Monarchs’ reign commences in pep rally
Former Chelsea Football Club striker James Joseph
Younghusband, sports TV programs host Reema Chanco, and
the Philippine Ultimate Association,the governing body of all
disc-related sports in the Philippines, joined Southville
International School and Colleges (SISC) students, parents,
and teachers in a pep rally to kick off the 2010 athletic season.
Bleachers filled with hundreds of students, varsity team players,
and cheerleaders greeted the celebrity athletes whose presence
is part of a schoolwide effort to promote sports, physical activity,
and school spirit.
Younghusband noted that he hopes he can inspire the students
and athletes “to be the best” when they take part in anything
in life. He went on to explain that being the best means “helping
others become better” for the benefit of the whole and not for
individual glory.
The school’s vision is reflected on its official moniker, the
Monarch, signifying supremacy in academic, extra-curricular,
Younghusband emphasizes team play over individual accolade.
and professional endeavors. SISC students are expected to
live up to their moniker by taking the lead and blazing trails,
innovating, inspiring, and dictating trends that will create a
better world.
SISC primes Juniors for
college career
Calling all parents
of High School I - IV
The High School III classes of Southville International School
and Colleges (SISC) had a Career Mapping Symposium last
August 25, 2010 where they were given career mapping
diagnostic tests that will help them identify which courses to
take in college that match their individual interests, skills, and
aptitudes. Career exploration activities were also conducted
to help the students make the right decisions in the face of
the numerous course offerings and colleges/universities to
choose from. Spearheaded by SISC’s Counseling and
Psychological Services (CAPS), the symposium has a junior
high school audience so when they reach their senior year,
they are prepared to make informed decisions about the careers
they want to pursue. “The sooner young people have the
opportunity to supplement their academic work with career
exploration, the sooner they can focus on a career they likely
will enjoy,” says Ms. Olive Flores, Head of CAPS.
SISC views the relationship it has with its students’
parents and families as a partnership that helps the
students become successful. SISC also knows that
when parents are informed, students benefit. Therefore,
all parents of High School I - IV students are invited to
An Orientation and Get-Together on September 3, 2010,
4:30 p.m., at Gym 1 of Luxembourg Campus. This is a
wonderful opportunity for parents to meet each other and
to meet their teen’s teachers. They will also be oriented
to the school’s academic goals, important policies,
classroom environment and daily activities, and ask
questions or share their concerns. Since the session is
focused on parents, it is strictly a “grown up only”
meeting and no students are allowed. Snacks will be
served.

The Preschool and Grade School Divisions
recently watched Repertory Philippines’ Sleeping
Beauty at Onstage, Greenbelt 1, Makati. The
students had a grand time experiencing the
colorful sets and costumes, the lively music, the
simple dialogue and lyrics, the frenetic movement
and humor of the cast members, and the special
effects. The students also enjoyed immensely
the audience participation portion of the play when
they were asked to perform a charade to help
break the spell of an evil fairy.
The cast, on their part, marveled at how wellbehaved and adorable their audience from SISC

Exam season is here - but motivating your
teenagers to review when they’d rather be
chatting to their mates online or playing on the
Xbox can be an uphill struggle. Here are tips for
getting teens to study - without turning your
home into a battleground:
1. Talk about their ambitions. Ask them
what they want to achieve. Encourage them
was. They noted how the students were very
much into the show - listening intently, and eagerly
participating which show their intelligence.
The cultural show is part of SISC’s goal to expose
students to good art (literature, music, dance)
with the hope that they will keep appreciating it
as they grow up and help them become thinking
and feeling adults.
Make history in

to see the exams as a means to an end for example, if they pass they’ll be able to
go to college, and then they’ll be one step
nearer to their goals. .
2. Give them a break. It’s unrealistic to
expect anyone to study all day without a
break. Ask them to make a review plan,
including short, regular breaks, and show it
to you. (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/woman/parenting/
