Supreme Pupil Government

The  Supreme Pupil Government is a student body.It serves as a venue for elementary pupils to develop their leadership and social skills. Officers of this organization function as leaders in the school. Through concerted efforts, they can achieve their objectives and be able to help the school attain more of its goals.

CLEAN-UP DRIVE


The officers actively engaged themselves in the clean-up drive in the school last January 11, 2012 as part of their activities. They helped one another in sweeping the dusty areas near the gate and picked up dried  fallen leaves at  the Math park.

This little act of kindness shows their dedication and committment to the organization.

Fund Raising Activity

To raise funds for the organization, the officers with the guidance of their adviser sold tickets for Php 1.00 to all the pupils  on the first week of  September. They utilized their vacant time to sell these tickets in every classroom. With the support of the teachers and students, it generated an income of  Php 1270.Three hundred fifty of which was used for the prizes and the remaining money was used for the printing of their t-shirts that would identify them as officers of the organization. The tickets were drawn during the coronation of Mr. and Ms. United Nations last October.

Peer Tutoring

The SPG officers conducted tutorials to some of their classmates who have difficulty in reading and those in the grade one level. Engaging in this activity is not only  helping the school in its aspirations  to promote quality education and academic excellence but also honing their skills as student leaders. They have become more conscious of the needs of others and developed friendship among other students in the school. It also adds prestige to them and boosts their self confidence because they were able to reach out to those who need their assistance.

The Campaign and Election

CAMPAIGN

 For three consecutive days, from February 6-8, 2012, the two parties SKP which stands for Salubungin ang Kinabukasan Partylist and KKK-Kilos Kabataan Para sa Kinabukasan each  composed of ten  candidates campaigned room to room and presented themselves as worthy candidates of the positions they were running for. They gave away colorful bookmarks and flyers with their names artistically written on them. Each party was accompanied by a teacher. Meanwhile, inside the gym were tarpaulins and construction papers hanging, sending a clear message to the voters of the candidates whom they should choose.

Election of the Officers for the District Federation of Supreme Pupil Government

After all the six schools in Tibungco District have elected their student leaders who would constitute the Supreme Pupil Government, the elected ones have to elect also set of officers to serve for the District Federation of Supreme Pupil Government. The election transpired last February 16, 2012 at Bustamante Central Elementary School specifically in the classroom of the district SPG adviser,Mrs. Rosemarie Realino.

The HEKASI coordinator in the district,Mrs. Eldeliza Minor enthusiastically gave words of welcome to the young student leaders. After which, students were grouped and prepared their speeches as all of them were candidates to the positions which they think they could handle. As usual, they were given time to talk and convince others to vote for them. Followed shortly was the election which was perhaps the most thrilling and exciting on their part. Seriously, the children cast their votes and eagerly anticipated that their chosen candidate would win. Then followed the counting and the declaration of the winners. With the presence of Mrs. Germiniana S. Cortez, the district supervisor who administered the oath taking of the newly-elected officers, the activity became a lot meaningful to them.
