2 pupils triumph in reg'l contest

Two pupils from the Division Special Science and Math Class (DPSSMC) based at the Virac Pilot Elementary School emerged regional champions in the 1st Regional Academic Competitions held recently.

Division Elementary Supervisor I for Science Dr. Salve T. San Juan said Marichelle SJ. Carilimdiliman and Katrina Tolod were declared regional champion for Science and Filipino, respectively, during the contest held at the Regional Educational Learning Center (RELC) in Legaspi City last March 1.

The two gifted pupils each earned a medal and a Certificate of Merit/Excellence in their subject areas. Carilimdiliman had Mrs. Nora T. Sales as coach while Tolod had Ms. Thielen C. Go.

Many of the contestants failed to make it to the top three but they went home rich in experience and new insights in their subject areas. The delegations were accompanied by coached and division supervisors.

Conducted by the Department of Education, Culture & Sports (DECS) pursuant to Regional Memorandum No. 15, s. 2001, the competition featured division champions in the six learning areas of English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science and Health, Filipino, and Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan (EPP).

The contest was aimed at assessing pupil performance and the contestant's ability in said learning areas.
