To prepare for a new school year, the Faculty and Staff of Isidore de Seville Integrated School came together for the Collaborative Development Activity held from June 3 to 5, 2025, at Bhriella’s Farm in Longos, Calumpit, Bulacan. This activity served as a meaningful time for the Isidore team to realign their goals, strengthen relationships, and renew their shared commitment to the school’s mission and vision. 

Throughout the three-day activity, both teaching and non-teaching personnel were given space to reflect, share stories, and express their hopes and aspirations for the upcoming academic year. With ready hearts and open minds, they engaged in a blend of reflective conversations and spirited team-building exercises that developed trust, laughter, and a sense of unity that goes beyond the workplace.

Dynamic games and challenges also sparked joy and healthy competition between two teams, Team Red and Team Blue. Both poured their energy, creativity and strategy into every activity. In the end, Team Blue was awarded the overall winner, but every participant left the place with something far more valuable, that is, renewed connections, mutual encouragement, and shared joy in working together. 

One of the most uplifting moments of the activity was the inspiring messages delivered by Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, the School Principal. With sincerity and wisdom, Teacher Archie reminded everyone of the deeper calling behind their work, the call to serve with faith, lead with purpose, and strive for excellence in all things. The presence of Sir Jose Ronello Bartolome, Chief Executive Officer, and Teacher Ann Marie S. Bartolome, School Administrator, added further meaning to the activity, as their unwavering support and gentle encouragement reaffirmed the school leadership’s dedication to both the professional and personal growth of their employees. 

Deep gratitude is extended to the hardworking Admin Staff who worked quietly behind the scenes to organize the activities and ensure the safety and comfort of all participants.

As the team returns to their roles with refreshed spirits and a renewed sense of purpose, they are more than ready to welcome School Year 2025-2026, united in mission, strong in faith, and committed to growing together for the good of every learner and the entire Isidore community.
