative staff.

Each had their own way of enjoying the motorcade. Some brought large speakers for loud music while others beat drums that made the parade lively. Some students found joy eating as they proudly stood on the truck and wave from time to time to spectators.

After the motorcade, both the SHS and college students enjoyed the booths raised by different organizations like Kilabooth, the student’s version of a horror house; Romansarap Kbar, a videoke bar that also serves snacks and beverage; Dare booth, for truth or consequence game; Movie booth, a classroom cinema; Marriage booth; 3-point Shoot Out and many other interesting stalls.

Some students were able to apply their business skills in handling their booths and assisting their student customers. The event did not only showcase the students’ creativity in raising and designing their booths but also showed their great sense of responsibility in maintaining a peaceful and fun environment all throughout.

“I was curious about the activity day. I heard from some college students that it was fun and tiring at the same time. I enjoyed the parade and was eager to see the different booths. I also saw how organized the students were and how they helped each other to raise funds. It was indeed a great day”, STEM student, Claudine Batimana commented.

This year’s Students Activity Day was a joint event between the Senior High School (SHS) and college students of STI College Balayan and was held yearly to promote camaraderie among students.
