OCGS 41st Foundation Day
When the students are rooted, the fun rises! From September 23 to 26, 2026, OCGS held its 41st Foundation Day. With many enjoyable activities and performances, no one was disappointed from the very start to the end!
The first day started with a bang; participants of the opening ceremony, field demonstration, and variety show had their parade from the Annex Lot to the Quadrangle. They wore their costumes for their respective performances this week. After the parade, the opening ceremony began with the OCGS Drum and Lyre and the Lion Dance & Drums; followed by the field demonstration where Grades 2-6 took part in. Every performer showed off all their unique skills and hard work into their performance.
Afterwards, it ended with a ribbon cutting in the quadrangle. Business boomed as everyone rushed to check out what our high school students were offering; Grades 7 and 8 both had their game booths, while Grades 9 to 11 sold merchandise and goods. There were also the Grade 12s' entrepreneurship booths, whose booths were being displayed throughout the week. Of course, we had classic invitational games and food booths, staffed by our creative students, and guests from outside the school. According to a Grade 9 student, they were only able to visit one booth, which is Re-sorbet, due to a friend frequently buying there a lot. They said, “I became curious about their product, so I gave it a try. It was delectable and their product was unique and affordable for many”.
On the second day, our pre-school celebrated Family Day, where everyone got to play with their family and friends in a series of fun games, meant to strengthen the bond of family through challenges that test their coordination and teamwork. Then, on the third day, all the events continued, along with Teachers and Staff Day commemoration in the morning, where we got to celebrate the work of our valued teachers and staff with films and awards. A handful of students came down from their seats to give roses to their teachers, proving that they deeply appreciated the work of their teachers. At night we held the long-awaited Variety Show as a showcase of culture through dances and performances.
Finally, on the fourth day, the long-awaited GLOW Fun Run began. It was held at Rio de Oro Boulevard at 6:00 PM where all participants wore clothing and accessories that shined brightly in the dark. It was a beautiful, exciting way to wrap up our 41st Foundation Celebration.
This celebration serves as a testament to OCGS’s long standing all thanks to God and the support of the community. It was a week of fun for students and their families, a time where students can finally sit and relax after school activities. It is not just a celebration but a message of what one can do with teamwork and faith. It provides a meaningful stage for the school community to express itself, working together through the community's diverse God-given talents and interests.
