PSDS Lourdes Lomas-e met with the Head Teachers of Pines City National High School on May 16, 2024 to discuss the guidelines for preparing and checking school forms as outlined in DepEd Order No. 11, 2018. She emphasized that a scanned copy of the SF10 may be sent via email for Grade 6 completers enrolled as Grade 7 learners and Grade 10 completers enrolled as Grade 11 learners. For all other grade levels, an original copy of the SF10 must be sent. This is in accordance with DepEd Order No. 35, 2022.

PSDS Lomas-e reminded the head teachers that the SF10 should not carry a school logo and that one grading box should be used for each school and school year, while separate grading boxes should be used for transferees within the school year.

Additionally, she provided technical assistance on the preparation of the Office Performance Commitment and Rating Form and answered various queries from the head teachers.

Ilocos Sur National High School benchmarks at PCNHS

Pines City National High School, led by the school principal, Danilo P. Gayao, welcomed 26 teaching and non-teaching personnel from Ilocos Sur National High School as they visited the school and its special programs during their benchmarking tour on April 29, 2024.

On their arrival, the teachers in the Special Program in the Arts (SPA) and Special Program in Journalism (SPJ) presented their best practices during their visit. SPA’s Koro Pino members showcased their musical talent as they sang their piece during the opening program. Francisco Peñaflor, the head teacher of the Filipino department, shared the best practices of the SPA program after a short audio-visual presentation. The SPA dance troupe also displayed their versatility and dance skills in upbeat music.

Geraldine Sumipit, head teacher of the English department, together with the SPJ teachers, prepared another AV presentation for the best practices conducted in print journalism, online publishing, radio, and TV broadcasting. Emilia Guinumtad, journalism teacher, shared the AV presentation.

The visitors witnessed how the activities were held through actual activities and performances. A campus tour of the two programs followed.

Accordingly, the visitors will be starting their own special program classes this coming school year, which is the very main purpose of their benchmarking visit to PCNHS.

“Kindly extend our sincerest thanks to your accommodating principal and cordial teaching and non-teaching staff at PCNHS, especially to your talented learners,” Ronald P. Alejo, head teacher of Ilocos Sur National High School, said.

“Be consistent in your training. Wag liliban and ipagtuloy lang ang gustong gawin," Riturban said.

According to Arnold Cayso, one of the coaches, Riturban underwent everyday training in the school and athletic bowl from 3-5 pm, including Saturday for the team training with her co-pesilat athletes at Woods Gate,Camp 7, Baguio City.

CARAA 2024: PCNHS muay thai artist grabs silver

Martial artist Graceal Napeek snatched a silver medal in the Muay Thai competition, bringing another achievement to Pines City National High School and Baguio City during the CARAA 2024 held at Pudtol, Apayao, on April 16, 2024.

Despite having influenza a week before the CARAA competition, Napeek still strived to learn the WAI KRU routine in Apayao, which also helped her secure the silver medal.

"Although I didn’t win the gold medal, I still consider this a big achievement. With little time to train, I managed to achieve silver. The exposure itself was a big win," Napeek stated.

"I was so pressured when the competition started. All I was thinking was to do the routine right; I didn’t think about winning because, at that time, I didn’t want to embarrass myself. But during the performance, I felt confident and started enjoying what I was doing," she added.

Napeek expressed gratitude to her family and support system. "First is God because He is the reason I had an opportunity to even join CARAA. Then to my mom because she supported me along the way. Then to my teachers, coaches, and teammates because they helped me to be where I am."
