Beyond just classroom instruction, shaping the next generation involves offering a variety of extracurricular activities to help students develop their character and prepare them for the real world.
STI, one of the largest educational institutions in the country, has embraced this approach by implementing a holistic education system, called Enrollment to Employment (E2E), that includes extracurricular programs to help students build a well-rounded set of skills.
With its dedication to produce well-balanced and highly talented graduates, STI has developed specialized extra-curricular programs that allow students to hone and exhibit their talents inside and outside of their respective courses.
One of its student development programs is its long-running STI Talent Search which for School Year 2022-2023 has now returned to its grand physical format.
Back from a brief pause during the pandemic, the event showcases the talents and foster collaboration of its students nationwide.Students from STI campuses in different parts of the country gathered in a whole-day celebration of talents, skills, and achievements that upholds STI’s thrust towards excellence on January 13, 2023, at the Star City and Aliw Theater in Pasay City, Metro Manila.
Several competitions were held simultaneously at the Aliw Theater and Star City featuring the finest student musicians, dancers, heartthrobs, and darlings to compete in this year’s Singing Idol (solo singing competition), Battle of the Bands (band competition), Hataw Sayaw (dance competition), and the much-awaited Search for Mr. and Ms. STI 2022.Besides the use of the entire theme park, STIers relished in the whole day of festivity and performances from celebrity guests.
