in one place.

In order to foster love and peace in the school and community through
preservation of cultural heritage Project PEACE (Preservation of Cultural Heritage Embodied
in Arts, Music, Culture, Literature and Beliefs) was conceptualized.

The Supreme Student Government and the Socio-Cultural Group of Victoria High
School work hand in hand in the preservation of cultural heritage through performances in
the school and in the community. For better result, the organizations invited locals who are
experts in the different fields of performing and visual arts to share their knowledge
especially in playing local instruments, proper used of props and correct executions of local
dances and even songs.

This project is also a way to bridge connections to external stakeholders. But the
most important thing is even in a little way. It helps parents ease their financial burden at
the same time, contribute to the realization of their children’s dreams.

Generally, the project aims to improve , strengthen and uplift school organizations
toward unity, love and peace in spite of differences in culture and beliefs.
