SOSA 2020-2021

GOOD DAY EVERYONE. I AM HERE TO REPORT THE STATE OF THE SCHOOL FOR THE PAST YEAR
INCLUDING WHAT WE SHALL EXPECT IN THE COMINING YEAR.
READINESS AND PREPARATION
IT IS WITH MODESTY THAT WE SAY THAT THE INOCENCIO SCHOOL HUMBLY BELIEVES THAT
WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR PREPARATION AND READINESS FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR AND
WE ARE ALSO INCLINED TO BELIEVE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DELIVER QUALITY EDUCATION
BETTER THAN MOST SCHOOLS UNDER THIS PANDEMIC.
WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE OUR OWN ENGLISH AS SECONDARY LANGUAGE COMPANY
THAT TEACHES FOREIGNERS SINCE 2013. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE A TEAM OF VETERAN
ONLINE INSTRUCTORS WHO TRAINED OUR CLASSROOM TEACHERS. AND MORE THAN THESE,
WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT. WE ALSO
ADDED MORE BANDWIDTH TO OUR INTERNET PROVISION. ALL OF THESE TRANSLATED TO A
STEADY AND STABLE DELIVERY OF LESSONS WITH MINIMAL ISSUES WHICH WERE QUICKLY
ADDRESED.
THIS COMING YEAR 2021-2022, WE SHALL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE, UTILIZE AND ENJOY THE
SAME ADVANTAGES. OUR TEACHERS SHALL CONTINUE TO REPORT IN THE SCHOOL JUST TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CHILDREN SHALL RECEIVE THE QUALITY INTERNET-DRIVEN VIRTUAL
MODALITY THAT THEY DESERVE. WITH OUR SYSTEM AND OUR ADDED EXPERIENCE, WE ARE
MORE CONFIDENT THAN EVER TO DELIVER BETTER SERVICES NEXT YEAR.
HONORS
IT IS MORE DIFFICULT FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT PRECISELY
BECAUSE ONE FINDS DIFFICULTY IN FREELY AND EXTEMPORANEOUSLY ASKING THE TEACHERS
QUESTIONS WHEN ONE’S MICROPHONE IS MUTED. HOWEVER, WE ARE PLEASED TO REPORT
TO YOU THAT WE HAVE MORE HONOR STUDENT AWARDEES THIS YEAR COMPARED TO THE
PAST YEARS. THERE MAY BE MANY REASONS FOR THIS, BUT WHATEVER THE REASONS ARE
FOR THIS PHENOMENON, ONE THING IS SURE: OUR TEACHERS REALY WORKED HARD TO
DELIVER THEIR LESSONS WITH HIGH EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY, OTHERWISE THIS
PHENOMENON WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
STUDENT WELL-BEING
THE SCHOOL WAS SO CONCERNED WITH THE PSYCHO-SOCIAL WELL-BEING OF OUR CHILDREN
THAT IS WHY WE STARTED WITH THE ORINTATION ON THIS SUBJECT BEFORE CLASSES
STARTED LAST YEAR. BUT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO DO MORE, WE PARTNERED WITH AN
INSTITUTION FROM SWITZERLAND TO STUDY THE EFFECTS OF STRESS AND OTHER FACTORS
ON STUDENTS WHO ARE UNDERGOING ONLINE STUDIES. THE PILOT CLASSES WERE FROM
GRADES 4 TO 8 FOR NOW BUT MAY EXPAND NEXT YEAR. WE ARE AWAITING THE
EVALUATIONS FROM THIS STUDY AND WE ARE HOPING TO EMPLOY WHATEVER BENEFITS WE
CAN DERIVE FROM IT IN THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATIONS BETWEEN STUDENTS AND MS. BETH
OR BETWEEN STUDENTS AND THEIR TEACHERS WERE DONE. THIS WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE
STUDENTS WITH EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL OUTLETS, A PRATICE THAT WE SHALL
CONTINUE IN 2021-2022.
ANOTHER THING THAT THE SCHOOL INTEGRATED INTO THE VIRTUAL MODALITY IS THE
INCLUSION OF THE USUAL FACE-TO-FACE ACTIVITIES IN THE VIRTUAL CURRICULUM SUCH THE
MONTHLY THEMATIC PROGRAMS, THE FAMILY DAY CELEBRATION (WHICH A LOT OF PARENTS
ALSO ENJOYED) AND MANY OTHER ACTIVITIES, ALL OF WHICH WERE DESIGNED TO:
(1) MAKE THE STUDENTS FEEL LIKE THERE IS NO PANDEMIC
(2) REDUCE THEIR STRESSES AND BOREDOOM, AND
(3) TO REFRESH AND GIVE THEM REST FROM THEIR ACADEMIC LOADS. THE SUCCESS OF THIS
INTEGRATION SHALL BE CARRIED OVER NEXT YEAR, OF COURSE.
DISCOUNTS
LAST YEAR, WE BOLDLY OFFERED DISCOUNTED TUITION FEES IN THE AMOUNT OF 3,000 PESOS
PLUS FREE WIFI MODEMS TO THE FIRST 300 ENROLLEES EVEN IF THERE WERE FEARS THAT THE
EDUCATION INDUSTRY WILL BE SEVERELY AFFECTED BY THE EPIDEMIC. AND INDEED, ABOUT
400 PRIVATE SCHOOLS EITHER SHUT DOWN OR OPERATED WITH A REDUCED NUMBER OF
TEACHERS JUST TO REMAIN AFLOAT. BUT EVEN WITH OUR RISKY MOVE, THE NUMBER OF
TEACHERS AT INOCENCIO SCHOOL REMAINED INTACT AND ITS OPERATION WENT IN FULL
STEAM. HOWEVER, BECAUSE WE FELT THE FINANCIAL CRUNCH ON PARENTS LAST YEAR, MR.
& MRS. WARREN AND BETH INOCENCIO STILL DECIDED TO OFFER THE 10-10 PROMO FOR THE
COMING SCHOOL YEAR BESIDES THE 3,000 PESO DISCOUNT. UNDER THIS PROMO, THE FIRST
200 ENROLLEES ARE OFFERED A 10% DISCOUNT ON TUITION. THIS OFFER WAS MADE IN
APPRECIATION FOR THE TRUST AND PATRONAGE OUR SCHOOLPARENTS HAVE SHOWN US
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
FACE TO FACE
TO THOSE WHO ARE ASKING WHETHER WE WILL DO FACE-TO-FACE TEACHING THIS NEXT
SCHOOL YEAR, WE WISH TO ASSURE EVERYONE THAT YOUR SCHOOL IS PREPARED TO DELIVER
CLASSROOM TEACHING AT ANY TIME, BE IT FULL ONLINE, BLENDED OR FULL FACE-TO-FACE.
THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE NEED TO DO. AFTER ALL, OUR ROOMS ARE CLEAN
AND READY AND EVERY TEACHER HAS BEEN REPORTING TO THE SCHOOL EVERY CLASS DAY
SINCE LAST YEAR, ANYWAY. AND SO, WHENEVER THE GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO RELAX ITS
PROTOCOLS AND ALLOWS THE TRANSITION TO HAPPEN, WE WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO
COMPLY FOR SURE.
WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT YEAR
FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2021-2022, YOUR SCHOOL IS NOW PLANNING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE FOLLOWING:
1. THE RE-INTRODUCTION OF MAJOR SUBJECT TEXTBOOKS FOR THE LOWER GRADE LEVELS,
SPECIFICALLY GRADES 1-6. PREPARED MINOR SUBJECT MODULAR LESSONS SHALL CONTINUE
TO BE DELIVERED THROUGH THE PORTAL, BY PICK UP OR BY OTHER METHODS.
2. HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS WILL BE TRAINED MORE ON ONLINE RESEARCH, ON WHICH THEY
HAVE BEEN QUITE SUCCESSFUL THIS PAST YEAR, SO THERE WILL BE NO TEXTBOOKS REQUIRED
OF THEM.
3. WE WILL INVITE MORE RESOURCE SPEAKERS WHO ARE EXPERTS IN THEIR FIELDS SUCH AS
DOCTORS, AUTHORS, SCIENTISTS, ARTISTS, COUNSELLORS, RESEARCHERS AND OTHER
PRACTITIONERS.
4.

THE RESULTS OF OUR DEMO CLASSES AND OUR PARENTS’ ONLINE TESTIMONIES ARE SO
GOOD THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED MORE NUMEROUS INTENTIONS AND ACTUAL ENROLMENTS
BY NEW STUDENTS FROM CEBU AND MANY OTHER LOCATIONS LIKE DUBAI, KOREA,
BATANGAS, SAMAR AND ZAMBOANGA. THIS IS ONE BENEFIT A STUDENT CAN ENJOY FROM
VIRTUAL EDUCATION. THERE ARE NO MORE PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES. ANYWHERE THE
STUDENT MAY BE, HE CAN ENROL WITH A MANILA-BASED SCHOOL LIKE US FOR AS LONG AS
HE HAS A STABLE INTERNET PROVISION.
WE HUMBLY REQUEST YOU THEREFORE TO PLEASE HELP US TO SPREAD THE NEWS ABOUT
OUR SERVICES TO YOUR RELATIVES, FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES SO THAT WE CAN HELP
MORE STUDENTS. WE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.
THANK YOU, GOD BLESS AND SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
