The students were given an in depth look at the different departments of CX at its Town Office in Makati City. They also toured various areas of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and Clark International Airport (CIA) terminals. Departments included cargo, wherein handling of CX shipment was observed; and engineering, which taught the various parts of a plane.

A luminous night indeed.
Juniors and Seniors from Batches 2019 and 2020 illuminated the Celebrity Sports Plaza, Quezon City in Lumine, their Junior-Senior Promenade, last February 18.
This year's prom featured a program inspired by the details in renowned Harry Potter series by author J.K. Rowling. The Triwizard Tournament was a new activity for this year’s prom where representatives from both batches competed to be the first to answer a question correctly. The winner’s table got to be the first to eat.
Another first in Lumine is “The Chosen Ones” title awarded to Batch 2020’s Megarth Morillo and Sophia Loriega. The title was accorded to the pair who picked the papers with the words “The Chosen Ones” written on them.
Michael Tee Jr. and Samantha Faye Salazar were crowned as this year’s Prom King and Queen while Bryant Galicia and Ellene Arceo were hailed as Prom Prince and Princess.
