STI fosters student development through holistic education
Shaping the youth goes beyond classroom learning as academic institutions now offer a wide array of extra-curricular activities to help build character and better prepare students for the real world. As one of the country’s biggest educational institutions, STI has also adopted this mindset as they apply a holistic education approach within its Enrollment to Employment (E2E) System.
With its dedication to produce well-balanced and highly talented graduates, STI has developed specialized extra-curricular programs that allow students to hone and exhibit their talents inside and outside of their respective courses.
One of its student development programs is its long-running STI Talent Search which for School Year 2022-2023 has now returned to its grand physical format. Back from a brief pause during the pandemic, the event showcases the talents and foster collaboration of its students nationwide.
Students from STI campuses in different parts of the country gathered in a whole-day celebration of talents, skills, and achievements that upholds STI’s thrust towards excellence on January 13, 2023, at the Star City and Aliw Theater in Pasay City, Metro Manila.
Several competitions were held simultaneously at the Aliw Theater and Star City featuring the finest student musicians, dancers, heartthrobs, and darlings to compete in this year's Singing Idol (solo singing competition), Battle of the Bands (band competition), Hataw Sayaw (dance competition), and the much-awaited Search for Mr. and Ms. STI 2022.
Yours truly was able to capture some snaps of Singing Idol and Battle of the Bands held at the Star City performance area. I missed some of the performers showcasing their talent in this competition.
