Now that I have finally ventured into a mall recently, I realized Christmas is coming! How time flies. There are only six weeks remaining in this semester. We hopefully have come through the heaviest rains for this typhoon season. It seems that the rain and wind loved Baguio more this year!

Aside from the weather, this has been a smooth and relatively quiet semester for Brent. I do not mean that there is an absence for frenzied activity, quite in contrary. In the midst of all our daily activities, the school has run smoothly. For this we can all take a pat on the back for our efforts to make Brent Baguio a wonderful place to be.

Please mark this important date - Dec. 7 (Sunday) - on your calendar. Brent Baguio will have our traditional “Lessons and Carols” at the beautiful St. Nicholas Chapel.  Let us all make an effort to be together for this very special event.  I look forward to seeing you there!

Mr. Dick B. Robbins
Headmaster

From the Deputy Head We always take pride in the caring support and oneness of the entire Brent community for the school’s activities and programs. The UN Day in October which was certainly educational, wholesome, and fun is a testimony for this prevalent community spirit in school. Our continued appreciation to all. May this spirit continue to support the upcoming events: The P100 for 100 non-uniform day for all Brent Schools when all are urged to come dressed up, representative of an era or group in Brent history ~ Token prizes await individuals and groups!  All proceeds are earmarked for the completion of our Centennial Reflection Room beneath the Chapel. The Community Outreach gift-giving Christmas activities of both Lower School and Middle School ~ Canned goods are piling up now at the Deputy Head’s Office for these purposes.   STUCO and its “Can The Deputy Head” project   is solely for this Community Sharing activity. Visit the Christmas Bazaar at the Gym on Nov. 29 & 30 for the completion of your Christmas shopping list.  You will be sorry if you miss this activity.  All Bazaar proceeds are for Community Outreach activities particularly the Medical-Dental-Optical Mission Day in April 2009. Cheers to you all for your Community Spirit!    We laud the Guidance Office, the Library, and the Modern Languages Department also for the observance of November as a Career and Literacy month.  Their combined efforts are bringing to the Brent family all the various career talks, the Scholastic Book fair, and the Readathon.  November always promises to be another involved month for all!!
