Ms. Rosanna Ruano, BSM Dean of Students presented the Performance awardees.
It ‘s not just academic performance that BSM considers in evaluating student’s eligibility for graduation and endorsement for ministry. We evaluate their Spiritual and Character progress, Diligence and Progress in Ministry Skillfulness, and their Demonstrated, observable Personal Values and Attitudes. These are the bases in determining recipients for PERFORMANCE AWARDS.

It’s the 24th  BSM graduation ceremony   and 24 students went on   stage to receive their certificates of completion. Several  were granted academic and performance awards. The momentous event was attended by FARM leaders, student’s parents and sponsors.

The processional was led by Graduation speaker, Rev. Rey Calusay, BSM Direcot

A graduation treat and a `chopsticks only’ experience.

With the 10 moths of being together almost over, the students took several hours taking souvenir photos as they posed in almost every part of the BSM school facilities: dorm rooms, classroom, kitchen, dining areas, welcome lounge, rooftop, foyer and even in bath and wash areas.

`The more you participate, the more you learn’ is a learning principle emphasized  in Creative Teaching class. Mrs Calusay gave the students a tasty object lesson to illustrate the point.
