Modern Language Week

Spirit Week 2025 did not disappoint! From Pink Out Monday, Tie Dye Tuesday, Favorite Person Wednesday, Sports Thursday to House Day Friday, students showed off their creativity and school spirit through fun fashion and themed days. But more than the outfits, it’s the camaraderie and being part of something special that makes Spirit Week unforgettable.

House Day capped it all off – one of Brent Manila’s best traditions where each House cheered, competed, and celebrated as a family. At the end of the day, no matter the results, we are one Pride, one big happy family. 🦁
