2 Learners 100% in Math Evaluation Administered by APSA

Two elementary learners, Alvin Lyndon Sy and Reine Amabel Jaruda, grades III and IV respectively, received awards at CSB Hotel International Conference Center, Manila on 12 November for achieving the highest score possible (100%) in the standard Mathematics Assessment given by the Asian Psychological Services and Assessment in February 2010. Two years ago, the same award was given to Kevinn Friedrich Chan, now a sophomore.

A Major breakthrough @ IloPRISAA Zeth, Alyssa Won in Current Events

For years, Current Events (or General Information) contest had been ISA’s most dreaded (read: hated) one among PRISAA’s academic contests. Aside from the harrowing low scores even the top three winners would usually earn, the ‘triviality’ of the answers sought from the contestants was another reason which made ISA decide to place G.I. at the bottommost of its priority.
Not this time. The 4-man strong Social Studies Division under Mr. Rodgen Jabor seriously decided to test the water, and bet its fortune on Zeth Rodario Bebit and Alyssa Faith Rivero, grade 6 and first year ISAers respectively. Apparently, the team did chart its course just fine.

Zeth did not only win the first ever award in the elementary category of this event held at Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus (CSCJ) on 18 November, he brought home the highest award, a gold medal.

Alyssa, on her part, stretched the nerves of every spectator to the limits by engaging her third year opponent from Iloilo Central Commercial High School to the clincher round, just to give way on the fourth question (total of five). Alyssa finished second, a great feat by any measure. The high school category was held at CSCJ on 22 November.

ISA bags 3 awards in PRISAA Cultural-Literary

Last November 18–24, ISAers joined in Elementary English declamation, vocal solo pop, High School English oration, English declamation, and for the first time, sent contestants to the Philippine folk dance and dance sports competitions in the 45th IloPRISAA 2010 cultural-literary-musical events held at Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus campus.

Francis Noel Chua, a 4th grade learner representing ISA both in English declamation and vocal solo pop contests, won third place in declamation. With his wonderful rendition of the song entitled “Ngayon”, Francis was ranked 4th out of 29 contenders in vocal solo pop.
John Earvin Salcedo, a senior, won first place in high school English Oration.
In the Dance Sports held at ICCHS-Ledesco last 23 November, John Matthew Tan and Unna Isabelle Fernandez, joining the modern standard category, con-quered the dance floor as they dance to the rhythm of the waltz, tango, foxtrot and quickstep and made it to the 3rd place.
	Also novice to dance sports, Trisha Henriette Chavez and Christian Angelo Cabangbang competed in the Latin category, though failed to win an award, their energetic showing had left a trail as they showed their awesome dance moves to the beat of cha cha, rumba, samba and jive.
