1. Jeranie: What is your role in the school community?

Answer: As a student, I serve as the peace officer in 11 – Leeuwenhoek. I am tasked to organize and give peace and the overall solemnity and silence of the class.

2. Phillip: What type of information are you responsible for? What type of information do you receive and pass on to the school community?

Answer: As a sergeant-at-arms officer in our class, I am tasked with the responsibility of delivering the discipline or information of having the disciplined MaScians on check.  I am tasked with different tasks regarding the peace of our class and I think it is a very hard task but I think I can handle it.

3. Jeranie: So I have two questions here so let’s start with the first question. How is the type of information that you handle helpful to the school community?

Answer: It is helpful because the MaScians have always this vision of discipline, and the tradition of excellence, so it is vital for me as a peace officer to maintain the tradition of discipline and excellence in the MaSci community and I think I am doing a good job in maintaining the peace and overall discipline in my class.

4. Jeranie: Second question here Mr. Antonio. In what ways does passing on this information help the school community?

Answer: Passing this information to the school community creates a bond. A school bond where it creates this strong bond that promotes discipline, peace, team playing, and also team building, not only across classes but also throughout the whole school.

5. Phillip: How do you know that the information you pass on is true?

Answer: I am tasked with this responsibility not only by my fellow classmates, but also by my fellow teachers, and my fellow peers and the authority. As my authority, I believe they are credible enough to give me the right information regarding what to do with my class.

6. Jeranie: Last question here Mr. Antonio. Are these pieces of information available in popular media?

Answer: Yes. As MaScians we have constantly reminded ourselves of our responsibility to be disciplined students, not only in the school itself but also in popular social media sites, and I think the SSG is doing a great job in advertising this types of traits and characteristics that a MaScian should have in popular forms of popular media like TV, social media, and in other popular types of media.

Jeranie: That is all Mr. Antonio. Thank you for speaking with us and that’s it.
