CDN CONDUCTS SURPRISE EARTHQUAKE EVACUATION FOLLOWED BY FIRE DRILL
For the second time this month, an earthquake drill was conducted last Tuesday, June 16, but this time, it was unannounced. Mr. Ramon Belizario, who managed the practice evactuation, said “This is to test the alertness and preparedness of both teachers and students.”
Noticing that the students were doing it wrong, the earthquake drill was repeated until they got it right.
A fire drill followed where a bonfire was lit and some teachers and students were asked to extinguish the flames to demonstrate to the general assembly the proper way of putting out a fire. Several fire extinguishers were consumed as the exercise was done repeatedly to immerse the Casans in the experience.
The Principal, Mr. Richard Pustasa, commented that this was being done to prepare the students for disasters that might come in the future. More of these drills will be done throughout the school.
CDN SPORTS DEVELOPMENT OFFICE (SDO) STRENGTHENS VARSITY POOL
During the summer months of April and May 2015, the Casa del Niño SDO led by Coach Dennis Cabanban continued its programs for both Basketball and Volleyball teams by fielding new trainees to augment the remaining players who have not yet graduated.
The summer-long training was held to sustain the momentum of both teams which showed outstanding performances throughout the previous school year. Worth noting was the excellent showing of the Volleyball teams led by Coach Mikko Gako whose players were champions in both the Boys and Girls Divisions.
The SDO complements the academic pursuits of the institution by making sure that Casans show excellence not only within the four corners of the classroom. It has been noted that during the last couple of years, Casa del Niño has re-emerged as a formidable presence in athletic meets not only in San Pedro City but in the whole province of Laguna as well.
According to Coach Dennis and Coach Mikko, the intramurals will be held early this school year to discover more potential players among the students. With their energy and willingness to advance the athleticism of Casans, it is almost assured that our varsity teams will continue the superiority that was displayed last year and even surpass it.
CDN GEARS UP FOR K TO 12 PROGRAM
With DepEd’s implementation of the K to 12 program in 2012, Casa del Niño has been preparing since then for the additional Grade 11 level starting next school year. The past school year 2014-2015 in particular has been a frenzy of research and exploration with the administration, teachers and staff delving into the expected issues that might come with the new situations pertinent to the new level.
Teachers and staff of CDN have already undergone seminars and relevant immersion programs to be fully aware of the different new systems that have been prescribed by the DepEd. One example is the team that visited the University of Makati last May to experience the various laboratories and equipment that have to be acquired by the school to be fully functional for the said new strands or grade levels.
During that immersion program, speakers and resource persons instructed the attendees on the different aspects of the K to 12 curriculum and the new courses that have been integrated in both Grades 11 & 12 levels.
Having been apprised of the new subjects that will be introduced in the next two years, several teachers are now enrolled in classes in other institutions to be prepared for new courses such as electrical, bookkeeping and other courses. During the summer, seminars in our Pacita 2 campus were also held to train our teachers in relevant methods and approaches in anticipation of the expected trends.
On the part of the administration, several rooms are now being prepared to accommodate the Grade 11 students who will be enrolling next school year.
It is worth noting that several students from other schools have now transferred to CDN because of our preparedness for the K to 12 curricula as against other schools who will not continue on with Grades 11 & 12 due to foreseen constraints such as lack of rooms and teachers for said program.
As the CEO of CDNSSI, Ms. Farah Acierto-Cabanban is ready to uphold the status of our institution as a leader in our community. “We should move on with the times and adapt to the necessary changes for the benefit of our clients, our students who will take our place in the future,” she emphatically stated.
