HOLY SPIRT VS TAGUIAM Newer but cases more tangential to the issue is St. Francis High School v.

CA, G.R. No. 82465, February 25, 1991, and School of the Holy Spirit v. Taguiam, G.R. No. 165565, July 14, 2008. In St. Francis, a swimming activity organized by the teachers of a school, in which the principal was invited but declined, was not considered a school activity. The school was not made liable. Mere knowledge by the principal of the picnic was held not to imply that the school consent to the holding of the same. In Holy Spirit, the teacher was held grossly negligent for allowing a student to join the swimming without a permit. The student drowned. Although negligence was not habitual, Taguiam was considered to be covered by Article 282 of the Labor Code (dismissal due to gross and habitual negligence) [i]n view of the considerable resultant damage.
