July 24, 2014, San Sebastian College - Recoletos Canlubang organised an annual celebration welcoming all freshmen and transferee students with amusing and enjoyable activities held at the activity center.


It's the day where freshman students gets welcomed by everyone in San Sebastian Canlubang. Lines were filled in the registration area at the lobby where each one gets to be put in a group that represents the Sebastinian Core Values. The groups are Passion for Exellence, Justice and Peace, Community Life, Love and Service and Moral Integrity. Before the fun activities start, the students first celebrated the Holy Eucharist Mass that was led by Rev. Fr. Glynn Ortega O.A.R, the Vice President for Academic in San Sebastian Recoletos - Canlubang. The theme that was emphasised in this day camp is "Rekindling the Sebastinian Spirit" where he states that every student, every person has their own way of changing what's around us, what we have and what we will live for not only in terms of being a society but also a family and one community. 

After the ceremony, each one of the student is given a scapular that is blessed by our very own Fr. Glynn Ortega. This scapular signifies that they are the new members of this society and that in every tradition, it signifies that they are part of the Sebastinian Community. After the scapular giving, each head of the department is assigned to give a talk about the Sebastinian Culture that will be presented and discussed. After the much awaited part of the event, everyone was ordered to line up accordingly outside the mini theatre where they are greeted by a long table lined with food on each table, planned on eating "boodle fight" style along with the faculty members and the students in each group.

Then comes the much awaited part of the day. A program hosted by Jaivee Aristoza and Christine Refuerzo, both AB Comm Students. Before all the activities begin, the dance group called Groovers welcomed all the freshman students and thought them dance moves that everyone can be able to join in and dance along. After the fun starter, each team present their own group yell, before coming to the Activity Center, in their perspective rooms, they were asked to make their own group yell, something that will connect with the name of their team.

First activity was the calamansi relay with a twist. In this challenge, everyone in the team has to do their own part and cooperate in order to win smoothly. They were given 2 small basins, spoons for each member and one calamansi for each team. To win the game, person no.1 from the team should use the basin as their stand-on where person 2 will have to lift the basin and move it forward in order for person 1 to move forward just stepping on the basin while the spoon is clipped to their lips and the calamansi on the spoon. They will have to move forward then move around the chair going back to their spot then on to the next person and person 1 will be the one to move the basin forward for person 3 to step on. First team to finish the race wins!

Next game is the Amazing Race. One facilitator of each group is assigned to different stations where in each station has its own challenge. Each challenge done, the team will be given an item that can later on be used onto the next activity after Amazing Race. Station 1, you will have to perform your group yell. Easy right? Station 2, you will have to recite in chorus the SSCR Mission. If failed to do so, the facilitator will give 5 questions about the San Sebastian Logo. Station 3, you will have to find 3 coins hidden under the thick layer of flour in a basin. Station 4, Cheese Ring Relay. Each of the players will have a popsicle stick clipped to their lips as they are lined up in one line. The first person will have to get the cheese ring using the popsicle stick and reaching for it, through the hole as they pass it to the next player until they collect 8 cheese rings. Station 5, they will have to use all the materials they have collected from each station and use it to make a costume that will signify the SSCR logo.

After all teams have finished the race, they will have to pick one girl and one boy where they will be the models of their team. The rest of the students will have to work together in order to make the costume that they think will be able to please the people and most importantly, the judges. As they finish, each model from each team flaunted their outfits infront of the judges. With the scores being calculated, a group from the First Aiders performed their dance number entertaining each and everyone. As they got the results, 5th place goes to Moral Integrity, Passion For Excellence for 4th place, Love And Service as 3rd, Community Life as 2nd and Justice And Peace as the over all winner.

Ofcourse, the day would not end without the announcement of the Mr and Miss Face Of The Day where Miss Sophia Pascual and Jericson Lopez won the titles.
