Ca­reer Day at Va­len­cia RC/Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry School is more than just a date on the cal­en­dar—it is a vi­tal ex­pe­ri­ence that plays a key role in shap­ing the pupils’ fu­tures.

This an­nu­al event is de­signed to in­spire and guide young minds, equip­ping them with in­sights es­sen­tial for their per­son­al growth and fu­ture as­pi­ra­tions.

So said the prin­ci­pal Ann Sam­bra­no at the event held last week at the school.

“It is a day ded­i­cat­ed to broad­en­ing pupils’ hori­zons, spark­ing their imag­i­na­tions, and help­ing them to fo­cus on the fu­ture.”

The prin­ci­pal said this year’s Ca­reer Day, with the theme “Imag­ine, Be­lieve, and Achieve,” was a “re­sound­ing suc­cess.”

She added, “We were priv­i­leged to host over 40 pro­fes­sion­als from di­verse fields, who took the time to en­gage with pupils, share their ca­reer jour­neys, and in­spire them to think about their own fu­tures.”

The pupils got the op­por­tu­ni­ty to in­ter­act with doc­tors, en­gi­neers, ed­u­ca­tors, artists, and many oth­ers who shared their knowl­edge and ex­pe­ri­ences. It was a day filled with ex­cite­ment, cu­rios­i­ty, and valu­able in­sights.

“See­ing our stu­dents’ eyes light up as they learned about var­i­ous pro­fes­sions was a heart­warm­ing re­minder of why Ca­reer Day is so vi­tal,” Sam­bra­no said.

Sam­bra­no point­ed out that the theme was care­ful­ly cho­sen be­cause it en­cap­su­lates what prin­ci­pals and teach­ers hope to in­stil in their stu­dents: The courage to imag­ine their dream ca­reers, the con­fi­dence to be­lieve in their abil­i­ties, and the re­silience to achieve their goals.

She is grate­ful for the sup­port of the pro­fes­sion­als who vol­un­teered their time, as well as the ef­forts of the teach­ers, staff, and com­mu­ni­ty who made the day pos­si­ble.

“To­geth­er, we have giv­en our stu­dents not just a day of learn­ing but a life­long in­spi­ra­tion to dream big and strive for suc­cess,” she ex­pressed. “We want them to un­der­stand that, with per­se­ver­ance and the pow­er of prayer, any­thing is pos­si­ble. With God’s guid­ance and the strength to per­se­vere, our pupils will in­deed achieve great things.”  

As she con­tin­ues to guide her pupils on their ed­u­ca­tion­al jour­neys, she is con­fi­dent that the seeds of in­spi­ra­tion plant­ed to­day will grow in­to a bright fu­ture for each one of them.
