SY 2003-2004 .Cq~(M qvfem S~euelll To the entire CNCHS Community: Through our school paper, The Glow, I would like to reach out to all of you on matters that are of vital importance to our school. The task of administering our school is indeed herculean. It cannot be successfully done by only one person. It requires the collective efforts and all-out cooperation of everyone in school. It is in this context that I would like to appeal to all the students, the faculty and staff of our school. Dear students: As the Officer-in-Charge of the school, rest assured that I will give the best of what God has bestowed on me - my intelligence and my talents - to provide your with quality secondary education and to promote your welfare. I appeal to all of you to please cooperate with us, your second parents in school. To maintain peace and order in our school, please always follow school rules and regulations. If you have conflict with your fellow student, do not hesitate to approach any school official for help. Please do not put the law into your own hand. Be conscientious in your studies. Your future greatly depends upon your devotion to studies at present. Your parents will surely feel happy and compensated if they see your walking on the straight path of life. Our school has competent teachers who are helping you transform your dreams in life to reality. Listen to their words of wisdom, internalize and practice them in your daily life so that you will always be in the right track in life. Through the tutelage of your teachers, please maximize the development of your innate intelligence, talents and skills. In doing so, you will be giving a name to our beloved Cabatuan National Comprehensive High School. Please bear in mind that our school enjoys a certain degree of fame because of its record of achievements. Together with the administration, the faculty and staff of our school, let us improve the academic record of our school. Personally I am of the belief that CNCHS teems with students possessed with intellectual potentials awaiting maximum development. My fellow teachers: I accepted, without an), second thought, the gigantic responsibility of administering our school because of the thought that all of you will be behind my administration. Needless to say, I am helpless without your all-out support and continuing cooperation. As we work together, I appeal to all of you, fellow teachers, to increase our commitment to our chosen profession. Let us live up to the epithet heaped upon us - moulder of the youth! Indeed our students expect much from us. They look upon us as their role models. Their young minds thirst for our love, care, and understanding. Let us quench that thirst through our collective efforts. Let us not fail our students in their expectations of us by generously, religiously, and consistently sharing with them our talents, our intelligence, and our professional competence. I also appeal to all teachers, most especially the young ones, to continue growing professionally. Your professional growth, to a certain extent, will be your potent weapon in becoming an effective facilitator of learning. To the support staff: I also appeal to all of you to increase your commitment to your duties and responsibilities. Your day-to-day efforts should complement and supplement the efforts of the faculty to attain the realization of the vision and mission of our school. Indeed all sectors in CNCHS community - the studentry, the faculty, the staff - should work together as a TEAM. Everyone in school should be inside of only one big circle in order to realize our goal of making Cabatuan National Comprehensive High School a fountain of quality secondary education and a prestigious institution of learning. My dear students my fellow teachers, and members of the support staff of our school: At all times, let us do our duties and responsibilities as a TEAM because Together Everyone Achieves More.
