HCECians are all geared up to face the challenges brought about by scholastic accountabilities along with embracing the learning and understanding they will experience for the next five months. Steered-up by the diverse learning and fun activities set this November, it is truly a month of cognitive, affective and psychomotor awareness acquired through the different activities which are in store for the HCECians. These month-long activities will be the blueprints of the atypical setting found only in a traditional school. In HCECi, learners are provided with these diverse and multitude of fun-learning activities for them to develop self-awareness and responsibility to choose what they love to do more and to have fun while learning. November highlights the much-awaited INTRAMURALS (SPORTS FEST 2012), with benchmarks from the Science and Mathematics Departments through its SM FAIR 2012, and the celebration of the NATIONAL READING MONTH. Integrated as one, the events are guided with the theme : UNRAVELING THE COMPLEX SYSTEM through MATHEMATICAL, SCIENTIFIC and PHYSICAL ADVANCEMENT. This triad will provide the challenges that will push the adrenaline-charged HCECians.

FOUR TEAMS TO COLLIDE THIS INTRAMURALS

Like birds, these teams will soar high to reach their goals and objectives. But behind all this undertaking comes a great responsibility and commitment. Games are an important part of education as they prepare the young for the realities of life understanding the rules, developing teamwork, the importance of practice, how to be magnanimous in victory and gracious in defeat. Play hard and Go for the Gold, HCECians! Highlights :
