The fully-operational Gym, which had its soft blessing last August 14, is equipped with Taraflex flooring and facilities for various sports, namely, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and table tennis. Inauguration is yet to be held as installation of sound and security systems, ventilating fans, lockers, and the UPIS seal is still to be done.

Funding for the Gym’s fixtures came from the proceeds of the Centennial Fun Run.

Meanwhile, the dining area of the 7-12 canteen was extended to accommodate more students. The 2nd phase of the extension, this time for the food preparation area, is still underway.

The renovation of the Auditorium is now in its final touches with the bidding of seats and securing of permit to install an air-conditioning system still in progress. On the other hand, renovation of the Bulwagan will take some time due to issues regarding the preservation of the invasive tree.

Roofing and concreting of the pathwalk connecting the Academic Building and Narra Wing has begun.

Health and PE week, ipinagdiwang

Idinaos ng UPIS Health and P.E. Department ang kanilang taunang Health and P.E. week noong Pebrero 10-13.

Pormal na sinimulan ang Health and P.E. week sa pamamagitan ng isang joint flag ceremony ng UPIS 3-6 at 7-10 kung saan kinilala ang bawat varsity team ng UPIS. Binigyan din sila ng pagkakataon upang makapaghikayat ng mga bagong miyembro.

Sa hapon ng parehong araw, isang Zumba Session na ginanap sa Basketball Court ang dinaluhan ng mga Varsity members at ibang mga estudyante. Ito ang nagsilbing fundraising activity ng departamento upang tulungan ang dating guro na si Prof. Zalamea.

Noong ika-11 naman ng Pebrero ay nagkaroon ng Nutrition Talk para sa mga guro at staff na pinangunahan ng nutritionist at dietititan na si Prof. Manalo.

Isinagawa naman noong ika-13 ng Pebrero ang Varsity Night, na siyang nagsilbing pagtatapos sa buong linggong pagdiriwang. Ito ay dinaluhan ng mga Varsity Members at ng kanilang mga Coach. Ang gabing ito ay kinatampukan ng talumpati ng mga panauhing tagapagsalita, sina Diego Dario, dating miyembro ng UPIS Junior Maroons, at Jaime Mejia, dating Team Captain ng UPIS Junior Track and Field Team. Nagbigay din ng maikling talumpati ang mga Coach at ipinakita ang Audio-Visual Presentation ng bawat team. / Raine Abaya

Para sa aming mga guro sa Health at PE...


UPIS muling nagsagawa ng earthquake drill

Muling nagsagawa ng earthquake drill noong Huwebes, Hulyo 19, sa UPIS 7-10 building. Nilahukan ito ng mga guro at estudyante mula grado 3 hanggang 10.

Ito ay isang proyekto ng Health and PE department na naglalayong maihanda ang mag-aaral, mga guro, at mga staff sa oras ng sakuna at mabawasan ang mga masasaktan sa pagkakataong ito’y magaganap na.
Naging hudyat ng pagsisimula ng drill ang pagtunog ng bell sa ganap na ika-11:20 ng umaga.

Matapos ito, tumungo ang lahat sa soccer field at muling hinintay ang bell na magiging tanda na pagbalik sa kani-kanilang mga silid.

Naging matagumpay ang nasabing drill bunga na rin ng aktibong partisipasyon at pagpapakita ng kaalaman ng mga estudyante at guro. ● nina Shari Oliquino at Nina Leis
