Ang training ay isinagawa sa loob ng isang araw. Sa unang dalawang bahagi, ang mga panauhing tagapagsalita ay sina Atty. Catherine Mae L. Alberto at G. Anjelo R. Cabigting ay nagbahagi ng kanilang kaalaman at karanasan kung paano maging isang magaling na lider. Ang mga kalahok ay nahati sa sampung pangkat para sa mga aktibidad na makatutulong sa kanilang internalization ng kanilang mga kakayahan.
Sa huling bahagi, muling nahati sa tatlong koponan ang mga kalahok para sa team building activities na inihanda ng SSG officers. Sadya ngang makahulugan ang katagang, “It takes more than duties and responsibilities to become a leader.”#

Naging matagumpay ang Humanidades Filipino Subgroup sa kanilang paggunita ng Buwan ng Wika na may temang “Wika ng Pagkakaisa” na isinagawa sa PSHS-CVC noong ika-15 ng Agosto 2014.

“Ang Larong Pinoy ay Larong Pisay… Palakasan ng katawan, patalasan ng isipan, liksi at kagalingan iyan ang batayan”, wika ni Patrice S. Bumanlag, ang pangulo ng Humanidades Filipino Subgroup sa kanyang pambungad na mensahe.
Ang magkakatunggaling koponan ay nakiisa sa mga iba’t ibang patimpalak katulad ng Listahaaaaan, Malikhaing Tula, A BST BHL K N!, Anong What?, Huwag Maliitin at iba pa. May tanungan din patungkol sa bugtong sa iba’t ibang grupo upang makakuha ng dagdag puntos.
Natapos ang buong selebrasyon ng Buwan ng Wika 2014 sa pamamagitan ng paggawad ng parangal sa mga estudyanteng nagpakita ng angking kakayahan at galing sa iba’t ibang paligsahan na pinangasiwaan ng mga guro sa Filipino Unit.
