In separate rites, the student officers of the high school pledged to “fulfill their duties and responsibilities to the best of their abilities while upholding the ideals of Xavier School.”

Last July 15, class officers took their oaths simultaneously in their advisory classrooms. Led by SC President Jeremy Cua and Principal Mrs. Jane Cacacho, officers took their cues from the public address system.

“It felt a bit strange that we were being led by voices on a speaker,” Juan Michelena, H2A class treasurer shared. “But it was also more intimate that we took our oaths with our class in our classroom.”

Later, on August 12, during the high school’s first general assembly, the Student Council Executive Board and the Commission on Elections took their oaths. The oath-taking was conducted entirely in Filipino in commemoration of the celebration of the Buwan ng Wika.

Afterwards, SC President Jeremy Cua delivered his response in Filipino where he expressed his desire for the students to be involved in the affairs of the student council. (see related post)
