 The first batch of students who completed a four-year course at the St Theresa’s College Quezon City college department will mark their 50 years milestone 25 January 2020, and have issued a worldwide call for the ‘Gels’ to come home.Alumnae of STC QC C’70 affectionately call each other ‘Gels’, recalling their late maths professor Noemi Zamora’s collective term for her students.

Silver jubilarians HS’95 and Golden jubilarians C’70 in partnership with St. Theresa’s Alumnae Association (STAA) and other jubilarians are preparing a spectacular program with the theme “Kahit Kailan, Kahit Saan, Theresian – #BalikSTC sa 2020”.

The homecoming aims to celebrate youth and friendship in a festive and nostalgic environment anchored on a shared past and Theresian values.

It will also be a fund-raising action to support STAA projects, the maintenance of De Meester Residence and the Queen of Peace Convent, and other beneficiaries.

‘Blue and Gold’, the school colours, would be the unifying theme of the festivities to be held at the high school lawn, which Theresians fondly call ‘Our playground’.

Mass at the High School Chapel begins the celebrations.

Other STC QC jubilarians in 2020 include:

Class 1955 - 65 years - Sky blue

Class 1960 - 60 years - Diamond

Class 1965 - 55 years - Emerald

Class 1975 - 45 years - Sapphire

Class 1980 - 40 years - Ruby

Class 1985 - 35 years - Coral

Class 1990 - 30 years - Pearl

Class 2000 - 20 years - Green

Class 2005 - 15 years - Red

Class 2010 - 10 years - Blue

Class 2015 - 5 years - Turquoise

C’70 alumnae have organised mini-reunions in Manila in the lead up to their golden jubilee as well as “scouring for addresses/ contacts of classmates”, quoting Evelyn Romero-Bondoc of the planning committee.

The STC College Department was transferred to Quezon City in 1966 from STC Manila on San Marcelino St., which has since been sold to Adamson University.
