Last March 17, 2023, the three winning teams of Eastbridge in the recently concluded provincial academic competition for private schools went to compete in the national level competition held at Juan Sumulong Memorial Junior College in Taytay, Rizal.. The Eastbridge teams composed of Daniel Kurt Quillopas, Stone Yuno Salayo and Zac Andre De Lara for the Math, Daniela Lucia Habil, Marielle Candice Rivera and Markus Jamiel Evangelista for English, and Elisha Marie Cais, Zeph Dela Peña and Alyssa Abigail Habil for Science represented the province of Rizal in the said copetition. Both the Math and the English teams went home with the gold and the Science team with silver.
Eastbridge Math Team has been the team to beat in the these competitions for many years. Before the pandemic, when the contest was only up to the regionals, Eastbridge was the last title holder. This year is the first time that the level went from the town level, to the provincial level and finally to the national level. This year's win for the Math Team makes it a back-to-back NAPSPHIL champion.
We thank the Lord for blessing our three teams with these winnings, proving once that the kind of standard the school offers to its students can match the best out there.
One of the desired goals of Eastbridge School is to instill the idea on the parents that the education of their kids are not the sole responsibility of the school. Being in the academe for twenty years now, the administrators of the school deem that this is a necessary element for a successful learning experience especially in the preschool level. For what is education if not the preparation for life? A person who is trained to only prepare for work in adulthood has only prepared for half of what life is all about. Others may even argue that most of life is interaction with other people. For isn't work even also mostly comprised of this? Thus, it is of the utmost importance that the training that the kids get in a learning institution must touch on this major element.
