After the culminating activity, we, the HUMSS students were very thankful and blessed that we've made everyone impressed and proud of what we've done during the culminating activity. And then, everyone starts cleaning their different areas and did everything that we have to do.

Culminating Activity Reflections

We, the Humanities and Social Sciences students are required to create a culminating activity regarding our 8 specialized subjects which is creative writing, creative non-fiction, community engagement and solidarity, DIAS, DISS, politics, introduction to world religion and mega trends in 21st century instead of work immersion.

We prepared this activity for more than 3 months, but honestly, 3 months was too short for us to prepare everything since we have a lot of preparations and practices to be done before the day of our culminating activity. We encountered a lot of struggles and difficulties through out the 3 consecutive months that we have. Happy, sad, anger, stressed, nervous , excitement and many more emotions we felt before, during and after our culminating activity. We developed our skills , abilities and creativity just for this activity since it requires a lot of it as well as efforts and patience for it to be done successfully. I could say that this activity is really helpful in developing not only our skills and abilities but also our personality and characteristics as a person. In this activity, we learned how to work hard, collaborate with others especially to our group mates, we discover our hidden talents and most of all, it makes us more in love with love with our strand.

Culminating activity might takes a lot of money, efforts, and hard works but it will surely give you a great results as it helps you to developed your skills, abilities, and confidence. It will also give you a lot of learnings and discoveries.

➤ The K-to-12 Curriculum were required to those Humanities and Social Sciences Academic Strand that instead of having a Work Immersion the students should have their Culminating Activity. The Culminating Activity had the specialized subject of the Academic Strand, Humanities and Social Sciences that helped those people understand more about what Humanities and Social Sciences are. Even though the Culminating Activity is just one day we prepared it so much. Every group had their specialized subject that should be more defined in terms of making booths for exhibition. On the day of our Culminating Activity I felt so nervous because I knew there are lots of people will be watching, but I knew that this activity will helped me building my self-esteem. As part of our Culminating Activity the selected students must performed a different danced festival that belong into our specialized subject the Introduction to World Religion, the said festival danced are Sinulog from Cebu, Bharatanatyam from India, Singkil from Mindanao, Hola from Hawaii, and Balse from Katimugang Luzon.

➤We made a history last February 7, 2019. Vallehermoso National High School Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences students had the first ever Culminating Activity. Instead of having a Work Immersion we are required to have a Culminating Activity and it’s only for our strand. When we first knew that we won’t have a Work Immersion but we must come up with this activity, we felt rad and reacted negative because we don’t have any idea of what it is all about. It’s just a one day event, but our preparation took for 4 months. That four months was very busy. The month of January, for me that’s the busiest month as we prepared for our Culminating Activity because even Saturday’s and Sunday’s, we need to come back to school and meet up with our group. We need to comeback for our booth, for the practices of dances like Sinulog, Banatanatyam, Singkil, Hola and for the fashion show. It’s February, the tense and excitement never leave us. So as the day of Culminating Activity came, we’re so nervous and excited. It’s a whole day event, there’s a visitors slowly coming at the morning just to visit our booths and in the afternoon, the main program starts. That’s one of the memorable day happened in my entire life. While we are performing our different tasks, they can’t stop clapping their hands, they can’t stop smiling and it’s obvious that they are enjoying what we are doing. I felt very blessed. They appreciated it, I’m so overwhelmed of course when the teachers said that they really like our presentation and they congratulates us for making it successful and historical. Every single appreciation made me emotional honestly, I’m so proud to all of my classmate for giving the best of their best. The teamwork, dedication, and the love of each other is there and that’s the spirit, I loved in this batch.

➤In our Culminating Activity I learned a lot like you need to work hard, and I learn that we need to manage my time and be creative and cooperative. And I believe that the task become easier if you work together with your team. And also I learned how to handle any kind of attitude.

-Blanca Khalel

➤ Culminating Activity is a very extraordinary and unforgettable moment that I experienced. It is not just an easy activity. Because we experience a lot of new things like planning and brainstorming for what is the kind of booth we build. I belong to Creative Writing group which is one of the specialized subject of Humanities and Social Sciences(HUMSS) strand. And I am glad that I do because I knew that my group mates are all cooperative and very active. Culminating Activity needs a lot of effort, patient, and the most hardest thing to do during the preparation for this activity is time management but then I`ve learned on how to manage time. In Culminating activity I`ve also learned on how to budget money. then the day before Culminating activity we are all busy in preparing and cleaning the Gymnasium, while the other are busy practicing different cultural dance. Finally, February 7,2019 this is the day of our Culminating activity, we felt nervous and a little bit excitement. The event ended up successfully because we heard positive comments from the people and also from the school heads.

➤ Last February 7, 2019, we had our first ever “Culminating Activity”. For me, this program considered as the unforgettable and momentous event of Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students, because we exerted much time, efforts, money, patience and other things just to make this event a successful one. By this activity, I learned lessons that I can apply in my everyday living as well as to my future life. Like, I learned how to be responsible enough, how to give value on someone`s effort, how to use/utilize the time wisely, using money for important matter even a small amount but there was great outcomes. Having patience is one of the important traits that we need to develop, because imagine, the preparation for this activity was on October and it happened February this year. For almost 3 months of preparation, mission successfully accomplished, and if without patience all of these will turn to nothing. Also being active is important, because it makes things easier and faster. Being resourceful and creative are also needed because in a simple way, we can make things different. And lastly, the significance of unity to people, because having unity makes everything successful and at the same time in unity, we are showing our love and respect to each other that make us feel the real fulfillment of the activity.

➤We made history last February 7, 2019, as we the Humanities and Social Sciences Grade 12 students had a first ever Culminating Activity. Instead of having a Work Immersion, our strand have to deal with this activity. We are shocked and reacted negative when we heard about it. But as the months running, I realized that having this kind of activity will helps us to build more friendship, to think critically, to help one another, to have teamwork, to work hard, and to build a self- trust. Before, during, and after the activity, I realized a lot. I realized that I had the best section ever and I don’t know how to forget them. We’ve gone so far and faced difficulties as one, and we know that there’s more coming. So now, we’re still here to support and help one another. We will be together at April 5, walking in the red carpet with our parents at our arms, wearing our “toga” or walking slowly to the stage and receive our diploma, smiling and hugging our parents which who’s always at our side and never leaves us.
