College and University Advice

Make an appointment today with Mrs. Borgerding, Brent Subic’s college counselor.  Find out about the process and the opportunities available for your students.  Students in Grade 11 should sign-up today – parents and guardians are encouraged to attend!

Please help us to keep the students safe by driving very carefully while near and on campus. Please encourage your children to show pride in their school by wearing the uniform appropriately, getting to class on time and doing their best on each assignment. Please help us to encourage a respect and appreciation for all cultures and creeds, also to further develop a respect for people’s differences and views. During this last quarter, Brent Subic would like to make a strong push for respect, for inclusiveness and for appreciation of differences. Thanks for your assistance.

Wow! What a show put on by Brent Subic.  “The Wiz” was outstanding.  So many people were involved in producing and performing, behind the scenes, costuming and set designing that it would fill up this page with names.  Needless to say – we thank you all for your efforts and energy, time and commitment.  It was wonderfully Wizardly!

Four weeks of schooling remain.  Exams begin on Tuesday May 20 and end on Friday May 23.  Graduation for Kindergarten is on May 23, graduation for our Senior class is at 10am on May 30.  There are many exciting events planned between now and then, please have a look at the calendar and participate. 

Mr. Davis and Mrs. Brooks, the student council faculty representatives, have begun preparations for next year’s new officers.  We would like to encourage parents to encourage their children to run for office.  The campaigning begins on May 12 and continues through May 16.  The elections will be held on May 27 after exam week.

Over the past few weeks, the faculty has been busy finishing up projects and beginning new ones.  17 teachers have completed the English as a Second Language in Mainstream Course.  For 10 Saturdays, these teachers met with an instructor to learn ways in which to teach our students for best possible learning.  Over this past weekend, the upper and middle school faculty embarked on an exciting venture to bring the International Baccalaureate (IB) program to Brent Subic.  Our colleagues from Brent International School Manila visited us to answer our questions and enlighten us on the process.  Our first batch of students who will have the IB option will be our current 9th grade students.  The IB is recognized internationally as a demanding series of courses that further prepares our students for university level course work.  Mr. Oviatt will be running the program here at Brent Subic and will provide more information as we continue this process.  Stay tuned!

We have a few events each year that serve as community builders.  This year’s International Food Festival last March is a good example.  It was a time to get involved and enjoy each others company as well as learn about different cultures and traditions.  We have two events coming up this week that help to build “our” community.  The first is Thursday evening’s band concert, May 8.  Mrs. Davis and students from grade 5-12 perform at 6:30pm.  It is an enjoyable evening to come and listen to our talented students.  Please join us! On Friday and Saturday, May 9-10, Ms. Guerra and Ms. Sepasi are inviting students (grades 5-12), parents and faculty to participate in the third annual badminton tournament.  It is a fun way to mix and get to know “our” community through fun competition.  Please join us!
