by Mara Karla S. Macalan
To ensure that TECS children have an access to safe and conducive learning environment, Tuguegarao East Central
School has stepped up in the implementation of this school year’s Brigada Eskwela theme “Pagkakaisa Para sa Handa,
Ligtas at Matatag na Paaralan Tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan” through its Project HAVEN REALM (Creating a
HAzard Free, EnVironment FriENdly and DisasteR REAdy SchooL CaMpus through Bayanihan sa Eskwela.)
Project HAVEN REALM was conceptualized by Richard M. Bacud, school principal, aims to provide every TECS
learners a place where they are safe from dangers brought by accidents and disasters.
Bacud said that the school’s very minimal space and its building design did not pass two of the three pillars of the
comprehensive Disaster Risk Reduction Management - Safe Learning Facilities and School Disaster Management, that’s
why there is really a need for the immediate implementation of the said project.

address the needs of the diverse learners.
Bacud also looks into the accomplishments of each program
and does an assessment so that they will do the proper interventions
to solve problems met if there are any.
“As a leader, I have to extend all the necessary services I could
give to ensure quality results,”Bacud said in an interview.

support ‘no
plastic policy’
by Jackelyn T. Lacambra
In support to the clean

friendly school program of
the Department of
Education, Division of
Tuguegarao City observes
and implements this school
year the no plastic policy in
all schools of the division.
Tuguegarao East
Central school adhered to
this policy by urging school
children, teachers and other
school employees to use
stainless utensils such as
spoons, cups and drinking
glass instead of using plastic
or styros.
Richard M. Bacud,
school principal personally
monitors the implementation
of this policy by checking on
the rubbish coming from
each classroom every
afternoon.
“This is one way of
lessening plastic wastes and
lessen the bad effects of
using plastic to our health
and to our environment,”
Bacud said in an interview.
Furthermore, this
policy will also help lessen
on air and soil pollution
brought about the use of
plastic materials.
Moreover, pupils are
trained to bring their own
trashes at home after class in the
afternoon so that we can
decrease the piles of garbage
that are collected from our
rooms.
In fact teachers are
encouraged not to provide trash
cans or boxes in their respective
classes so that children will
avoid throwing their trashes.

The school rules and

join the 1st regional School Based Management Convergence at the Regional Office,
December 13-14.
TECS was chosen since it is already at the Advance level in its School based
Management level of practice.
The advance level of practice was attained due to the shared leadership practiced by
the school head where he involved all teaching and non-teaching personnel, Parent Teacher
officers, School Governing Council members, Supreme Pupil Government officers, and the
community.
With the coming of the new principal, everybody was given the chance to partake in
decision-making through shared leadership and governance. Priority projects of the school
which centered on the development of learners were taken into considerations. Series of
conferences, meetings and consultations happened in school to talk about the direction of the
school.
Everyone played a key role in the different principles of SBM. The school opened its
doors to different linkages for the realization of its mission and vision. Through SBM,
everybody was informed of his/her role/responsibility that he/she can contribute for the
success of the school.

The Tuguegarao East Central School Planning Team, in collaboration with the School Governing Council (SGC),
General Parent-Teacher Association (GPTA) and Supreme Pupils Government (SPG), reviewed and revisited the School
Improvement Plan (SIP) to come up with a responsive 2018 Annual Implementation Plan (AIP), August 14.
At the outset, Richard M. Bacud, gave an overview on the parts of the Enhanced SIP guidebook to the new set of
officers.
“Identifying the Priority Improvement Areas (PIA) plays a very vital role in the formulation of our Annual
Improvement Plan,” Bacud said. “We have to select a specific area of focus so we can aim our improvement efforts on a
particular problem. Our focus should be our learners. Their needs must be our priority.”
The participants of the said activity did a root-cause analysis to identify the real source of the focused problem. After
which, they reviewed the general objectives and targets in the Planning Worksheet. They proceeded with the preparation of
the Annual Implementation Plan after making some changes on the objectives set in the SIP.
The newly crafted AIP was further reviewed by the team before it was forwarded for the crafting of the school’s annual
procurement plan and work and financial plan.
