A Lecture
Series covering the theme “Revisiting the Social Thrust of SSC” of
“St. Scho, School ko ‘to” project was recently re-launched by the
Student Council in cooperation with the Student Affairs Office
last September 9, 2005 at the Sr. Caridad Barrion Hall. The topic
discussed was “Ecological Crisis” with Sr. Aida Velasquez, OSB as
resource speaker.
To
contextualize the lectures, Sr. Mary Vincent Feliciano, OSB,
Vice-President for Academic Affairs, gave the students an overview
of the school’s thrust. She stressed that Scholastican Education
is committed to Social Transformation and as a socially-oriented
school; she believes that Scholasticans should be aware of what is
happening to society and the environment. She challenged the
students to be agents of change and active contributors in the
preservation and protection of the environment.
The lecture
ended with the closing remarks of Ms. Katleya Quijano, External
Vice-President of the Student Council. Other topics lined-up for
the Lecture Series are “Gender Inequality” and “Economic Justice”
to be held during the second semester of this school year.
