Yes! We're Ready!, Yes! Yes! Yes! We're Ready!

As to the Department of Education, Immersion, 80 hours of working is a requirement for all the Grade 12 students before graduation. Thus, orientations and formal gatherings should be done.

Last January 5, 2018, a Pre-Immersion orientation and Send-off Ceremony of Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School Integrated Senior High School were attended by all the Grade 12 students who are qualified for Immersion.

The pre-orientation program conducted was an overview and deepened discussion of the work immersion process. I am thankful that the school’s initiative went well. I am now aware of the dos and donts when applying a job. I will always be grateful to all the staff of NNCHS for molding me and giving their very best to give me the best education I need.

As a Grade 12 student, I am excited for the 10-day training in the establishment I wanted to be immersed in. Immersion will be a great help to me for this will enhance my skills, grow my knowledge and let me be exposed to the environment I intend to take up in college. It is an honor, as a pioneering graduate of K-12 curriculum, to attend this ceremony.

At exactly 12:00 noon, the Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School gymnasium welcomes all the parents of the apprentices. I was happy that the parents were still able to attend the program on a Friday even though they had some important things to do at home or at work. It was really overwhelming that the faculty of Senior High School made their very best just to explain the inputs and outputs of this training. Seeing my mother come along with other parents gave me mixed emotions. I was very happy and touched by my mother's simple effort which meant a lot to me. For me, the most awaited part of the ceremony was the candle lighting of the students; it is a symbol of letting us students go beyond our academic ability and apply the things we have learned inside the school to our workplace. The light of the candle served as a light of the future; together with our supportive and loving parents, we will have a brighter path as we travel the real world. The gym was also filled with tears and hugs, a sign of students’ grateful appreciation and love to their parents. Everyone is now ready to show that the soon to be graduates of Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School Integrated Senior High School were already equipped in the field of working.

The success of the ceremony was with the combined effort and participation of all the students and teachers. It was indeed a memorable event of becoming a globally competitive individual of the community.
