Week of September 29 – October 4, 2025

Dear Brent Community,

We close this week with gratitude for the many activities and milestones that brought our community together:

Brent Cup Season 1 was a spirited success, showcasing talent, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Thank you to Ms. N. Cariño, Ms. Dana, Mr. Mahi, Coaches, and all who supported the games, and to our PTA and Grade 11 class for their enthusiastic food sale participation throughout the day.

Career Week 2025
We are excited to be celebrating Career Week 2025 with the theme “Beyond Jobs – Careers that Make a Difference.” This year’s activities encouraged our students to see work not only as an occupation, but as an opportunity to inspire, serve, and contribute to the community.

• Workplace Wonders (Sept. 22 – Oct. 10): ongoing (with some make up dates due to class cancellations). Updated schedule here.

• Career Week Assembly (Sept. 24): Our special guest speaker, Ms. Akiko Thomson-Guevara—three-time Olympian, Olympian for Life, and President of the Philippine Olympians Association—shared her inspiring story at Chapel. Parents and community members were warmly invited to attend. You can access Ms. Akiko’s slides through this link.
  Career Dress-Up Day (Sept. 25): Students joined in the fun by coming to school dressed as the careers they aspire to. House points were awarded for every student and faculty member who participated.

• Visit this padlet for photos of all Career Week activities so far. This will be updated as we go along.
