On February 6, 2026, Grade 9 students went on an educational field trip to Agoo Eco Park and PUGAD Adventure in La Union. The trip combined learning about nature with fun outdoor activities, giving students a day full of discovery, teamwork, and new experiences.

The day began at Agoo Eco Park, a serene destination known for its lush greenery, tranquil lagoon, and iconic Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking the town. Surrounded by towering trees and fresh air, students were immersed in an environment that highlighted the importance of environmental conservation and ecological awareness.

Beyond academics, the park provided the perfect setting for bonding. Classmates shared laughs during group photos, enjoyed short nature walks, and strengthened friendships outside the four corners of the classroom.

From peaceful landscapes to heart-pounding excitement, the next stop was PUGAD Adventure in Pugo, La Union. Here, students stepped out of their comfort zones as they soared across breathtaking views on the zip line, conquered rope challenges, and observed animals in the mini zoo. For many, it was their first time trying high-adrenaline activities. Nervous laughter quickly turned into triumphant smiles as students realized their own capabilities.

This field trip showed that education extends beyond textbooks. By blending environmental awareness with experiential adventure, students gained a deeper understanding of both nature and themselves.

Teachers noted increased student engagement, cooperation, and enthusiasm throughout the day. The trip also reinforced important values such as responsibility, respect for nature, and mutual support among peers.

The Grade 9 educational field trip to Agoo Eco Park and PUGAD Adventure was more than just a school activity. It was a meaningful journey of recreation, exploration, reflection, and shared memories beyond the classroom.
