Ganza Moments

Congratulations, Lions! Your dedication and effort made this Christmas season at Brent truly special, filled with remarkable performances that highlighted the true spirit of the holiday.

From the Lower School’s “Little Drummer Dude” production to the Early Learning Center’s “The Best Christmas Present Ever!” and the Annual Christmas Concert, the showcases were a testament to the incredible talents of Brent students. Whether through acting, singing, dancing, or playing instruments, students from Nursery to Upper School shone brightly.

This celebration of talent was further elevated by the exceptional cooperation and support of teachers and staff, exemplifying Brent’s standard of excellence. Well done, Lions!

The Biñan Christmas Charity is a cherished Brent tradition, embodying the true spirit of sharing with our surrounding community. What makes this event truly special is not just the act of giving, but the unity it fosters among students, parents, alumni, teachers, staff, and friends.

This meaningful occasion creates a unique sense of community and warmth as you pass the red bucket and work side by side with others.

This is more than an event — it’s a celebration of compassion, togetherness, and the joy of giving.

Merry Christmas, Brent Pride!

Brent Manila hosted APAC Dance, APAC Choir in Korea, and APAC Orchestra in China.

Each APAC experience becomes a core memory for our students, and this was no different. APAC aims to foster internationalism and camaraderie among students from various international APAC schools. It offers our students an opportunity not only to interact and learn with others but also from internationally renowned experts.

After days of practice, students delivered wonderful performances. It was a remarkable experience for our APAC teams – one to remember! Go, Lions!

Our Model United Nations students recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in the engaging and thought-provoking IASAS MUN conference, where they represented various countries in dynamic committees focused on the theme of Promoting Peace and Progress.

Throughout the conference, they demonstrated exceptional skills in diplomacy, public speaking, and negotiation. Their dedication and teamwork were inspiring, as they worked collaboratively with delegates from other schools to draft resolutions and build consensus. We are immensely proud of their hard work and growth as global citizens, and we look forward to seeing them continue to shine in future MUN events.

Special recognition to Solbi Yun (gr. 12) who vice-chaired the Historical Crisis Committee and Danielle Dizon (gr. 10) for an Honorable Mention in the ECOSOC committee.

Keep up the good work, Lions!
