EC enforces Project
SIBA
Project SIBA
Brigade which means
Sipa
and Ballgames Brigade was
launched by the English Club (EC)immediately after Mdm. Linda T.Canonizado, Principal I, approved
it, July 21.
The project is based on teachers’
and student-leaders’ reports and
observation that many students
spend their free time sweating
out in the open playing
sipa
and ballgames prior to their classes inthe morning, during recess time andin the afternoon. This, as reported,adversely affects the classroomcondition because of the unpleasant
odor of some students when theyenter their class; added to the factthat they would consequently feel
irritable and uneasy, thus makingit hard for them to concentrate ontheir lessons.Project SIBA Brigade aims
to : 1) Develop among studentsthe consciousness on wise use of their time. 2) Help students diverttheir free time into worthwhile and
productive activities like reading, brainstorming, and other activitiesthat develop critical thinking skills. 3)Foster a school atmosphere that givesemphasis on academic excellence.
The English Club ofcers withthe help of the teachers would
collect
sipa
and ball (for ballgames)
whenever students are caught playingin no time other than when they areallowed to - like in MAPEH classes
and after classes in the afternoon.The SIBA Brigade patrols
Nessa Marie S. Rull and Joanna Grace K. Albior
(around the campus) on the followingtime schedule:
6:30 – 7:30 am, duringrecess, and 11:30 am – 1:30 pm.Students who are caught are
encouraged to proceed to the libraryor inside their classroom and do other things like reading or playing indoor games like chess, scrabble, etc. This
is monitored by English Club ofcers
and concerned teachers.
Students caught are repri-manded twice and if they still repeat
the same offense, they shall undergoappropriate disciplinary measure
through the teacher-adviser concerned
and the Guidance Coordinator.Racel Galamay, English ClubPresident, constantly monitors the proper implementation of the project
for the welfare of the students.

They are now on their third book. Some 40 Goosebumps andother series from the library were
randomly distributed to the students
for reading requirement with which
they are also expected to submit
a book review at the end of each
grading period. Students continue
exchanging books via draw lots.
Mr. Manolito Basilio said,“Those books have to be read rather than just being displayed there(library) accumulating dust and intime eaten by termites.”He added that this is part of the implementation of
Project Q-CARE
or Quality Learning viaComprehension Acquisition throughReading in English.

Better than playing around.
Students find pleasure in exploring the treasures of thelibrary and forget the thought of sweating out in the open during their free time.
CJs on guard.
Budding scribes are all ears and eyes being careful not to miss anyof the concepts being discussed in the training-workshop.
Study hard.
These were the wordsstressed by Cong. A.M. Diaz during hisvisit to SMNHS.

one has to emerge champion and
the judges were really meticulousespecially with the interpretation
criterion,” said Mr. Manolito Basilio,the initiator and English IV teacher.“The transition of
The Bells
(byEdgar Allan Poe) from childhood todeath is clearly manifested by The
Advocates; that was the weak point
of
The Dreamers
who abruptly started
morbidly,” commented Mrs. Michelle
Mejica, one of the judges along with
Mr. Gerry Balbuena and Mrs. Ma.Lilybeth Bacolor.
