Penrith Filipino Community School

From the Principal's Desk
This year’s theme for the Filipino Cultural Heritage Youth Camp was Pinoy Survivor, which was held from 27th –29th January, 2012 at Camp Kedron.

Our PCFS students had a fun-filled day with lots of challenging games and races. I would like to thank Dr. Alexis Leones for her creative ideas of the Camp theme and
Dodee Leones for his continued efforts in organizing the camp activities, without their dedication and leadership this camp would not be possible.

I would like to welcome and thank Bong Valencia a new member of our Camp Moderator team, along with Lionel Laserna and Alan Candelario. I would also like to thank Nene Castillo our Arts and Crafts teacher for her Tribal challenge idea which was the highlight of the Camp and Malou Laserna, Cora Barretto and Maria Bock for their
participation and contribution to the camp.

The school was fortunate to have an official visit from Tanya Davies MP (State Member for Mulgoa) on the 24th of March 2012. The Member of the Parliament attended the Arts and Crafts class with the theme of “Harmony Day” and also attended the Adult Language class of Lety Cunanan the school’s academic advisor, in which she acquired basic greetings and words in Tagalog. The Member of Parliament enjoyed her visit and expressed her interest in attending and participating in our Arts and Crafts and Dance Classes on her next visit.

My special thanks to PLCAA President Danny Rosales and the PLCAA Board Members Mike Alvarez, Lionel Laserna, Aurora Valencia, Maria Bock and Aida Basto for their inspiring presence and support during the MP’s visit.

Come, Join and Learn the FILO way!

Salamat sa inyong lahat.
Marie Bandayrel
