It never ceases to amaze visiting alumni and school guests that Brent International School Baguio has managed to retain most of its unique set-up as a school campus amidst the lush greenery whose growth can be traced through the years.  To this 102 years old National Heritage Site, we happily welcome everyone as we altogether start a new school year.

The campus theme in all Brent Schools for school year 2011-2012 is " Be Loving  and  Compassionate" - a value that has underscored the mission of the School since day one and which definitely continues to  warm and strengthen that special bond within the family and community of Brentonians.  Jesus said, "Whatever good that you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, that you do unto me." (Matthew 25:40).  Year after year, in classrooms and in all school activities and programs,  Brentonians have  manifested this "doing good and reaching out".  May this school theme reach greater heights within the next ten months as we (adults and young ones) take time to recognize  those  opportunities each day  to show our love and care to all those around us, to those in need here and elsewhere, and to our environment!

FROM THE DEPUTY HEAD

On April 21, 2012, when Brent Baguio opened its gates for this year’s annual Medical-Surgical-Dental-Optical Outreach Day, the volunteers were astounded by an overwhelmingly unprecedented number of would-be patients - the biggest community operation that Brent Baguio ever hosted! As early as 6:30am (1.5 hours before the opening of the service areas), at least 75 persons were lined up along Brent Rd leading towards the school gate. In a matter of an hour, at least 400 individuals (in 2 lines) occupied the right side of Brent Rd. By the time the service areas opened, the numbers swelled and patients eventually in 3 lines, waited in an orderly manner for their turn at registration and or screening. Also as a first, the surgery services had to extend until the next day, Sunday, (for half day) because 80 more patients needed attending to; thankfully, the doctor and nurse volunteers continued to provide the much needed surgical/treatment services.

At the end of the day, the records showed that the 2012 Medical-Dental-Surgical-Optical Outreach Day registered 1,381 patients with various services received; the total of various services rendered reached 1,743; moreover, the patients came from 99 different barangays within the city and from 11 barangays outside the city.

The student volunteers performed an admirable job in all the areas assigned them; most impressive to the doctor and nurse volunteers were the student sterilizers who were on their feet the whole day handling their tasks impeccably and efficiently!

This year’s community service day or days definitely continued to be a real learning, experiential, and character-building activity.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

To EVERYONE FOR ONE’S EFFORT, TIME, FINANCES, SPIRIT OF VOLUNTEERISM, AND SIMPLY FOR CARING!!

YOU ALL HAVE TOUCHED LIVES AND INDEED HAVE MADE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE!! GOD’S BLESSINGS ON YOU ALL!!!
