SCHOOL- BASED FEEDING PROGRAM in PASAY CITY SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL S.Y 2022-2023 SCHOOL- BASED FEEDING PROGRAM inPASAY CITY SOUTH HIGH SCHOOLS.Y 2022-2023 by: Divina P. Ilisan The Department of Education (DepEd), through the Bureau of Learner Sup-port Services-School Health Division (BLSS-SHD), maintains its commitment to provide good nutrition to learners amidst the COVID- 19 Pandemic. As such, it shall continue the implementation of the School-Based Feeding Pro-gram (SBFP) to address hunger and encourage learners to enroll, contribute to the improvement of their nutritional status, provide nourishment for their growth and development, help boost their immune system, and enhance and improve their health and nutrition values. Pasay City South High School rec-ognizes the importance of good nutrition for the improvement of academic performance of learners. It is considered to be a sound investment in educa-tion as it is associated with increased enrolment, improved attendance, better performance, decreased repetition, and decreased dropout. Hence, DepEd im-plemented a School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) that will cater to a tar-geted severely wasted learner. The SBFP aims to provide hot meals to learners following developed standard-ized recipes. By following the menu, the beneficiaries are assured of additional calories per day to address their nutritional deficiencies. Food preparation is handled by the Home Economics teacher carefully planned and cooked. The feeding program is also utilized as an avenue for the development of health and nutrition, values and behavior among the children.During the start of the school year, the school nurse together with the class advisers, exerted their effort in taking the height and weight of the students in order to carefully identify the nutritional status and to address the needs of every learner most specially the wasted and severely wasted. Previous Next After the weighing process the parents of the identified beneficiaries will be given a letter notifying them and asking for their approval that their child will undergo a feeding program. The Home Economics department caters the feed-ing and has a total feeding beneficiary of 61 students, 7 students from grade- 7, grade 8 – (9), grade 9- (7), grade 10- (3), grade 11 – (15) and grade 12 – (10). The 35% monthly share from school- managed canteen and teachers’ cooper-ative-managed canteen is use to support the daily expenses for ingredients and other needed supplies.The school -based feeding program for the school year 2022-2023 was launched last November 23, 2022 with our dear school principal Mrs. Emilia L. Tolentino, assistant principal Dr. Mark Anthony F. Familaran, department heads, grade level coordinators, H.E teachers and the student beneficiaries. SCHOOL LAUNCHING PROGRAM Previous Next The menu was carefully planned to ensure a nutritious and delicious food to be serve everyday for the student beneficiaries. The one month menu cycle was planned based on FNRI Food and Nutrition Research Institute guide-lines. The school nurse and the school head regularly checked the food of the student’s beneficiaries to make sure that the food being served is well prepared. Previous Next 1-month cycle menu planning by the feeding teacher Ms. Jean Llego & Mrs. Divina Ilisan Preparation of food as evaluated by the school nurse.

PASAY CITY SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL STARTS FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES

PASAY CITY SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL STARTS FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES by: Magdalena P. Jerez THE Department of Education (DepEd) has announced that all public and private schools are mandated to hold face-to-face classes starting Nov. 2, 2022, as indicated in DepEd Order 34, Series of 2022 signed by Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio. In view of this mandate, Pasay City South High School (PCSHS) has prepared itself for a transition from full distance learning last school year to blended learning; that is three days of in-person and two days distance learning from August 22 to October 21 covering the first quarter of this school year, and then to implement the five days of in-person classes starting November 2 onwards PCSHS under the leadership of its dynamic and brilliant principal, Mrs. Emilia L. Tolentino has instructed all personnel, both teaching and nonteaching staff to prepare for the said implementation of the full face-to-face classes. The usual pre-pandemic health protocols as required by IATF and DOH shall be observed according to the good school head to avoid health problems in the future particularly among the students and teaching staff who are exposed daily to each other in the classroom. Students entering the school campus through the  entrance gate Students sanitized their hands as they entered the school campus Hence, during the start of the implementation of the full face-to-face classes on November 2, 2022, all personnel synergized with the supervision of the school head to have a smooth commencement of the implementation the full face-to-face classes. The security guards with the assistance and supervision of assigned Department Heads and teachers manned the entrance gate to observe proper entry of the students. Proper distancing and proper wearing of face mask were checked, and students were reminded to observe these protocols all the time. Students disinfect their hands as they enter the school premises with a standby sanitizer posted at the entrance gate. Students sanitized their hands as they entered the school campus Students taking their test  Classrooms were prepared as well in the full implementation of face-to-face classes. Chairs were arranged with distances from each other to avoid crowding among students. Alcohol dispensers are located outside the classrooms for students to disinfect their hands regularly. First aid kits are also found in each classroom for emergency cases that do not need medical consultations. Since classrooms are equipped with two doors (front and back doors), a one-way traffic (for entry and exit) has been implemented for the students to follow. Teachers constantly reminded their students to observe physical distancing thus, the students tried talking very closed to each other. The breaktime of students were scheduled differently from each year level to avoid crowding in the canteen. Signages for entrance and exit doors are visibly posted outside the school canteen which the students followed.  The first day of the full in-person classes was monitored by the assigned PSDS, school head, assistant principal, and Department Heads to ensure that the new class program is implemented at the start of the full face-to-face classes. There were also challenges and issues encountered during the day but were addressed properly. There were some students who experienced dizziness, stomachache, and headache. They were given first aid by the school nurse and were asked to rest in the clinic while waiting to be fetched by their parents. Some students were observed to remove their face masks apparently because of discomfort, but they were consistently being reminded by the teachers to wear them back. The Monitoring Team: Mrs. Emilia Tolentino, PCSHS school head with the Department Heads presenting and discussing the new classroom program to PSDS Evelyn Ramos, the PSDS in-charge to monitor PCSHS in the implementation of the full in-person classes. Overall, the first day of the full face-to-face classes was assessed to have transpired smoothly and this may somehow be attributed to the usual practice the students had during the first quarter of this school year. The students were used to the health protocols that were imposed to them during the start of the school year2022-2023.

PBSP, TELSTRA & UPNismed Provides Scholarship Training to TVL-ICT Female Students PBSP, TELSTRA & UPNismed Provides Scholarship Training to TVL-ICT Female Students by: Efren D. Lopez II Previous Next Pasay City South High School led by Mrs. Emilia L. Tolentino, Principal IV, as supported by Assistant Principal II, Dr. Mark Anthony F. Familaran, the TVL –ICT Department and in partnership with PBSP, Telstra, and UPNismed, has successfully conducted a scholarship training with the theme “SKILL STACKS: Coding Program to Create a Mobile App to Help the Schools or Community”. Participants are twenty FEMALE students of the TVL-ICT Department, and the training consists of eight online learning sessions, held every Saturday from August 6, 2022, until September 24, 2022, at PCSHS Computer Lab 5 with the use of MIT App Inventor to develop an application. MIT App Inventor is an intuitive, visual programming environment that allows everyone, even children to build fully functional apps for smartphones and tablets. It is developed by a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) led by Professor Hal Abelson. Last October 8, 2022, after all the learning sessions, the twenty female students with the help of their mentors, presented their created application to Training Facilitators from UPNISMED, executive guest from Telstra Foundation Philippines, Philippine Business for Social Progress, Teacher Mentors and selected students and teachers from Pasay City South High School. Group 1 has created an app that automates the monitoring of students’ attendance in their school. They want to help their teachers lessen the time in marking students’ attendance. Group 2 developed an app that computes the user’s Body Mass Index (BMI). The App recommends actions that can help student users have BMIs that are within the healthy weight range. A quiz game app has also been developed by group 3 to help their fellow students review their past lessons. Group 5 has created an app for people who are commuting using tricycles. Even though the App is not yet complete, the group hopes that they would eventually develop a ride-hailing app so that tricycle drivers can earn more. Lastly, the app that was conferred the Best App Award is from Group 4, a Self-Learning Mobile App or SLMA. The App aims to provide a platform for students to test their knowledge, refer to their modules, visit links to educational videos, and email their teachers directly from the App. This is the first-time experience for the TVL-ICT Department to get this kind of program opportunity. We believe that this is the start of all the upcoming opportunities, and we are looking forward to another batch of scholarships at Pasay City South High School.

The Garden for the Future

The Garden for the Future The Garden for the Future By Mr.Remart A. Balingit As part of the generation who grew up with fast food and canned goods, eating right is a huge obligation. According to the Harvard School of Public Health (2015), half the content in our plates should be filled with healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits. However, due to the costs and the abundance of choices, the regulatory amount of healthy selections are often not followed. To minimize the effect of this problem, the project “Gulayan sa Pamayanan” was launched at Pasay City South High School in Partnership  by the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry last January 2022. Spearheaded by  Pasay City South High School with  the leadership of Mrs. Editha F. Almbuyuguen for SHS and Mr. Dominador Torio for JHS, the project was already implemented in the School  with the help of the stakeholders and the barangay officials. One of the purposes of the project is to give jobs and livelihood to the communities with the use of technology such as Enriched Potting Preparation (EPP) and Simple Nutrient Addition Program (SNAP) Hydroponics. The Enriched Potting Preparation (EPP) is a way to make it easier and cheaper for people to plant in their homes using only three things: bottle, potting medium, and compost soil extract (CSE). The bottle will serve as the plant container, the potting medium will be the soil needed for plant growth, and the compost soil extract (CSE) from the compost will provide the nutrition that will cultivate the crops. This can be easily done even in a small space. On the other hand, the Simple Nutrient Addition Program (SNAP) Hydroponics is a system for vegetable production even without soil. It only needs seedlings, Styrofoam, and boxes that will speed up the process of giving the nutrition it needs. Like Enriched Potting Preparation or EPP, it only requires little space and inexpensive materials for the crops. The project can make a big difference to a community. Due to the pandemic, many people lost their jobs and became impoverished to buy their daily necessities. According to a survey released in 2021, of 1,000 people, 64% lost their jobs when the lockdown began. Through it, the quality of life of individuals and families will be improved. It will also provide a solution to the shortage of vegetables and fruits in large and urbanized cities such as Manila. It will be unnecessary and expensive to import from neighboring provinces to get nutritious food. Furthermore, the materials needed for the plan are few and affordable; Plastic bottles often found at home, Styrofoam frequently used in restaurants, and the seeds of used fruits or vegetables which can also be set aside for future crops. If the vision will be successful in places like our school, it will serve as a stepping stone that teaches the next generation the value of eating right, caring for the environment, and working together to achieve a goal. Planting together can strengthen the relationship of youth with each other because they will create a better future for themselves – a healthy and clean environment. Given that “Gulayan sa Pamayanan” will strengthen food security, provide employment, and increase the quality of life in residential areas, it is therefore easy to say that even though there are still many food choices for the next generation, they are more likely to choose the one that is best for them because it is more affordable and easier to obtain – available exclusively at their own homes.
