T here’s nothing more rewarding than to be appreciated for your dedication to your

craft. Teaching may not be the best paying job in the world or it may not be the

best field for someone to be famous, but it is indeed the most fulfilling job any person

can ever have.

In celebration of World Teachers’ Day last October 4, the SSIS Student Council and

its moderator, Ms. Marriel, put the school faculty in the limelight as real-life superheroes.

All of the teachers had genuine smiles on their faces as they were welcomed with much

love and appreciation. The teachers were made to walk down the red carpet, with joy-

ous cheers of the students.

The highlight of the event was definitely the performances of the Bet on your Teach-

er winners. Ms. Xy, from the ECED department serenaded the crowd with a self-written

song, with Ms. Sasa and Sir Jay on the instruments (keyboard and guitar, respectively).

Continuing the spectacle was Ms. Mayeth, with her exceptional dance moves in her

number with Sir Gab. Last, but definitely not the least, was Sir King’s gold-worthy perfor-

mance of Bruno Mars’ 24k Magic. Each of the teachers who presented did not disap-

point the audience. Indeed, the teachers were grateful to the love and support reflect-

ed on the votes they got in the said activity.

Later that day, the

teachers and staff of SSIS

went out for a fun get-

together for a meal that’s

nourishing to both body

and soul.

It was truly a day

worth remembering. All of

the gifts, kind words, sup-

port, and other gestures of

love and appreciation

made all of the Mentors

(or heroes!) of the Valiant

Knights happy.

S uccess in the classroom doesn’t come from any single thing—it’s

about the right mix of attitude, habits, and effort. Strong study skills

are an important ingredient in this recipe, and they’re very much

learned behavior.

So, as a parent, how can you help your child develop the study skills

they need to achieve academic success—and see benefits beyond the

classroom as well? Here’s some tips to get started!

Create a designated study space for your students. Keep helpful study

supplies on hand in this area. Encourage your child to take ownership over

the area by giving them freedom to decorate, and teach them to neaten

up and organize their desk each night so they’re ready to get to work

when the time comes for the next study session.

Take effective notes. Teaching your child to use active reading strate-

gies—like taking notes or highlighting key themes and passages—is also

very helpful for retention.

Practice for tests. Simply reviewing content before a test isn’t necessarily

the best method to ensure that your child is prepared for an upcoming

test. Instead, encourage them to try more interactive approaches, like

completing practice tests or using flash cards.

Avoid cramming. Studying a little bit of a subject every day is much better

for long-term retention than studying for a longer period of time in a single

day.

Teach your child to ask for help. Teach your child how to bring up chal-

lenges early with a teacher and ask for help—and don’t be afraid to bring

up concerns with their teacher yourself either.

Avoid distraction. Teach your child how to put their computer away and

turn off all other devices that may serve as a form of distraction while

they’re studying. Multi-tasking also takes away from learning, so encour-

age your child to focus on a single subject for a sustained period of time

before moving on to another subject.
