Mrs. Erlinda Dael, DepEd Supervisor for English of the Division of Misamis Oriental, disclosed that only those who won the first four places in the division level will qualify to participate in the Regional Schools Press Conference. Thus, only three students from SJA will qualify to the regional competition: Nyssa Angela Jabonga and Kathleen June Lignes, both from the elementary level, and Lyndie Mae Taneo for the secondary level.
This year’s gathering of campus journalists had the theme: “Campus Journalism as a Catalyst for Change: Achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.” There were around 88 public and private elementary and secondary schools in Misamis Oriental and close to 1,300 participants all over the province.
As School Director and Moderator of the school paper, this writer remarks: “It was an improved performance of the SJA students as compared to last year’s participation of our school in Opol, Misamis Oriental. We got a big leap from last year’s three awards only which did not even qualify to the regional level. It was indeed a good finish.”
The Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) will be held in one of the schools in Iligan City on November 18-20, 2010.
