FOREWORD The academic community is composed of different sectors, foremost of which is the pupil group. As many changes are happening in the life of the learner, he might be fascinated with how he grows and interacts with others. His mind is so powerful that he can react very fast to what is happening outside himself. Each member of the academic community should be properly regulated to be able to give value to the dignity of the individual and to maintain order, hence, this Pupil Handbook is created. It is drafted to inform the pupils of the policies of the Our Lady of the Holy Rosary School enabling them to live productively and work with those in authority. The pupils, upon admission, are required to have knowledge of and agree to abide by the policies contained herein. Through this handbook, the school hopes to graduate individuals in the context of Catholic Education and therefore expects them to use the gained knowledge, attitudes, and skills when they continue their secondary education. The OLHRS Pupil Handbook 2021 Edition takes effect beginning school year 2021-2022. i

PUPIL HANDBOOK 2021

SECTION I OUR LADY OF THE HOLY ROSARY SCHOOL A BRIEF BACKGROUND The Our Lady of the Holy Rosary School (OLHRS) was borne out of love for the poor. It started in school year 1993-1994 when Amaya Elementary School, a nearby public school phased out its pre-school classes. The parents of these pupils were surprised by this change and suddenly found their children “school-less”. Since the majority of them belong to a lower income group, they cannot afford to send their children to private schools and pay high fees. Concerned with the displaced and eager-to-learn children, Rev. Fr. Ariel M. Lisama, who during that, time was preparing for his ordination to the diaconate and Mrs. Veronidia L. de Leon, a De La Salle University professor, volunteered to extend their services to these poor children for free. They housed the children in a big garage, which they converted into a classroom; hired a teacher whom they supported by the monthly fee paid, by the said children (P 60.00 for Kinder; P 40.00 for Nursery). The volunteer administrators and the civic-minded parents who banded together and agreed to continue the schooling of their children shouldered test papers and other miscellaneous expenses. Religious and health services were extended by volunteer seminarians from Our Lady of the Pillar Seminary and friends of Fr. Ariel. After a school year, a two-classroom school building was built by the joint efforts of Fr. Ariel M. Lisama and Mrs. Veronidia L. de Leon. Mrs. Maxima L. Hernandez was appointed as Schoolhead. From then on, the school continuously provides Catholic education to the children in the community and nearby towns. It became a Catholic school owned and operated by the Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Educational Foundation, Inc., a nonstock, non-profit corporation. In 1996, it earned the supervision of the Lasallian Schools Supervision Office (LASSO) at De La Salle University-Manila. OLHRS in its search for meaningful existence reviewed the school operations the past years to ascertain what it has become and what it is yet to become. As an institution whose significant mission is to give quality Catholic education to the youth, OLHRS decided to carry on and in school year 2003-2004 the secondary level was opened. The first and the second year students were accepted. Permit to operate was submitted and approved by the Department of Education. The classes were housed in a three-classroom building in the five-hundred square meter lot rented by the school. 1

It was in the same year when a prominent citizen of Tanza sold a portion of his lot in Mulawin to the administrators of the school. December 8, 2003, Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the ground breaking ceremony was held which signalled the construction of the high school building in the five-thousand square meter lot at Rosaryville Cmpd., Mulawin, Tanza, Cavite. In school year 2004-2005, the high school department occupied the newly constructed yet unfinished building. Government Recognition to operate all levels was granted March 1, 2005. From then on, school administrators, faculty and staff shoulder the diverse responsibilities in order to reach out to more people in Amaya and in nearby communities. The school continues to seek new and more effective ways to achieve its vision-mission and to live out the Rosarian Core Values. Ultimately, OLHRS will create another share in the history of education not only in Tanza but also in the province of Cavite.  Our Lady of the Holy Rosary The Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary was established in 1571 by St. Pius V to commemorate the naval battle of Lepanto. The victory of the Christians fleet over the Turks was attributed to the Virgin Mary, whose help was invoked through praying the Holy Rosary. According to a venerable tradition, this beautiful prayer was revealed to St. Dominic by the Blessed Mother. The 150 Hail Marys correspond to the number of Psalms, that the illiterate people of that time could not understand. The first part of the Hail Mary is taken from the Gospel of St. Luke, the second was added by the tradition of the Church. The 15 mysteries, divided into joyful, sorrowful, and glorious, reflect the principal events of the life of Jesus and Mary. Paul VI said that a rosary without meditation on these mysteries is like a dead person without life. The litanies, taken from the Sanctuary of Loreto in Italy were added to the Rosary in 1592. The response we repeat after every decade – O my Jesus, forgive us our sins – was dictated by the Virgin Mary to the three visionaries of Fatima in 1917. In 2002, Pope John Paul II added the Mysteries of Light to this devotion. Those who consider monotonous to repeat so many times the same prayer should be reminded that lovers are never tired to repeat the same few words over and over again. The Holy Rosary is a matter of love. 2

VISION The Our Lady of the Holy Rosary School envisions itself as a Catholic institution that upholds a culture of honor and excellence. MISSION Guided by Catholic principles and Filipino values, the school commits to: • provide opportunities for pupils / students to experience God; • inculcate moral integrity and Marian spirituality; • develop pupils / students to become stewards of God’s creation; • train pupils / students to become person-oriented and to value their families; • cultivate the full potentials of every learning individual. ROSARIAN PHILOSOPHY We believe that the pupil is a child of God, baptized with water and the spirit, with his own unique personality and God-given talents. He is a bud who blossoms into full glory through the ministering hand of the teacher under the guidance of Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, and St. John Baptist De La Salle, with the help of Divine Grace in a nonthreatening environment. ROSARIAN CORE VALUES Obedience adherence to divine and human laws Love a strong affection for God, country, family, self and others Honesty moral uprightness; the quality of not giving in to cheating, stealing and lying 3

Respect high regard for self, others and nature Service willingness to work for others and the community OLHRS HYMN Lyrics by: Mrs. Emma L. Hernandez and Jon Lazaro Hail Alma Mater we sing for your glory Our Lady of the Holy Rosary The school that we all love, foundation of our future We pledge our loyalty to you Our Lady of the Holy Rosary School Your thrusts and goals we’ll faithfully uphold Through our lives we shall stand out with pride By the name and the banner of your legacy and forever we will wave your flag up high Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Through our lives we shall stand out with pride by the name and the banner of your legacy and forever we will wave your flag up high Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. Hail! Hail! Alma Mater Hail! 4

When a pupil registers, it is understood that he is enrolling for the entire year. However, a pupil who drops or withdraws from the school may be charged his tuition and other fees in accordance with the following rules: a. 10% of the total amount due for the year shall be charged if the pupil withdraws within the first week of classes, regardless of whether he has actually attended the classes or not. b. 20% of the total amount due for the year shall be charged if the pupil withdraws within the second week of classes, regardless of whether he has actually attended the classes or not. c. A pupil shall be charged in full if he withdraws anytime after the second week of classes.

4. Returned Checks a. The responsibility of ensuring the check is good rests with the parent / guardian.

Failure to do so automatically results in the deletion of the pupil’s name, from the official enrolment list. b. The parent / guardian who paid within the regular enrolment period and whose check was subsequently dishonored will incur a penalty of Php 500.00. Parents / Guardians whose checks have been dishonored may no longer make subsequent payments using checks. Only cash and manager’s check will be accepted. 5. Late Payment of Fees a.
