Last October 17, the Basic Ed Student Council, in collaboration with the IB Student Council and several student-led clubs, launched the first face-to-face School Spirit Week since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
With the theme of “Rendering Reunion through Recreation,” the 2022 school pride celebration included recreational activities for both HyVOLT and VOLT students, alongside multiple mufti days in commemoration Anniversary.

An onsite School Spirit Week 2022 arrived after two entirely online celebrations in the midst of COVID-19 quarantine restrictions, hosted by the Student Council and a coalition of student-led clubs respectively. Previous Spirit Weeks were traditionally headed by the Student Council of the time.
The celebration set off with a SISC-themed mufti day. The week’s first day had students dress up in Southville’s school colors: red, green, and purple.
On the second and third days of Spirit Week, the Student Councils set up seven activity booths around the Luxembourg Hall grounds: Marriage Booth, Jail Booth, Cup Pong, Board Games, Photobooth, Shoot Ur Shot, and Switch it Up. These activities were accessible to onsite students during their break periods and dismissal.
Friends and couples lined up for the Marriage Booth that allowed for mock matrimony ceremonies between Monarchs. It was one of the most well-participated booths, especially for junior high school students. Another booth that attracted a number of students was the Jail Booth, where participants were trapped in a cell and showered with water at the insistence of their peers.
