The recently concluded Mr. and Ms. SGEN (Southville Global Education Network) was a huge success. This year, the contest

was participated by the 6 high schools of the different SGEN schools, namely, Southville International School and Colleges,

Stonyhurst International School Malarayat and Batangas, South Mansfield College, Southvillle Foreign University and SEED

Academy. The candidates of SISC were Alexa Therese Derpo of Grade 10 and Sancho Calderon of Grade 11.

Mr. and Ms. SISC exuded poise, confidence and wit. Their answers to the question and answer portion earned a thunderous

clap from the audience.

The question asked was:

“If you will be given a magic wand that has the power to change or improve something in your school, what would you

change or improve and why”?Alexa: The way people view themselves because God sees us as beautiful people and we should see ourselves as that.

Sancho: I will change people’s hatred into love because love is the strongest thing in the world.

Our very own Mr. and Ms. SISC further shared that the experience gave them the opportunity to develop the 5Cs in them:

Character, Competence, Commitment to Achieve, Creativity and Collaboration.

These are the winners in Mr. and Ms. Teen SGEN 2016:

Mr. and Ms. Teen SGEN 2016- Yñigo Plata and Cardelyn Hernandez- SSIS Batangas

After meeting the adviser of your child in the Parent-

Teacher Conference (PTC) on October 7, 2016, please

find time to meet the sponsor of your child in school. All

Grade 3 up to Grade 12 students have each an assigned

teacher, officer, or staff member who meets with them

regularly and acts as their ardent friend, supporter,

encourager, coach, and guide.

If you don’t know your child’s sponsor, just ask his/her

class adviser who has the class sponsorship list. Let

us collaborate together in making our children grow

towards maturity and inner-directedness.

The PTC schedule will be 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

(following pre-arranged schedule for parents) in

Munich, STAR & Luxembourg Campuses. There will
