NCST's Drug Prevetion Month

Being an AB Communication student, we were assigned to cover the event in our school (Aug. 12, 2011).

To start the program, a Mass was held at the school gymnasium by 9:30 in the morning.  The NCST choir sung for the opening part of the mass.  After the first reading, the priest started the homily. It was about the different effects of using prohibited drugs on family ties, since it was related to the theme of the program. The NCSTians, listens attentively to the priest as he gave them advice and discusses the importance of guidance of  parents to our youth today.  After the homily was the communion followed by the gift offerings of the students.  When the mass was about to end, the choir sung once again. And also with the help of Mrs. Tiongson the mass ended meaningful and organized.

                After the contest were done. The students prepare for the Torch Parade. The ROTC officials,     Police Interns, Instructors were also there to maintain the ordinance of the said activity. Each of  the course department made a three-line to follow. The parade starts at the Annex Bldg. going to the left side of the street, going down near the church and then they stopped for a while. The parade caught the people’s attention to the NCST’s advocacy against Prohibited Drugs. The parade continues down to the road near the 7-11 crossing the pedestrian lane and going back again to the school. The students took a short break for it was a very tiresome parade. And then they prepared themselves for the Drug Prevention Month Finale----the Torch Lighting Activity.
