Formation Day (FD) is devoted to the conduct of Formation programs and activities. The FD for every grade level is as follows:
Kinder & Grade 1: every Wednesday
Grades 2 & 3: every Thursday
Grades 4 to 6: every Friday
All students will go through CMO/SIO and Cura Sessions, mostly asynchronously, every Formation Day. The COCA (co-curricular activity) will also be offered weekly. However, the Friendly Talk will be conducted with three to four selected students only per session, and not everybody will be involved. The Friendly Talk schedule of the class will be announced before the actual session. In the same way, the OBF Session is intended for those who may need counseling, a consultation or a conference with the guidance counselor.
Friendly Talk is a routine interview session where all students go through a scheduled psycho-social activity in small groups (3-4 students) with their guidance counselor during Formation Day. This is not going to be a weekly session for every student since Friendly Talk will be scheduled per class and per student. This will be done via Google Meet.

The One Big Friend (OBF) Sessions are meant for counseling students, and for consultation or conference of significant adults in the student's life with the guidance counselor. The students are assured that their guidance counselor continues to journey with them in this new normal.

(a) Counseling happens with selected students who need assistance in dealing with their concerns. In-depth individual or group online counseling can be done via Google Meet or phone while following set guidelines and protocols.
(b) Consultation can be a discussion between the student’s guidance counselor and parents or teachers to get more feedback about the student and further support him with his concerns.
(c) Conference is a session that the guidance counselor conducts with the teachers and parents, sometimes together with the Grade Level Coordinator or Administrators, to gather sufficient information that will lead to an informed decision about matters concerning a student.
A Cura Session is a weekly session for all students where modules are conducted asynchronously every Formation Day. The session aims to provide learning experiences that will develop socio-emotional skills and promote personal well-being.
