CCDC Celebrates Love Month with “My Body, My Heart, My Boundaries” Seminar

Love Month at CCDC became more meaningful as the school conducted the seminar “My Body, My Heart, My Boundaries” on February 11, 2026, at the SHS Hall for Grade 4, 5, and 6 pupils. The activity aimed to equip students with essential knowledge about personal space, body safety, and healthy boundaries in a way that was engaging, age-appropriate, and empowering.

The program opened with the National Anthem and an Opening Prayer, creating a respectful and reflective atmosphere. Sir Serafin Padioan, Program Coordinator, formally welcomed the participants with inspiring words that reminded students of their worth and the importance of respecting themselves and others. His message emphasized responsibility, self-respect, and strong values as the foundations for personal growth.

The session began with an energizing icebreaker and an audio-visual presentation that introduced the theme. The highlight of the seminar was the insightful talk delivered by Ma’am Chita Habon, the school’s Guidance Counselor. Through a child-friendly and meaningful discussion, she explained the importance of protecting personal spaces and recognizing safe and unsafe touch. Using the traffic light concept, she clearly illustrated that green means safe, yellow signals caution or confusion, and red indicates unsafe touch that must be reported immediately. Students were encouraged to trust their instincts, confidently say “no,” and seek help from trusted adults.

To reinforce the lesson, Ma’am Habon, together with the Guidance advocates, facilitated an interactive group activity where pupils marked a prepared drawing of a person to identify safe, confusing, and unsafe areas of touch. The activity fostered teamwork, participation, and deeper understanding. Each group then presented their outputs, confidently explaining their insights and learning from one another.

The seminar concluded with closing remarks, prayer, and student feedback. More than just a Love Month activity, the event served as a powerful reminder that every child has the right to feel safe and respected. Through initiatives like this, CCDC continues to champion holistic formation by nurturing responsible, self-aware, and values-driven learners who are grounded in respect, integrity, and a care for others.
