Agay NHS SSLG Officers Join Forces in Launching ARAL Program

With hearts full of purpose and a vision for better learning, the Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) officers of Agay National High School took part in the launching of the ARAL (Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning) Program held last September 10, 2025, from 7:30 to 9:00 AM at the school grounds.

The program, spearheaded by Hannah Faith Facura and Dannilyn Gaudia, came to life through the strong partnership of the Parents-Teachers Association (PTA), School Governing Council (SGC), alumni, SSLG, and different school cl
ubs, proving that the school community is at its best when united for a cause.

Anchored on ARAL is Project LIGHT (Literacy Intervention and Growth through Holistic Teaching)—a reading initiative tailored for learners who face challenges in literacy. It is not just another program; it is a mission to empower struggling readers by enhancing their alphabetic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, decoding, and comprehension. With targeted interventions and creative strategies, Project LIGHT aims to transform frustration into confidence, one word at a time.

To seal their dedication, all participating partners signed their names on the Commitment Wall, symbolizing their pledge to support every learner in their academic recovery journey. The wall now stands as a powerful reminder of the collective responsibility shared by teachers, parents, student leaders, and alumni.

The presence of the SSLG officers during the launch symbolized the voice of the student body in advocating for accessible education. Their involvement underscored the idea that student leaders are not just representatives but also catalysts of change, ready to stand alongside the community in building a learning environment where no one is left behind.

As the event concluded, hope filled the air. The launch of ARAL and Project LIGHT marked not just the start of a program but the beginning of a shared journey toward a brighter, more literate, and empowered Agay NHS community.
