Mr. & Ms. Science is the most prestigious pageant of CDNSSI and is awaited not only by Casans but also by the community as well.

The Varsity Basketball Team of Casa del Niño known as the Red Stallions recently were declared Champions of the Upper School Boys Division III of the League of Southern Manila Schools at the Brent International School last January 21, 2017.
Coming in 2nd Place was Elizabeth Seton School of Parañaque City while San Beda Alabang came in 3rd Place.
Also receiving other honors were Joben Tamonte and Marc James Baja who were jointly declared as Most Valuable Players and included in the Mythical Five during the Closing Ceremonies right after winning the Stallions’ last game at the Brent International School Gymnasium.
The CDN Red Stallions are trained by Coaches Aaron Mendoza and Dennis Cabanban of CDN Sports Development Office. This recent win proves that the Sports System of CDN is indeed effective and successful.

On December 10, 2016, Casa del Nino artists were tapped to perform during Institute of Sathya Sai Education’s Anniversary commemoration at the SGV Hall of the Asian Institute of Management Conference Center in Legaspi Village, Makati City. The event was also a belated celebration of the Chancellor’s Day as Sathya Sai Baba was born in November.
Aside from Casa del Nino Science High School Laguna students, Casans from CDN Ilagan, Isabela also performed in their colorful costumes as they did a Venezuelan dance to the delight of the Venezuelan Ambassadress Madam Capaya Rodriguez Gonzales who also presented Diplomas to Tr. Mace Cauilan and Tr. Rola Cabalonga who completed a diploma course on Education in Human Values at the Institute of Sathya Sai Education Thailand earlier this year.
Students from the Sathya Sai School Pillilia came in full force with their Pineapple dance.
The CDN Science High School students trained by Ms. Yoly Jakosalem starred in a play entitled The End of Education is Character written by Dr. Lakshmi Seetharam . CDN Malebox also sang two original songs composed by their mentor Mr. Chito Maramag who was inspired by Dr. Lakshmi’s play.
Overall, it was a tiring but fulfilling event that ended with a message from Dr. Rosario Acierto, CDNSSI President and a pillar of ISSE Laguna. The participation of CDNSSI was managed by Ms. Michelle Asiddao of ISSE Laguna.
