Last May 26 and 27, the high school faculty was in for a back-to-back treat. The guidance department, headed by Mrs. Rentino, held its annual orientation regarding its services and protocols. Aside from these, results of the action researches conducted during the previous school year were also brought up for careful consideration and integration with classroom instruction. Mr. Jonas Ocampo explained the data gathered from L 6-7 students regarding their school motivation and study habits while Mr. Mike Pammit showed the results of the exit interview survey given to the graduating grade school students. Both researches aim to provide the high school faculty an overview of the profiles of the incoming Grade 7 and 8 students.
On the other hand, Ms. Aika Jumaquio, the Psychometrician, discussed a correlational study that she conducted to know if the standardized aptitude tests administered to the students under the testing program can still be a determinant of the student's academic performance. According to the results of the said study, the tests can still be considered directly proportional to his grades. However, the faculty recommended additional considerations to further validate the results.
The next day, a seminar-workshop was conducted to help teachers handle students with special needs. Mr. Francis Buenaventura, a special education expert, was invited to facilitate the said training. The whole-day seminar was filled with interactive activities and informative discussions regarding the said topic.
The success of both activities ensured an intensified collaboration between the guidance and academic departments - both geared towards a smooth and fruitful schoolyear for the Lourdesian learners.
