  • FOREWORDFor centuries, mankind has quenched its insatiable thirst for knowing the unknown through discovery. Equipped with specialized tools and navigation expertise, we embarked on special journeys across the whole wide world in a vigorous search to experience the yet-to-beexperienced. The well-awaited return to onsite classes mimics these great expeditions of yesteryear. After over two years of virtual education, we Monarchs have become the pioneers of traversing an alien land: the great outdoors. Voyages into strange and unfamiliar territory have now taken the form of walking down campus corridors — the notebooks and backpacks as our travel gear.

  • FEATURES22 BEFORE & AFTER ELECTIONS: GET TO KNOW SOME OF THIS YEAR’S STUDENT COUNCIL CANDIDATES by Juan Lobien and Martha Pinca The SISC Student Council glues the Southville community together by making Monarchs' opinions and ideas heard. Yearly, they spearhead schoolwide activities and events, and encapsulate citizenship and leadership to the student body. As the school year commences, Monarchs need to elect the next set of leaders to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

The event was a success with its objective and I’m sure the students, teachers, and even coaches relished the competition.”

  • FEATURES37 Words are incredibly sacred and important. Our fundamental beliefs form in our early years, with our family’s perspective and attitude towards certain subjects being the building blocks of our own belief system, helping us mold and form ideas and thoughts of our own as we mature. They can range from positive (empowering, optimistic), to negative (bashful, demotivating), and everything in between. Once they’ve been introduced to us, they slowly become ingrained into our minds and dig deeper the more we are exposed to them without question. Soon they become our dominant thoughts— like a record playing on loop in the back of our minds.
  • FEATURES38 As seen in the example, these negative thoughts bring about nothing good and only diminish our self-worth. We give up on what we truly wish for, to avoid danger and settle for the expected. But why would you let yourself get beaten up? Why would you stop believing in yourself because others don’t?

RETURN OF THE MONARCHS: SISC OPENS AY WITH AWAITED HOMECOMING

By Matthew Cabiles

On a damp but sunny Wednesday morning, tenth grader Kim Min Young (Charis) stood eagerly waiting by the Luxembourg Campus gate. Dressed in Hanbok, traditional Korean clothing, she was one among seven national attire-clad volunteers that were given a simple task: welcome and usher in any student that enters. That entrance soon overflowed, a first in over two years.

Charis joyfully observed what unfolded — students rushed to their old friends, some hugged, and all were simply catching up in a place where they always used to meet. All this happened while she greeted students and led reconnected friend groups to have their pictures taken at a photo booth. “I was very touched and I felt happy for them because . . . all students were just reuniting with their old friends and meeting their online classmates in real life,” she said.

and International Baccalaureate (IB) students physically returned to school for the opening of Academic Year 2022-2023 last August 31, 2022, marking the start of full-scale Hybrid Virtual Online Learning and Teaching (HyVOLT).

After over two years of online learning, the newly reopened Luxembourg and Tropical Campuses hosted friendly reunions between fellow Monarchs and day one orientations to the limited face-to-face setup. Meanwhile, those who opted to study via Virtual Online Learning and Teaching (VOLT) joined class Google Meet calls in sync with the oncampus discussions.
