Communications and Creatives
They are in charge of all things happening between the department and the outside community. Usually, they are tasked to communicate and promote the projects of the department to the student body. Furthermore, they are in charge of all tech-related things necessary for each of the department’s events. They experiment with different multimedia platforms that may be used in the activities of the event. In other words, this committee finds interesting ways to organize and implement games or other engaging activities in a virtual setup.

It is an initiative that happens every other month wherein all the class presidents of Xavier Ateneo Senior High School are invited to an online seminar/workshop. The participants are taught important themes about leading with excellence and character, involving them in team-building activities with fellow leaders. Usually, the discussions are held in MS Teams, while the activities are held in Miro.com which is a free-to-use, versatile online whiteboard.
