The Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG), in collaboration with the Office of the Guidance and in partnership with Kadua, successfully held the Career Guidance and Mental Health Symposium with the theme "Mental Health Matters in Career Decisions" at the school amphitheater on March 11, 2026.
The activity brought together junior and senior high school learners in a shared learning space that aimed to help students reflect on their future career paths while strengthening their awareness of the importance of mental well-being as they navigate academic and personal challenges.
One of the highlights of the symposium was the talk of Kadua Adviser Ms. Princess Anne C. Herrera, RPm, CHRA, discussed the significance of preparing early for one’s chosen career while nurturing personal growth and emotional well-being.
In her message, she emphasized that pursuing one’s aspirations should go hand in hand with maintaining good mental health, encouraging students to face their future with confidence, resilience, and a clear sense of purpose.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fedencio R. Dasalla Jr., Focal Person of the Career Development Support Program of the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) of Santiago City, delivered a discussion that offered students a closer look at career planning and employment opportunities.
He also shared practical insights on the realities of the workforce, labor market trends, and guiding learners on how they can better prepare themselves for the professional paths they wish to pursue.
The student council initiated that the annual career guidance should include mental health awareness and symposium as part of its effort that thru informed decisions about their future, a balanced approach to personal development and mental health must also be a priority.
