Dear Brent families,
The last three weeks have been packed with a variety of activities from all-school celebrations, and the ISAC tournament to projects and field trips in the Lower School. What amazing opportunities for ESLRs learning and development. Here’s sharing some photos and acknowledgments:

The session also covered university admissions vis-à-vis these three pathways from our Guidance counselor, Ms. Almae Caluya. The next two sessions will be on the core courses and IB subject offerings.
6. Thank you to Coach Boy, our faculty, and the support staff team for a successful Field Day on Friday! Thank you to all the parents/guardians and alumni who joined our races or cheered for their house. Congratulations once again to Red House! Let’s look forward to the BISB Cross Country event which is scheduled on March 17, Friday. More photos to come.
7. Well done to our Grade 4/5 and Ms. Kat Moredo for a successful Vivita Pakwan Race! It was a fun avenue for learning and putting into practice what students have learned about forces and motion. It also helped students develop an interest in and appreciation of interdisciplinary connections particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Students built a robotic cart as a group. Parents and faculty also formed their own teams! Thanks to all our faculty volunteers, parents, and the staff support team that made this event possible. Also, it was lovely to have Mr. Dick Robbins, CEO/President of Brent Schools Inc. present at the event.
Our special gratitude also goes to Vivita for partnering with us!
8. Thanks and congratulations to Ms. Ada Peniano and Ms. Shelley Segundo for a successful K/1 trip to the Botanical Garden and Burnham Park area. Our K/1 students’ field trip was in connection to learning about plants and maps.
Thanks to Mrs. Aiza Lopez Emslie, Brent parent, for helping in chaperoning our students. Thanks to our support staff team: clinic/accounting/transport/
We express our heartfelt gratitude to the Brent community and assure you of our unwavering dedication to molding the character of our students and providing an exceptional education. Inspired by our mission, values, ESLRs, and this year’s theme of “Be a responsible community member,” we are eagerly looking forward to the interactive and meaningful learning experiences that await both in the classroom and through community and hands-on events this quarter.
Sincerely,
