Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod College Guidance Center: Psychology and BSN Students Together!

Team-building Workshop at the College Guidance Center

One student nurse received her gift as early as November 21! Early Christmas at the College Guidance Center?

Ten first year student nurses participated the team-building workshop at the College Guidance Center. The unwrapping of gifts reminded each of the participants that they are gifts. They may come in different packages yet the real gift is within not the wrappers. Each person is a gift for others as long as the person opens and allows himself to be given and shared with others. This was strengthened by the second activity which stressed on the knowledge of oneself through making self-mosaic and group sharing.

The second session culminated in the activity called “Bilog ang Itlog”. The participants were divided into two groups and each group was given an egg, adhesives, bond papers, art papers, magazines and scissors.

The groups had to make an attractive and durable package for the egg to stand an 8-foot fall. They were also tasked to compose a short jingle to advertise their package. The members of the groups eagerly did their share in the preparation of the egg package. After the allotted time, their packages were ready. The participants passionately advertised their package and let their priceless package fell. The participants did very well, no egg was broken!

The workshop concluded with the participants filled with enthusiasm to share themselves to their community and to accept themselves and others as gifts for each other.

The workshop was co-facilitated by six members of the Psych Cell Society who had previously attended similar workshops at Colegio San Agustin – Bacolod and at the University of Saint La Salle.

Early Christmas at the College Guidance Center? Everyday is Christmas not just at the College Guidance Center but everywhere as we encounter others and share each day with them. We are all gifts for each other after all!
