CEBU CITY – Childlink founder and school directress Maria Theresa Tio said that having online learning is not a hindrance but noted that many students performed well even if the classes were done online.
Although the school implemented online learning, they continue to have activities just like when the classes were still face-to-face. Being online does not stop them from continuing this practice. The school held various activities to allow them to experience the outside world even if they remain in their homes, she added.
Tio revealed that on December 8, 2021, Grades 9 and 10 students had a fruitful and engaging day during an online cultural exchange activity with high school students from Yokkaichi Maryknoll High School in Japan.
The Linkers were given the opportunity to know about the Yokkaichi High School and various cultural highlights of Japan. In turn, the Japanese high school students were treated to music and poetry performances by the Linkers and watched videos showcasing the Philippines.
Childlink also have plans for more activities during the school year 2021-22. Aside from the activities the school administration will be implementing, the Student Council will also be proposing some activities.
“Every year we really try to come up with new activities, we innovate, try to change something. Every quarter, our Student Council conducts activities approved by the school administration,” Tio said.
Through this practice, she explained that the Student Council develops skills on planning and implementation. Childlink Student Council recently organized various online activities that focused on the interests of the Elementary to High School Linkers.
These activities included the arts, karaoke, dance, and games. All these were intended to promote camaraderie among the Linkers and to motivate the students to participate in different activities of interests.
Meanwhile, Childlink continues to implement community outreach projects. Last week, the school turned over donated items from their students and their families to the Rise Above Foundation Cebu, a non-profit non-government organization that focuses on improving the quality of life for the underprivileged families in Cebu, Philippines.
The donated items included used clothes for children and adults as well as other stuff. There was even a donation for a box full of brand-new toys.
