The CCSTAI community came together in a beautiful display of unity and joy during Family Day 2025, held on December 14, 2025. The day commenced with a solemn Eucharistic Celebration at the CCSTAI grounds, presided over by Rev. Fr. Augusto O. Abril, School Director. Following the Mass, the atmosphere shifted to one of vibrant energy as the CCSTAI Drum and Lyre Corp led the parade, filling the air with rhythmic beats and reflecting the pride and unity of the school community.

After the parade, the families of the Centralians proceeded to their respective classrooms to participate in classroom-based activities thoughtfully prepared by the advisers, in collaboration with the dedicated and supportive HRPTA officers. This provided an opportunity for families to interact and build rapport with the families of their children’s classmates, fostering a strong sense of community and camaraderie.

The afternoon session was a spectacle of talent and excitement. The program featured a captivating Magical Show that delighted both the younger Centralians and those young at heart. This was followed by the much-anticipated Search for Centralian Queen 2025, where Centralian mothers showcased grace, poise, and confidence as contestants. Interspersed with these events were the Raffle for a Cause draws, adding a sense of hope and excitement for all participants. The day concluded with the parol lighting ceremony, symbolizing hope, unity, and the festive spirit of the season.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the General Parents and Teachers’ Council (GPTC) officers, led by Ma’am Melody Ramos; the CCSTAI faculty and staff; the FMIJ Sisters; and School Principal Sir Elmer B. Bongon, under the guidance of our School Director, Rev. Fr. Augusto O. Abril, for their tireless efforts and unwavering dedication in making this event possible.
