On June 6, our Denham School school was the scene of an enriching university fair, where secondary school students had the valuable opportunity to explore different academic and vocational alternatives for their future.

The activity brought together outstanding houses of study and institutions of higher education, including:

Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH)

Universidad de Chile

Universidad Mayor

Universidad Andrés Bello (UNAB)

Universidad de las Américas (UDLA)

Universidad Autónoma de Chile

Universidad Santo Tomás

DUOC UC

AIEP

Instituto Profesional San Sebastián

Preuniversitario Pedro de Valdivia

During the day, the students of 3rd and 4th media were able to interact directly with representatives of each institution, ask questions, receive vocational guidance, to know the different careers, student benefits and forms of income, as well as discover new areas of interest that perhaps had not considered.

In addition, this instance allowed students to reflect on their skills, motivations and the impact they want to generate in society through their future profession.

The fair was a valuable space to connect personal interests with real training possibilities, encouraging informed and conscious decision making in this key stage of school life.

We thank all the participating institutions for their willingness and commitment, and especially our students for their active participation and enthusiasm. We continue working together to build a future full of opportunities!

On June 2nd, 8th Orange held the ceremony related to the commemoration of the International Day Against Child Labor. The United Nations (UN) declared June 12th as the World Day Against Child Labor.

This day invites us to reflect and take action so that children around the world can develop in a full and integral way. Child labor is considered a violation of children’s rights, as many minors are involved in different forms of work that are harmful to their lives. Such activities have a negative impact on the physical, mental, social, and educational development of children. In light of this situation, it is imperative to take the necessary measures to eradicate this reality.

On this World Day, we call for the full ratification of ILO Convention No. 138 on the minimum age for admission to employment and the implementation of ILO Convention No. 182 on the worst forms of child labor. Their effective ratification and implementation remain essential to achieving the objectives set by the Durban Call to Action, which urges us to strengthen prevention, protection, and partnerships to eliminate child labor.

Justice, as a value, is essential for a fair and balanced society. It means giving each person what they deserve, respecting the rights of others, and treating everyone with impartiality and equity. Justice promotes peace, equality, and social stability by ensuring that individuals are treated with respect and dignity.

On May 30th, our preschool levels held the first showroom of the year: “The Community.”

Through role play, the boys and girls explored different professions and trades, learning not only about their functions but also to value and respect each one of them.

We would like to give special thanks to all our parents, who were a fundamental part of this unit:

Visitándonos para compartir sus profesiones
Acompañándonos en las visitas pedagógicas
Y colaborando en el montaje de nuestros stands

See you at our second showroom, which will be full of new surprises!

Animal Planet is getting closer!

On Monday, May 19th, 8th Blue held the civic ceremony to commemorate School and Early Childhood Safety Week, which takes place from May 26th to 30th. This initiative, promoted by the Ministry of Education, aims to foster self-care, mutual care, and risk prevention in educational institutions across the country. In addition, the value highlighted for this week was respect.

School safety refers to the conditions, measures, and actions aimed at protecting the educational community (students, teachers, administrative staff, etc.) from risks and promoting self-care. This involves creating a safe physical and social environment where students can learn and grow without fear of violence, bullying, or the influence of substances.

Last April, our school’s traditional Annual Report was presented by our Principal, Miss Paola Rojas Castillo. The event was attended by various representatives of our school community, including parents, the CPA, class boards, and academic departments.

This is an annual occasion in which the school leadership and community present the progress, achievements, challenges, and projects of the previous school year.

We thank everyone for their participation and invite you to review the attached presentation.
