To our dear principal, Mr. Roberto B.

Briones, to our competent and industrious teachers

of Goa Central School, to our beloved and respected parents, honored guests, friends, ladies
and gentlemen, a pleasant day to all.

It is of great pleasure to deliver my graduation message. I’m happy that we have come
to celebrate our graduation from the grade school. In spite of the many challenges, trials and
difficulties, we are now here to receive our diploma a few minutes from now. This will just be a
start of a bigger life ahead. Accomplishing the small things is the first step in achieving
greatness.

It is my sincere hope that everyone of us do feel ready to cope with this big transitions
from the familiar faces and surrounds of the Grade school, to the new routines, teachers and
classmates of Secondary school. I feel very confident that we are ready because I know the very
good work that our dear teachers have been doing with us academically to prepare us in the
next step ahead. These are very good signs that we are ready for all of the new challenges of
Secondary school.

Truly, K-12 Curriculum has taught us to demonstrate communicative competence, think

intelligently, critically and creatively in life situations. We have learned how to make informative
and values-based decisions, perform civic duties, use resources sustainably and participate
actively in artistic and cultural activities and in the promotion of wellness and life-long fitness.

Today, the words tired and hesitations have no space in our hearts, mind and being. We
know that our teachers have prepared us for our future endeavor with the K-12 Curriculum and
together with our parents who engaged themselves actively in modelling of values and ethics
to us. Schools are great at packaging up and teaching knowledge, but behavioural practices will
always come from home. You our dear parents are our super-heroes, our greatest model. May
you continue nurturing us with your love and affection. With you teachers of the 21 st century
and dear parents, the whole class of 2018 is heads-up and steadfast. We are ready for life’s
challenges.

Thank you.

Ginagalangan naming Punong Guro, Ginoong Roberto B. Briones, mga masisipag na
pangalawang magulang namin dito sa Goa Central School, mga tinatangi naming mga magulang,
mga kinalulugdan naming mga bisita, mga mahal naming kaibigan, sa inyong lahat, Magandang
araw po

Masayang-masaya ako na magbigay sa inyo nitong aking mensahe ng pagtatapos.

Walang mapagsidlan ang tuwa na aking nadarama ngayong ako’y tapos na ng elementarya
kasama ng aking mga kaibigan at kamag-aral. Masaya ako dahil unang-una, sa kabila ng lahat ng
mga pagsubok, hirap at pagsusumikap, may mga panibagong kaganapan ang patuloy na
nangyayari sa aming buhay. Ilang sandali na lamang, matatanggap na namin ang bunga na
matagal na naming minithi. Pangalawa, naging “excited” rin kami sa pagharap sa mga pagsusulit
sa paaralang aming papasukin sa susunod na taon. Hindi namin ginawang problema ang
handaan pagkatapos ng “graduation rites” dahil alam namin na nandiyan ang aming mga
magulang para asikasuhin ang bagay na iyan. Di po ba?

Totoo na kahit nasa Ika-6 na baitang pa lang kami, nagbuwis din kami ng hirap sa pag-
aaral. K-12 Curriculum has taught us to demonstrate communicative competence, think
intelligently, critically and creatively in life situations. We have learned how to make informative
and values-based decisions, perform civic duties, use resources sustainably and participate
actively in artistic and cultural activities and in the promotion of wellness and life-long fitness.
Nararapat lamang ang puting kasuotan na ito. Pagkatapos ng napakaraming pagsubok, kami ay
nagtagumpay.

Sa ngayon, walang puwang sa aming puso, isip at damdamin ang salitang pagod at pag-
aalinlangan. Alam namin na kami’y handa sa mga susunod na taon ng aming pag-aaral at sa ano
mang hamon ng buhay. Ito ang pagkakahubog na nagawa sa amin ng K-12 Curriculum na
sinakatuparan ng aming mga butihing guro.

Ang buong klase at batch 2018 ng Goa Central School ay taas noo at handang tumalima
sa anumang hamon ng buhay. Magagawa namin yan sa tulong ninyo- aming mga magulang.

Mabuhay ang Batch 2018!

Maraming salamat po.
