The Lyceum of Aparri Hiyayaw is a six days packed with talents, enthusiasm, and friendships. As Lyceans unite, academic excellence is displayed in a variety of intellectual competitions, sportsmanship is sparked by exciting athletic activities, and creativity is highlighted in lively social contests. The eagerly anticipated Cheerdance Competition, where dedication, coordination, and school spirit come together to display each Lycean's heart and rhythm, is the celebration's high point. The stage transforms into a potent demonstration of commitment and teamwork with each shout, stunt, and step.

As part of the Marian Festival, the Christian Formation held a special event called “Awit at Sayaw Alay kay Inang Maria.” Selected students from every department participated, bringing their talents and creativity to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In this event, students were encouraged to compose their own original songs dedicated to Mary. These songs were filled with love, faith, and devotion, showing how much Mary means to them. The students then performed their songs on stage, sharing their heartfelt messages through music. Aside from singing, there was also a Sayaw Alay Competition, where students showcased different Filipino folk dances as a tribute to Mary. Each group prepared and practiced traditional dances that reflected the beauty of Filipino culture and the spirit of offering. Their performances were colorful, lively, and full of meaning. This event was not just about talent—it was about offering their gifts of song and dance as a sign of love and gratitude to our Blessed Mother. Through Awit at Sayaw, students were able to express their faith in a joyful and creative way, while also celebrating Filipino traditions

The unity among us, the Lyceans, was palpable. Laughter echoed through the air as we engaged in the cleanup activities, turning what could have been a mundane task into a vibrant communal effort. It was more than just picking up litter; it was a shared commitment to transforming our academic haven into a shining example of environmental stewardship. The hands-on learning sessions led by our dedicated faculty were eye-opening. We delved into the intricacies of responsible waste management, the importance of segregating recyclables, and the profound impact our individual actions could have on fostering a sustainable environment. It wasn't merely a lesson; it was a revelation that resonated deeply within each of us.

Education has the power to shape destinies, and educators are the architects of this transformation. Whether you are a seasoned educator, an aspiring teacher, or simply an advocate for the magic of learning, Lycean Education Day is your platform to embrace and celebrate the world of education. The College of Teacher Education has been formed by five teams, and there are ten members each: Team Pink, Team Violet, Team Blue, Team Green, and Team Orange, wherein they showed their skills and values, including teamwork, creativity, and ethics. Each team has its own aptitude and method for honing their creative endeavors. As a result, we built our team as a powerful, incredible, and disciplined team.

A celebration filled with colors, culture, and charisma as the College of Teacher Education proudly held its Mr. and Ms. United Nations 2025 pageant — showcasing the beauty of diversity and the power of unity. Out of eight stunning representatives from different countries, two remarkable individuals rose above with their confidence, intelligence, and cultural pride.
