It’s been 98 years since St. Scholastica’s College, Manila made a commitment towards academic excellence and social responsibility. Thus, as a run-up to the centennial celebration in December 2006, the College Student Council, in collaboration with the Student Affairs Office, is spearheading the St. Scho, School Ko ‘To! Project.
On September 21, 2004, the Student Council, Student Affairs Office, Council of Representatives, Council of Leaders, Student Council Staff, faculty and students together with our Dean of College S. Josefina G. Nepomuceno, OSB formally launched this project.
Our very own music students, Mr. Kits Falcis and Ms. Krystl Buesa sang the invocation, accompanied by pianist Mr. Gringo Villaril. The president of the Student Council, Ms. Lia Lagarde, gave the opening remarks. She emphasized that the objectives of “St. Scho, School Ko ‘to!” are to heighten awareness of the Scholasticans in anticipation of the centennial celebration and to feature the talents, skills, potentials and gifts of the studentry that will build school pride, school spirit and community.
S. Josefina inspired those who participated through her message as a proud Scholastican. She accented the fact that the four walls of St. Scho have been as they were years ago in the same way that the Benedictine values being instilled today are as they were in the past. She also thanked and congratulated those who made preparation for the event and blessed the upcoming activities in line with this project.
On
the same event, the Student Council headed by Lia Lagarde and
April Cabrera, SC Finance
Officer, formally turned-over the proceeds from the previous
concert and fashion show entitled, “Skoolasti_punk04@ssc”.
PhP24,000.00
was given to the St. Scholastica’s Research and Development Fund and
the other
PhP24,000.00 was donated for the improvement
of the Social Hall and for additional facilities
needed by the Student Organization Office.

The three-time WNCAA champions, the College Pep Squad did an extremely entertaining intermission number. Mrs. Lucris Agnir-Paraan, the Centennial Commission Chairperson, gave a short message to the Scholastican community and gave everyone something to ponder about our readiness to be part of the Hundred Years of Grace as proud and committed Scholasticans.
The Student Council presented a video of the activities in line
with the project such as the Scholastican Leaders’ Assembly (SLA),
the Lecture-Series on the Scholastican as a Change Agent, the
Alternative Org Day (AOD), School Ko, Linis Ko and the College
Intrams dubbed as SportsKoolastican. To cap the entire launch, the
Student Council together with Mrs. Rhodora Ferrer, OIC of the
Student Affairs Office and
Ms. Vanessa Guerrero, Assistant to the
OIC-SAO performed
an unexpected closing number wherein they all danced to the tune
of “I like that”! The launch culminated
with singing of the College Hymn.
