Warm greetings to the Brent community,

As we move forward into another busy week of the semester, we take a moment to look back with gratitude on the many meaningful activities that took place on campus and beyond. Thank you to the students, faculty, staff, parents, and community members whose efforts continue to make Brent a vibrant place of learning, friendship, and growth.

Acknowledgements (March 9–14)

We thank the many members of the community who participated in last week’s Parent–Teacher Conferences, which provided meaningful opportunities for families and teachers to reflect together on student progress and growth.

Our appreciation also goes to the Ganza Team with Bb. Nelly Ann Doliente, for organizing the individual and all-school photo sessions for the yearbook.

A very special acknowledgement goes to the entire Brent community for ISAC Season 3. Welcoming fellow international schools to Brent Baguio is always a significant moment in the school year, and the campus came alive with athletic competition, camaraderie, and school spirit. We extend our sincere thanks to our student-athletes and coaches, who represented Brent with determination, sportsmanship, and pride. We are also deeply grateful to Ms. Nicolai Carino, Athletics Coordinator and our faculty, departments, staff, PTA, ISAC committee, student volunteers, and parents who worked behind the scenes to prepare facilities, organize schedules, welcome visiting teams, and ensure that the event ran smoothly. Hosting ISAC is a major undertaking, and it was made possible through the collective effort and hospitality of the Brent community.

Events such as these remind us of the importance of teamwork, resilience, and friendship across schools and cultures—values that continue to shape the Brent experience. Here’s sharing the ISAC Video
