The Grade VI Batch 2010 raised close to five thousand pesos to purchase and donate two science models to the school’s laboratory. The whole year science project dubbed “The Legacy Project” had the six Grade VI pupils pooling their efforts in different activities such as Bingo games, raffles and food retail to raise money.

The two plastic models of the heart and brain will become permanent science laboratory models that will benefit the succeeding batches. For the Grade VI class, working for the year-long project is one of their most memorable experiences of the school year. Their feeling of happiness and pride in their accomplishment is truly well-deserved.

The graduating Grade VI pupils took that National Achievement Test (NAT) last March 5, 2010 Friday. This was the first time all graduating grade six pupils in all private schools took the exams along with the grade six pupils of the public schools.

The three hour test tested knowledge and skills in five subject areas, namely English, Math, Science, Filipino and Hekasi.

The SRBCL pupils took the exams in the school’s premises but were monitored by two teachers from two different schools. The Room Examiner assigned to SRBCL was Ms. Cherie Ann Abrazaldo of St. Michael the Archangel School and the Testing Coordinator was Mr. Cherwin Soriano of Mt. Calvary Baptist Academy.

The Grade VI pupils who took part in the test were: Raymond Alfred P. Bernal, Loren Therese P. Peregrino, Charina D. Pinlac, Jann Adrian C. Quinto, Edward Joseph M. Rosario and Diane Samantha M. Sta. Maria.
