We proudly celebrate our Grade 12 student innovators’ brilliance, creativity, and hard work as they competed in the International Creativity and Innovation Award (ICIA) National Selection – Visayas.

The high-profile competition challenges young minds to create innovative solutions for real-world issues, prompting critical thinking, teamwork, and significant social impact. Our engagement in this competition is in consonance with our purpose of developing globally competitive, caring, and forward-looking students who aspire to serve others by being innovative.

We take pride in commending Team Mana (Princess Anne T. Auditor, Clair Princess Jamzelle D. Elizalde, and Pierre Ellyce L. Lim) and Team Blue InnoVision (Avery C. De La Cruz, Paola Zyrene C. Cosido, and John Reymund J. Areglo) for their outstanding success.

Both groups received Silver Awards in their own categories at the national round held on February 1, 2025, at Silliman University. Their determination and dedication even took them through the international scene at Ho Chi Minh City on April 27, 2025, as Team Mana garnered a second Silver Award, while Team Blue InnoVision gave us pride with a Gold Award.

We also send our sincerest appreciation to our teacher chaperones, Ms. Nina A. Villamor, Mr. Francis Maximilian Ilagan, and Mr. Danilo Dillo, for leading and guiding our student delegates through this process. These successes remind us of the strength of youth-led innovation and the transformative power of developing minds that dream, design, and deliver for the common good.
