The grade school department is fueled with developments for pupil and faculty advancement as we herald a new school year.

Beginning with a slew of educational seminars for teacher-training as early as summer in-service, talks on critical thinking, classroom management, mental health, technology integration, communication skills and environmental concerns, to name a few, earned for the faculty Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units.These endeavors were targeted to enhance instruction and expand classroom learning experiences by grade level and across subject areas.

Interdepartmental class observations throughout the school year will allow for monitoring and improvement in the following months. A Teacher’s Portfolio has also been prepared for updating of teachers’ professional engagements.

Meanwhile on pupil enrichment, a Summer Art Program was staged under the tutelage of Mrs. Mellany Bautista, where 2nd-4th grade attendees participated in an exhibit to culminate their 3-week multi-media art sessions.

The Language Enhancement Program was also set-up for pupils’ academic enhancement of English and Reading skills.

A new academic award called the Venerable Andres Hibernon FSC Award was also introduced for Gr. 1-6 pupils who make notable improvements in their academic performance from the previous quarter within the school

#WEareMissionDrivenTruly the embodiment of the Lasallian mission, the

Adult Night High School (ANHS) undeniably concretizes St. John Baptist De La Salle’s vision and innovative spirit to provide human and Christian education for the young, especially the marginalized. Through the collaborative efforts of the administration, faculty and support personnel, ANHS students continue to be recipients of the dynamic and holistic education that are definitive marks of Lasallian instruction and formation.

In the teambuilding workshop last May 30, 2018 attended by all full-time faculty, newly-appointed ANHS Principal Mr. Rey Ducay clearly set the direction for the school year. Addressing the need to carry on the tradition of Lasallian excellence, Mr. Ducay underscored the following points to his fellow educators: (1) to enrich instruction; (2) to be servant-leaders; (3) to integrate ANHS with LSGH high school students; and, (4) to build up the ANHS identity.

In response to these points, the department opened its doors to new Grade 11 students who make up two sections each in the ABM and TVL tracks. This admission extends to Deaf learners who fully participate in all academic and co-curricular activities of the school, one of the remarkable breakthroughs of the ANHS curriculum.

Ensuring that their students are at par with other schools in terms of scholastic preparation, the ANHS implements an Integrated Junior High School (JHS) Program, compliant to the standards set by the Department of Education’s K-12

A ‘New’

With the school going full blast with its Senior High School (SHS) agenda, from laying the groundwork and implementing a full program offering, La Salle Green Hills now boasts of a retrofitted building with fully-equipped classrooms to complement the curriculum and for our Grades 11 and 12 students to benefit from.

A year was spent calculating and calibrating structural and interior changes deemed necessary for the SHS classrooms, still the original structure from its construction in 1961 that was eventually called the Bl. Br. Arnould Reche Building. Substantial retrofitting works began in April 2018 to upgrade floor plan, electrical and plumbing resources. Shear walls, t-joist and carbon fiber beams were also put in, as well as roof and piping restructurings. The retrofitting works comply with the New Building Code and DepEd standards and is designed to withstand even a 9.2 earthquake.

Twenty-nine new classrooms have since been completed as the SHS opened last July 30, 2018. These classrooms are fully upgraded for technical requirements suited for cooperative learning and digital presentations. The bulky wooden armchairs have been replaced with lightweight chairs and modular tables that may be arranged in U-shape and circular conference style, the usual classroom/lecture style and now even allows for small group discussion style.

Gone are the chalk and whiteboards; all rooms now Continued on p. 55 Continued on p. 5

have 5 semi-transparent glass boards on the 4 walls of the room. These boards allow for small groups discussions with dedicated presentation areas, along with a 65” TV screen in front of the classroom. Wi-Fi signal has been enhanced, safety sprinklers and student lockers have been put in place and direct and inverted lighting have been installed. These lighting allows teachers and students to switch from writing and print-reading mode to tablet/laptop use mode with ease for the eyes. Since heavy use of laptops and tablets is expected in the various class works, charging stations that can accommodate at least 8 gadgets at a time are also provided in each room. Airconditioners are all energy-efficient and compliant to new environment standards.

Beyond the classrooms, the SHS building also has renovated the science and cooking laboratories, 3 faculty work areas, and new offices for the Gr. 11 and 12 Assistant Principal and 3 new strand coordinators (STEM, ABM and HUMSS.) Teachers are now housed by strand for maximum coordination and collaboration.

Retrofitting, renovations and restorations were also done in the other offices at the basement and ground floor of the SHS building, namely the HRD Office, Learning Resource Center, Lasallian Mission Office (LMO), CENTRO-EIP and Testing Room, Testing Waiting Area, Seminar Room, Function Room, LSPA Office, Lecture Hall, Clinic, St. La Salle Chapel, TMC Office,Purchasing Office, Warehouse and the ASD Office. Upcoming projects include the construction of the Printing Office adjacent to the LMO and a Student Parkway, to replace the Gazebo, that will be enhanced to become a more conducive and multi-function study area for individual review or pocket group discussions and eating/rest area for students. The weights room, taekwondo area, toilets, hallways and staircases of the entire SHS building will also be renovated.

All these efforts are envisioned to set the trend in the LSGH brand of education, where teaching-learning is engaging, dynamic, truly student-centered, innovative and embracing of new technologies and related developments. The new SHS classrooms promote the new kind of learning where there is a perfect mix of independent discoveries and collaborative learning experience that will continue to set LSGH as the educational pioneer it is always known to be.

A ‘New’ Building Arises (Continued from p. 1)

As La Salle Green Hills welcomes the school year with renewed zeal, the high school department is grittier than ever in taking its Lasallian mission of academic excellence a notch higher, taking deliberate measures to ensure that quality education is accorded to its students. In ascertaining this, the department draws in place several provisions covering all areas of instruction.

Being the front liners in the teaching-learning process, the Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) teachers, together with all academic and Strand coordinators, underwent an extensive Learning Progression Process session with Dr. Miguel Q. Rapatan, Associate Professor, Lecturer and Director of Academic Support for Instructional Services and Technology (ASSIST) at DLSU. With the grade school academic coordinators attending the initial meeting, the objective of ensuring a seamless transfer of skills among students in different subject areas of the two departments will be further strengthened.

Corollary to improving the curriculum is the conduct of an assessment tool to measure whether instruction translates to expected outcomes in learning. With this, Dr. Fé Josefa Nava of the University of the Philippines’ College of Education Research and Evaluation Department was invited to oversee the revision of Achievement Tests for students.

year.The premier orchestra on the rise, the Br. Andelino Manuel

FSC Orchestra has now also extended its membership beyond the grade school pupils and has accepted members from the high school department. It remains under the excellent baton of Mr. Christian Aplaon, Music teacher for Grades 2, 3 and 6.

The Values Program as a component across the grade school curriculum remains to be another major thrust of the department, along with the strengthening of other academic programs, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.

Indeed it is an exciting school year for growing in grit, giving help and for our young Lasallians to keep going higher!

Onward with Grit (Continued from p. 1)

The standardization process started last June with the teachers attending a session on Item Writing Process and the revised tests will be pilot-tested in February 2019.

The Grade 12 students continue to be provided with the College Entrance Test (CET) review sessions, this time with each Strand having its own set of focused/specialized assessment materials. This way, according to the Asst. Principal for Academics Mrs. Maria Carmela Boncodin, the students are better prepared academically to tackle skills covered in the entrance exams of various colleges and universities.

Another noteworthy new offering is the administration of CET review classes to Grade 10 students. With the goal to attain an increased passing rate in the DLSU Senior High Admission and Placement Exam (DSHAPE) and better performance in the National Achievement Test (NAT), the CET review is simultaneously conducted to all sections of Grade 10 every last period of Wednesday, alternating with the structured Activity Period.

Being one of the major subjects, the Math department of the JHS remains unrelenting in its desire to enhance the logical-mathematical intelligence of students. For SY18-19, selected students from sections A, B and C of Grades 7 to 10 are part of the Math Class for Advanced Students (MCAS).

The Christian Living department has also intensified the implementation of the Lasallian Interdisciplinary Subjects (LIDS) Program which now covers all JHS levels. The LIDS Program is expected to carry out learner-centered activities that integrate classroom instruction with relevant, meaningful and transformative community service.

With the presence of Fr. Louie Punzalan SVD as the new chaplain, it is expected that values and character formation will be further inculcated among Lasallian students alongside collaborative efforts of subject teachers to make learning more meaningful even beyond the classroom.

On the other hand, the Student Activities Area stays staunch in delivering worthwhile student engagements through its addition of four clubs in the JHS, namely: Aquatics Club, Volleyball Club, Handball Club and High School Orchestra Club. The Senior High School has also expanded the choices of student affiliations with the creation of co-curricular Strand clubs: (ABM) Accounting & Finance Circle and Adverto; (HUMSS) Kaleidoscope Student Group; (STEM) Fact Forensic Lasallian Investigators Club and Pulse GH.

Certainly this school year’s theme, Grow in Grit, Give Help, Go Higher, echoes clearly and concretely in the hearts and minds of every Lasallian in the high school department.

Growing In Grit To Go Higher (Continued from p. 1)

Basic Education curriculum. In this program, Grades 9 and 10 students attend Saturday classes, specifically Grade 11 courses which are prerequisites to Grade 12 admission. Moreover, the Senior High School (SHS) has a pool of instructors who are practitioners in their respective disciplines. Competently supervising the seamless Junior and Senior High curricula are newly-designated academic coordinators, namely: Miss Bernadette Nolasco and Mr. Roy Daz. Also playing a pivotal role in the various concerns of ANHS is Mr. Kent Alfred San Felipe, Administrative Affairs Coordinator.

Another staple and significant ANHS achievement is

#WeAreMissionDriven (Continued from p. 1)

the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) program which boasts of 100% TESDA-accreditation of the courses offered. This year, the program has a total of ten courses, namely: Food and Beverage Services NC II, Shielded Metal Arc Welding NC II, Cookery NC II, Bookkeeping NC III, Bread and Pastry Production NC II, Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC II, Dressmaking NC II, Computer Systems Servicing NC II, Events Management Services NC III and Hairdressing NC II.

An upcoming event that spells BIG in the department is their 40th anniversary.The unveiling of ANHS@40 standee at the Br. Rafael Donato FSC Center for the Performing Arts in September marks the formal launching of the series of activities lined-up for the school year celebrating significant milestones since its founding in 1978. Already, the ANHS family is hands-on in the preparation of pocket activities and initiatives in the Ruby Anniversary celebration, which will culminate in February 2019.

Through its 40 years of existence, and looking ahead for another 40 years; and more, of remarkable dedication and genuine passion to serve the marginalized but deserving adult learners, indeed the ANHS rightfully earns the title, #MissionDriven.

Looking back at the beginning of a school year and the week leading to the end of classes, memories of my younger days as a student council member came to mind – how my experiences, while in the Council, had enriched my student life, shaped my character, and contributed to how I am as a Lasallian today.

To this day, the Grade School Student Council Organization (SCO) remains committed to developing future leaders who embody Lasallian ideals, character and spirituality. As its current mentor, I saw how the current batch of officers successfully conducted a number of activities, such as the annual R34T/Newspaper Drive, Pamaskong Pambalot, election of class officers and leadership training sessions. I saw how these collaborations had inspired and driven the team to work for the betterment of the school community.

As a moderator, I am in awe of their eagerness, dedication,

clubs. The SACB hones

student leaders, exposing them to various activities that teach them life lessons– from cleaning of classrooms via Brigada Eskwela to fund-raising activities and outreach programs that benefit different communities inside and outside the school.

The Brigada Eskwela at the Jaime Hilario Integrated School-La Salle (JHIS-LS) is an example of a truly enriching experience. Here, SACB members get a chance to take part in JHIS-LS’preparations for opening of classes by helping clean the classrooms and other parts of the campus while interacting with the students and teachers. The SACB’s participation in 2 other established outreach programs of LSGH is also worth noting - the TASK (Tulong Aral sa Kapatid) and SBMA (Saint Brother Miguel Academy.) Together with the Lasallian Mission Office (LMO) and the Lasallian Formation Center (LFC,) the SACB members share their time and knowledge, giving tutorials to the children of the partner communities.

Fund-raising activities are also at the heart of SACB. In coordination with the grade school student council, SACB members engage in Hawak Kamay: A Christmas Drive, where they encourage fellow students to donate clothes and toys for a chosen beneficiary. Complementing this is another activity dubbed Tatak GH: Lasallian Pride, where a set of apparel created by SACB members are sold to raise funds for future endeavors, all the while encouraging students to express their Animo.

Life in the Council is not only very enriching, it is also a lot of fun. SACB is at the forefront of several much-anticipated school events such as the NCAA Pep Rally, intramurals opening, the Promenade and the Graduation Ball. Being an SACB member is educational and inspiring; it also teaches the value of consultation and the true spirit of participative representation through the Council of Student Leaders (CSL.)

The SACB continues to be a training ground for young student-leaders. It keeps on improving the projects it

A Service of Molding Lasallian Leaders

It has been said that the school

is a place where one learns many of

the essential skills in life and discovers more

about oneself – his or her goals, talents, strengths and

weaknesses. It is a place that offers v a r i o u s extra-curricular activities, making student life more memorable. And the Adult Night High School is no exception.

It offers our adult learners a variety of clubs/organizations. One of which is the Student Council.

While seeking membership in the Council may take a lot of guts and hardwork – from room-to-room campaigns and miting-de-avance presentations to braving election results, one’s involvement in the Council is definitely worth the effort.

While striking a balance between academics and council work could prove daunting at times, adult learners definitely benefit from the experience. They stand to learn valuable lessons: teamwork, hardwork, time management, and many more.

In the course of their engagement, our adult student leaders are exposed to various programs and activities such

as One Heart, One Purpose, R34T drive, leadership training seminars, campus tours, freshmen night, Magandang Gabi Po, Brothers, sportsfest and the Lasallian Educators’ Day.

Worth noting is the One Heart, One Purpose program which promotes kindness and encourages everyone to help out their fellow ANHS students, essentially concretizing the idea that “Nobody is so poor that he has nothing to give.”

As a whole, joining the ANHS Council is something worth considering. It can be challenging and yet there is something infinitely rewarding about being a student-leader, about serving fellow students.

and personal discipline; their leadership potential is admirable. All these brought to mind what my former moderator

told me and my fellow students during our SCO stint, “The student council is a FORCE that needs to be powered by its members.” Being a fan of Star Wars, the word “force” struck a chord in me. I fully understand now what my mentor really meant – that the Council will not be effective without the force of united minds and efforts from the members.

Indeed, the SCO is still the same memory I have from more than a decade ago. But it continues to innovate. It continues to grow and get better.

May the force in this Council grow stronger. Animo La Salle!
