IN PHOTOS: A productive and insightful two-day training seminar for school administrators and coordinators was successfully conducted at Holy Rosary Academy, Inc., Molo Auditorium, facilitated by Dr. Dennis Prince Y. Germano. The seminar focused on strengthening employee evaluation systems through innovative, customized, and role-specific approaches that truly address the unique responsibilities and needs of every personnel in the institution.

Dr. Germano emphasized that employee evaluation should never follow a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, assessment tools must be carefully designed according to the specific functions and contributions of each employee to ensure fairness, relevance, and meaningful professional growth. He highlighted that evaluation is not merely for compliance, but a vital instrument in continuously improving the quality of the school and the effectiveness of its people.

Among the valuable tools presented during the training were satisfaction surveys tailored for different offices, teaching-learning evaluation instruments, and hybrid analytic-holistic evaluation tools customized for each employee’s role and performance expectations. These tools aim to provide more accurate feedback, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and encourage a culture of accountability, collaboration, and excellence within the school community.

More importantly, Dr. Germano inspired all participants to become innovative and reflective leaders in education. He encouraged administrators and coordinators to move beyond repetitive yearly practices and instead develop responsive strategies that effectively address the real and evolving needs of the school. Through continuous innovation, meaningful evaluation, and purposeful leadership, schools can create better systems, stronger personnel, and a more transformative learning environment for all.

IN PHOTOS: OP Schools In-Service Training for Teachers 2026, held on May 21, 2026, at the Mother Rosario Hall of Holy Rosary Academy – Molo, Inc., bringing together teachers and staff from eleven Dominican schools for a meaningful and timely discussion on legal matters concerning teachers, students, parents, school administrators, educational institutions, and the wider community.

The training formally commenced with a solemn prayer led by Sr. Ma. Ana Rose M. Tababa, OP, followed by the singing of the Philippine National Anthem. An opening message was delivered by Sr. Ma. Lucila A. Narra, OP, Dominican Schools Superintendent, who warmly welcomed the participants and emphasized the importance of legal awareness and professional responsibility in the educational setting.

To foster camaraderie and energize the participants before the formal session, a community dance was conducted. This was followed by the introduction of the guest speaker, Attorney Joseph Noel M. Estrada, who was formally presented by Ms. Analie A. Talaron, faculty member of Holy Rosary Academy – Molo.

During the discussion proper, Atty. Estrada provided an in-depth discussion on Child Protection and the Rights of Schools to Enforce Student Discipline. He discussed essential topics including student discipline, positive and violent discipline, corporal punishment, and child abuse. To provide legal context and practical understanding, he presented various school-related cases involving allegations of child abuse that were later recognized as lawful disciplinary measures rather than abuse, as supported by Republic Act No. 7610 and relevant jurisprudence. He emphasized that “what is not prohibited is allowed,” while firmly reminding participants that “the best interest of the child is never an excuse for cruelty.”

Further discussions explored child discipline and child-rearing practices, school rules concerning student discipline, the principle of in loco parentis, the duties of parents in the education of their children, and the principles governing school discipline, including its extent and limitations. Atty. Estrada also highlighted education as a contractual relationship and discussed teachers’ protection from liabilities concerning the safety of students under their care, with emphasis on due diligence, contributory negligence, and proximate cause.

Following the lecture, participants were given the opportunity to raise questions and share experiences and concerns encountered within their respective schools, resulting in a meaningful exchange of ideas and practical insights relevant to the realities of school administration and student discipline.

The training concluded with a message of gratitude delivered by Sr. Ma. Rodna Y. Bardenas, OP, Principal of East Negros Academy, Inc. In recognition of his valuable contribution and expertise, Atty. Estrada was awarded a plaque of appreciation and a token as a distinguished guest of the training.

The training served as a meaningful avenue for educators to deepen their understanding of legal responsibilities and ethical practices within the school environment. Through informed discussions and shared experiences, the training reinforced the commitment of Dominican schools to uphold child protection, responsible discipline, and a safe, compassionate, and legally grounded educational community.

Please be guided with the Month of June activities.

The Iloilo Practical Experience Program Local Coordinator, Mr. Bruce Hall, together with Eikei University of Hiroshima Professor, Dr. Atsushi Yasutomi, paid a courtesy call to our new Principal, Sr. Laurencia, to share their feedback and reflections on the experiences of their students during their internship at HRAM last school year.

The students greatly appreciated the Filipino culture and hospitality extended to them, which also deepened their appreciation for their own culture and identity. During the meeting, they discussed the schools’ continuing collaboration in promoting cultural exchange, educational practices, and meaningful exposure of students to the Philippine educational system.

We look forward to welcoming the next batch of student volunteers as they continue to learn through our guidance, develop a deeper appreciation of our culture, and contribute to the promotion of quality education in the Philippines.

We are likewise grateful to Eikei University for its continued partnership with Holy Rosary Academy through the Iloilo Practical Experience Program. It has always been a privilege for our school to welcome and collaborate with their student volunteers.
