A number of asynchronous activities have been prepared by the Ateneo de Manila Senior High School (ASHS) community for the wellness break ranging from meditation videos to self-care vlogs.

ASHS will be having a wellness break as the first quarter of the school year comes to a close. During these days, there will be no synchronous check-ins and academic classes.

“To provide our students and formators a chance to slow down, recharge, and in the words of author Stephen Covey, ‘sharpen the saw’, we will have Wellness Days on 4-7 October 2021,” the memo from the Office of the Principal stated.

Here are the activities to look forward to during the break:

• October 4 
  •  GAME Smile Music Video by the entire Sanggunian Core
• October 5 
  • Mapulon’s Wellness Drive 
  • ASHS Health Service Team’s Mindfulness Meditation 
• October 6 
  • UP Education Exploration (EdEx) for Grade 12 
  •  First Quarter Formators Feedback Form 
  •  GAME Na Self-Care Vlog
• October 7 
  •  Reflection Piece about the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary 
  • Community-building Activity for ASHS Employees

On October 8, the ASHS will be having a mass for Duffy-Delaney Day (D3) in the morning to pay tribute to the formators, educators, and non-teaching staff of the school, while class bonding sessions facilitated by the Sports Beadles will take place in the afternoon. 

The Schola Brevis for Quarter Two will be on October 11 to 12 while the Second Quarter Parent’s Orientation will be on October 15, Friday.
