Teachers' Orientation

Welcome Address

Good morning! I am glad to respectfully & cordially welcome our Faculty from the College Department and SHS Department to this Employee Orientation for the new hires and /Re-orientation for the rest of us here. 

I am truly delighted that we have found time to gather today regardless of our busy timetables in our respective Departments. Our presence today shows our commitment to our responsibilities to our students just as to the school.

There is one thing common to all of us, we are all educators and we have the passion to teach. As educators, we have the biggest opportunity to help our students make a difference in their lives.  And their achievement is definitely ours as well.

Although our achievement as educators has given us a good start, there are still much more challenges that may come our way as we proceed with this journey.

It is with this in mind that we set out to provide this activity before the opening of classes as one way of demonstrating that the school strives to guarantee that everybody will have a positive, engaging work environment where everyone can thrive personally and professionally.

Again, welcome and thank you for being part of our team of passionate, dynamic, and creative professionals who are committed to helping our students succeed every single day.

Welcome Address (Parents' Orientation)

 

Good afternoon! Welcome to our Students’ and Parents’ Orientation. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the parents and guardians for responding to our invitation.

A few months ago, we were caught off guard when the Coronavirus infiltrated the nation which likewise spread to all parts of the world threatening and claiming a huge number of lives and leaving a very contaminated environment. This came about to a significant change in the education sector.

Following quite a while of uncertainty on the kickoff of classes, we are at last here, beginning the first semester of the AY 2020-2021.

The pandemic that stirs the entire world forces schools to move education on the web and adopt a new world of virtual lectures as the schools shut down from holding face-to-face classes. We are doing these to guarantee the safety and well-being of each individual on campus.

In any case, E-learning represents a challenge to both teachers and students over technology and internet connectivity, yet embracing E-Learning is the primary way that makes the educational institutions proceed amid these hard times. It is very hard, however, everybody needs to tune in and embrace a growth mindset.

What we have experienced since the early part of the year are exceptional times, and we need exceptional actions to embrace what we call “NEW NORMAL in EDUCATION”.

With that, I am happy to welcome you all to this virtual gathering.
