HAWKWE’26: The CPU SHS Acquaintance Party on June 8, 2026 at the SHS Quadrangle. Hosted by the SHS Provincial Council, the event aims to give students an avenue to enjoy their first day of school with prepared games and activities.

The day started with a flag ceremony followed by a Zumba segment which were both led by the Provincial Council and their advisers. Assistant Principal Ms. Abigail Vilches then provided an inspiring opening message which was then followed with the opening remarks from Governor Ma. Theresa Magbanua and Vice Governor Justine Kate Fuertes.

Banners representing the student republics namely ABM, HUMSS, and STEM were hanged and brought down by their respective republic and deputy heads marking a historic moment for the department. Students were then encouraged to participate in the fun activities of the morning session’s games such as Sack Race, Longest Line, and Pass the Message. Students enjoyed the photobooth service offered in the morning as well.

They continued the fun in the afternoon with another set of games namely Pabitin, Give Me What I Want, and the Big Ball Volleyball. Students then lined up to enjoy the free snacks and treats during the last hours of the program. To close the event, Board Member Dylan Mizpah Sian gave her closing remarks as the Chairperson of the event. She passed the mic to the De’Octaves for their live music performances, serenading the building as the students wrapped up for the day. The event coincided with the council’s Hawkiepreneur event.
