Secondary school students are trained on the rights and responsibilities of minors within the framework of the Penal Code
In a valuable space for learning and dialogue, Magistrate Olga Diná Llaverías visited the institutional facilities to give a talk on “The Rights and Responsibilities of Minors under the Updated Penal Code,” addressed to the students and faculty of High School.
During the meeting, the young people had the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the legal framework that protects and governs them, ask questions of interest, and relate these legal concepts to situations in their daily lives, thereby strengthening their civic education and social awareness.
As part of her visit, the magistrate held an institutional meeting with our Executive Director, Enrique Fernández Malla; the Head of School, Elba D. Portes; the Director of Evaluation and Quality, Michael Moore; and the Director of Human Resources, Vilma Sosa.
A New Beginning: Meet the Teacher
With great joy, we reunited to start a new school year full of hope, learning, and new experiences.
Our Meet the Teacher event was the perfect starting point to begin this new adventure. During the meeting, our families had the opportunity to meet and interact with the teachers who will accompany their children throughout this new school year.
It was a day marked by the excitement of reuniting, the hope for all that is to come, and the commitment to continue creating meaningful experiences for our students.
We thank all our families for joining us on this special day and, above all, for placing their trust in us to walk alongside their children every step of this new year.
Safety Week: a week to learn how to take care of ourselves
During Safety Week, our school carried out a series of educational activities aimed at students from different grades, with the goal of promoting safety, prevention, and personal care as well as care for others.
Throughout the week, students participated in talks and sessions given by specialists and invited institutions. Students from 3rd to 5th grade learned about pedestrian safety and also took part in the talk “My Safety Superpowers: Recognizing My Emotions and Asking for Help,” where they learned to recognize their emotions, trust their instincts, and ask for help when they need it.
Meanwhile, students from 6th to 8th grade learned more about risk management in traffic and mobility, thanks to a session by INTRANT. Additionally, students from 6th to 9th grade participated in “Where Do We Draw the Line?”, an activity focused on setting boundaries and making safe and responsible decisions.
Students from 9th to 12th grade learned about the importance of taking care of their digital footprint in a session led by CNCS and Verónica Samaniego, where they reflected on how their actions on the internet can affect their privacy, security, and digital presence.
Likewise, 12th-grade students participated in a “Hands-Only” CPR demonstration conducted by SIMLAB-INTEC, where they learned basic skills to respond in an emergency.
Finally, students from 1st and 2nd grade participated in “Safe Smiles: Oral Health Prevention” with Dr. Pamela Hilario, where they learned simple habits to maintain good oral health.
Together, these activities made Safety Week an opportunity for students to acquire practical knowledge about road safety, first aid, health, emotions, boundaries, and digital security. The week highlighted the importance of being informed, recognizing risks, and knowing how to act to protect ourselves and others.
