On July 12, 2025, Isidore de Seville Integrated School held its Leadership Training Seminar (LTS), a full-day event from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. designed to equip Isidorean leaders from Grades 4 to 6 with the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to lead the Isidore way.
The seminar opened with an invocation led by Chaniel Alexah L. Olaña, Supreme Elementary Learner Government (SELG) President, followed by the singing of the National Anthem led by Andrey R. Baltazar, SELG Vice President, and Ethan Bryant C. Villegas, SELG Historian. Teacher Cristy Rose U. Umali, SELG Adviser, delivered the opening remarks, followed by a rundown of the day’s schedule presented by Sir Rein Teodoro, the Master of Ceremony.
An inspirational speech was delivered by the Head Teacher, Teacher Anri Jane C. Crisostomo, featuring the importance of having a good character in leadership.
The program then shifted into its first leadership session, presented by Teacher Bren S. Francisco, who shared real-life insights into what it means to be a youth leader, inspired by her experiences as a City of Malolos Federation of Sangguniang Kabataan Vice President.
The participants actively performed their team chants. Then, a series of four engaging games, each paired with reflection periods, allowed Isidorean leaders to explore teamwork, problem-solving, and communication in a hands-on setting. The games were facilitated by respected faculty members including T. Jo Fajardo, PS Lead Teacher, T. Marie Rose Villano, Guidance Coordinator, T. Erika Reyes, Primary Lead Teacher, and T. Mikah Abundo, Intermediate Lead Teacher.
Another leadership talk was given by Teacher Merlyn Villanueva, an appointed Sangguniang Kabataan Treasurer in her barangay, further emphasizing the role of learners in making impactful contributions to their school and community.
The event concluded with the awarding of certificates to participants and speakers, presented by Dr. Archie J. Gaspar, CHRA, the School Principal. In her closing remarks, Teacher Archie left inspiring words, “For you to have the power to shine, you must first have the power to love.”
The Isidore LTS proved to be a meaningful and transformative experience, strengthening the school’s mission to mold not only academically excellent learners but also future leaders of character and purpose.
