Building Future Leaders: Highlights from Our Family Day and Leadership Camp at Caliraya Resort
Updated: Sep 11
Education goes beyond textbooks and classrooms. At Global Leaders International School (GLIS), this belief came alive during our recent Family Day and Leadership Camp at the scenic Caliraya Resort. This event brought together students, parents, and faculty for a day filled with learning, laughter, and community spirit.
The day was more than just fun; it was a chance to build stronger connections and develop leadership skills in a natural, engaging setting. Here’s a closer look at what made this event memorable and meaningful for everyone involved.
Fun, Games, and Resilience
The camp was packed with activities designed to build teamwork and resilience. From team-building exercises to outdoor games, the energy was high throughout the day. Even when an unexpected rain shower arrived, it didn’t stop the fun. Instead, the rain became a symbol of the community’s spirit—finding joy and opportunity in every situation.
Activities included:
Relay races that encouraged cooperation
Problem-solving challenges that required creative thinking
Group games that built trust and communication skills
These games were not only enjoyable but also practical. They helped students practice leadership skills in real time, such as taking initiative, listening to others, and staying calm under pressure.
A Community Connected
One of the most inspiring parts of the day was seeing parents, teachers, and students work together. Parents joined in physical challenges alongside teachers, showing their support and commitment to the school’s mission. Students stepped up as team captains, demonstrating confidence and responsibility.
This event highlighted the strong sense of community at GLIS. It reminded everyone that leadership is not just about individual success but about supporting and uplifting others. The collaboration between families and faculty created an environment where everyone felt valued and connected.
Gratitude and Looking Ahead
The success of the Family Day and Leadership Camp would not have been possible without the dedication of many people. Special thanks go to the faculty for their hard work in organizing the event, and the staff at Caliraya Resort for providing a beautiful and welcoming setting.
Most importantly, the parents who participated showed how much they care about their children’s growth. Their involvement strengthens the entire GLIS community and sets a powerful example for the students.
This event was a reminder that education is a shared journey. When families, teachers, and students come together, they create a strong foundation for future leaders.
