Learning Circle School officially welcomed students back for School Year 2026–2027 with its first flag ceremony held on June 8, 2026.

The ceremony began at 9:00 AM as students gathered on the ground floor to celebrate the start of another exciting academic year. School Principal Teacher Wenine warmly welcomed students and faculty, expressing her enthusiasm for the opportunities and growth that await everyone this school year.

During the program, Teacher Wenine introduced the faculty members to the student body, helping students become familiar with the educators who will guide and support them throughout the year.

The Learning Circle faculty led the flag ceremony, while the Grade 6 Courage Class energized the gathering with the Leader in Me Dance, setting a positive and inspiring tone for the school year ahead.

As we begin another year of learning, leadership, and growth, we look forward to helping every student discover their potential and become leaders of their own lives.

Learning Circle School was delighted to have our LiM Coach Red Garcia on June 6, 2026, for a special onboarding and coaching session with our new faculty members.

During the session, Coach Red introduced the foundational principles of the Leader in Me framework, helping new teachers understand the leadership culture that is deeply embedded in the Learning Circle community. He discussed key leadership paradigms and shared practical insights that educators can apply in both the classroom and their personal leadership journey.

The session was highly interactive, with faculty members participating in demonstrations, discussions, and real-life scenarios. These hands-on experiences allowed teachers to gain a deeper appreciation of the Leader in Me philosophy and its impact on student development.

We are grateful for Coach Red's continued support as we equip our educators to inspire leadership and character in every child.

Learning Circle School faculty and staff went to Hermosa, Bataan on June 5, 2026, for a meaningful Team Building activity centered on Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw.

This annual event provided the team with an opportunity to strengthen relationships, deepen collaboration, and enjoy quality time together before the start of a busy academic year. Through various activities, faculty and staff were able to rewind, recharge, and renew their commitment to serving students and families.

Team building plays a vital role in fostering a positive and supportive work environment. By investing in the well-being of our educators and staff, we ensure that they are refreshed, motivated, and ready to provide the best learning experience possible for our students throughout the school year.

On June 4, 2026, the Learning Circle faculty demonstrated the power of Habit 6: Synergize through a collaborative handbook production activity.

In previous years, student handbook production was handled primarily by the school office, which required significant time and effort of just a few. This year, faculty and staff worked together using a more efficient and organized system.

The process was divided into several stations. The first station focused on collating pages, followed by a folding station, and finally a stapling station where the handbooks were completed. Teachers formed an assembly line and moved through each station, making the process faster and smoother.

Beyond productivity, the activity also served as a valuable opportunity for team bonding, allowing seasoned teachers and new faculty members to collaborate, connect, and build stronger working relationships. It was truly a wonderful example of synergy in action.

Learning Circle School, in partnership with Bino Chess Club, successfully conducted a FREE one-week Chess Training Program for Grades 4–6 students from May 11–15, 2026.

The program aimed to develop students’ critical thinking, concentration, discipline, and sportsmanship while allowing them to enjoy the game of chess in a fun and supportive environment.

Following the training, participants had the opportunity to apply their newly acquired skills in a beginner-friendly chess tournament. It was inspiring to witness the students' focus, strategic thinking, and determination throughout the competition.

Congratulations to our top finishers:

🥇 Champion – Arjay G. Vitug

🥈 1st Runner-Up – Josef Sol Pagalilauan

🥉 2nd Runner-Up – Shawn Braven B. Paguia

We extend our sincere gratitude to Bino Chess Club for partnering with us in nurturing young minds through the game of chess. We look forward to more opportunities that promote learning, leadership, and excellence among our students.

On May 6, 2026, Learning Circle School hosted a special Parenting Seminar with Coach Red Garcia, Manager of Education at FranklinCovey Philippines.

This session was part of our commitment to strengthening the partnership between school and home. The seminar focused on leadership development, character formation, and the important role parents and guardians play in reinforcing positive habits and values beyond the classroom.

We understand that many families had prior commitments during the summer break, and we sincerely appreciate the parents and guardians who took the time to attend. As a Leader in Me School, we strive to empower families to create continuity between home and school by consistently practicing the 7 Habits.

These daily habits do more than establish routines—they help shape responsibility, respect, self-discipline, and meaningful connections within the family. Thank you to all who joined us in our shared mission of developing future-ready leaders.
