Sir:
Attached is a copy of the School Improvement Plan (SIP) F.Y. 2016-2018 of Cauayan
City National High School-Main, Turayong, Cauayan City, Isabela which we are
favorably endorsing for your approval.
The three-year Enhanced School Improvement Plan, if and when realized will elevate
the status of the school by improving the three key result areas in basic education-
access, quality and governance. The Priority Improvement Areas (PIAs) are prioritized
based on disparity with Division goals, strategic importance, urgency, magnitude and
feasibility.
The medium-term plan is a product of the concerted efforts of all stakeholders of the
school- parents, community leaders, teachers, alumni, and students after undergoing a
painstaking and laborious process of obtaining data taking into account the Continuous
Improvement (CI) process to continually assess, analyze and act on the performance
improvement of key processes and service delivery, focusing on both stakeholder needs
and the desired performance.
The Cauayan City National High School was established on June 3, 1997 as
high school extension of Cauayan Polytechnic College with an initial enrolment of
1,065 and a teaching force that comprised five regular teachers, four Local School
Board teachers and ten PTCA –paid teachers.
The LGU-owned Ladies’ Dormitory located at Burgos St. in Barangay District
I served as the first campus where 18 freshmen sections were housed.
The school was established through the concerted efforts of the administration
of Cauayan Polytechnic College, now Isabela State University, Cauayan Campus, the
Local Government Unit of Cauayan, then a first-class municipality, and the Parent
Teachers and Community Association(PTCA) to cushion the impact of Commission on
Higher Education (CHED) Order number 3, series of 1996 mandating the gradual phase
down of secondary programs to a maximum of 500 students and limiting the number
of freshmen entrants to 125.
The following school year registered a 108% increase of enrolment students that
prompted the school administration to put up satellite classes in the different barangays
to accommodate all enrolees. Two satellite classes were organized in each of the
following barangays: Buena Suerte, Dabburab and District I. On the other hand, eight
satellite classes were formed in Minante I.
The school year 1998-1999 registered a record high enrolment of 3,878 students
that necessitated the implementation of two-shift scheme. Students who came from
outer most barangays and nearby municipalities took the morning session (7:30-12:30),
while students who came from the poblacion took the afternoon session (1:00-6:00). It
was also during this time when the school acquired a three-hectare lot in barangay
Turayong, the present location of the school. The first school building was erected
during this period- the Heherson Alvarez building which now serves as the
administration building of the school.
On July 19, 1999, the school achieved its autonomy from its mother school and
was named CAUAYAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL by virtue of a Department
Order. In January 2000, the school was included in the General Appropriations Act
(GAA) with an initial yearly MOOE of Php 55,000.
It was also during this year when the first three regular teaching items were
given to the school. Since then, more buildings were erected yearly to accommodate
over 4,000 students in the new campus. More teacher items were also given to the
school to address teacher shortage. Sillawit Extension was also established during the
School Year 2000-2001 with an initial enrolment of 300 students.
The school serves four barangays, namely: Sillawit, Nungnungan II, Alinam
and San Isidro. After five years of operation, CNHS Sillawit Extension was separated
from CNHS and it became Sillawit National High School.
This development diminished the yearly enrolment to over 3,478 students in the
succeeding year. In December 2008, CCNHS Research Extension located at Minante I,
Cauayan City was established with two sections in the First Year Curriculum. Students
came from the following feeder barangays, namely: San Francisco, Faustino, Minante
I and II.
January 4, 2010 ushered a brighter prospect for CCNHS because a new school
head took the leadership helm, Mr. John R. Mina. He is not new to the school since he
was one of the pioneer teachers of the school. He rose from the ranks- classroom teacher
for six years (1997-2003), Head Teacher III for four years, and Principal I for three
years.
The new school head who finished his Masters degree at the College of
Education of the University of the Philippines Diliman as a NEAP scholar instituted
many reforms in the school that ushered in a culture of excellence. His term is
indubitably the crowning glory or golden age of the school, so to speak because of the
numerous feats and achievements of the school, most notable of which are three
national awards- Brigada Eskwela Best Implementer-Big School Category in 2010,
2011 and 2012, Hall of Fame Award in Brigada Eskwela, and Grand Champion in the
Nationwide Search for Best School Forest Park. The school received a total of 1.2 -
million pesos as cash prize for the latter.
Moreover, the school etched a lasting legacy in various academic, co and extra-
curricular competitions from division to international levels. The school has become a
benchmark of schools in Region 02 with the outstanding feats of students, teachers and
the school head by reaping awards and recognitions in the different disciplines.
In due time, two extension schools were established to decongest the main
campus. Cabaruan Extension was established in June 2010 while Marabulig Extension
started its operation in June 2013 through proper representations made by the school
head. These two schools have separate budgetary allocations from the General
Appropriations Act a year after they were established. This made the two schools
managed their own resources that prompted their continuous development. These
schools were managed by former teachers of the school who passed the National
Qualifying Examinations of School Heads. At least five of them are now deployed in
various public secondary schools in SDO Cauayan City.
As development happened from time to time, deeper harmonious rapport
between and among teachers, parents and students and community folks had been
established. Many more are expected to be constructed in the institution these coming
years with the inclusion of the full implementation of the Senior High School Program
All these and more are done through collaboration and concerted efforts of all
the stakeholders through the leadership of the school head.
The construction of academic nooks, library extension stakeholders’
gymnasium, concrete fence, comfort rooms and learning resource centers by
department, acquisition of school bus, construction of the TLE Food Laboratory,
Speech Laboratory, 2-CL Computer Laboratory and 5 CL buildings, perimeter fence,
guard house, covered pathway, ground gravelling, levelling and concreting to name a
few had greatly advanced the status of both teachers and students to a higher pedestal.
The school has been recognized region wide and even nationwide with its great
academic achievement having produced students and teachers excelling in various
fields.
The school at present offers five curricula, namely, Science, Technology &
Engineering (STE), Special Program in the Arts (SPA) Curriculum, K-12
Enhanced- Basic Education Curriculum, Sports- Enhanced Curriculum (SEC)
and Special Education (SpEd).
Meanwhile, success has been achieved in various academic and skills
competition. These were to the added laurels bagged by this pillar of excellence.
3. Type of School
4. Curriculum
The school offers five curricula in the Junior High School to address varied
interests of students. These are: (1) the Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum
(EBEC), the Science, Technology & Engineering Program (STE), Special Program
in the Arts (SPA), Sports-Enhanced Curriculum (SEC), and Special Education
(SpEd).
The RBEC is the mainstream curriculum, hence it has the most number of
enrolees yearly. Students who are inclined in numbers and the sciences take the
Engineering and Science Education Program.
Entrants of this special curriculum must obtain the required cut-off score in the
Science Admission Test (SAT) administered to 200 top scorers of the General
Admission Test (GAT). At present, the school maintains two sections per year level
under this curriculum with 40 students each.
On the other hand, The Special Program in the Arts is offered to students with
artistic inclinations. Under this curriculum students have a variety of specializations to
choose from, namely: music- vocal, music- instrumental, dance, visual arts, theatre arts,
and creative writing. The Special Program in Sports was initially implemented this
School Year 2012-2013 wherein potential athletes were carefully screened to form one
section for every year level while the Special Education caters to students with learning
disabilities. Students who belong to this curriculum are classified by exceptionality
such as the following: Mentally Retarded (MR), Learning Disabled (LD), Behavior
Problems (BP), Hearing Impairment (HI), Visual Impairment (VI), Autistics (AU),
Speech Defective (SD), Orthopedically Handicapped (OH), Multiple Handicapped
(MH), Chronically Ill (CI), and Developmental Handicapped (DH).
Those who are enrolled in SPED are accepted as regular students in the different
curricula. However, they are required to attend special classes designed to address their
specific limitations.
The K-12 Curriculum is initially implemented during the School Year 2012-
2013. The Understanding by Design (UBD)-based approach started two years back is
now on its sixth year.
CCNHS is adept on implementing curricular changes since it is cognizant on
educational reforms fitted to the demands of time.
Moreover, CCNHS is two years ahead of other schools in the country in the
implementation of the Senior High School Program.
Inspired by the pragmatic side of the program and on numerous testimonies by
graduates of the 12-year Basic Education Program, the school administration and
teaching staff, after having conducted bench-marking activities in three institutions,
namely: Bukig National Agricultural and Technical School, in Aparri, Cagayan;
University of Makati in Manila; and San Pedro Relocation Center National High School
in San Pedro, Laguna mustered enough courage to dry run the program in School Year
2014-2015 in the Technical Vocational & Livelihood Education (TVL) track offering
two specializations: Computer Hardware Servicing (NC-II) and Food Processing (NC-
II).
To realize this pet project of the school head, massive info-drive on the benefits
of the Senior High School Program was done in several occasions involving various
stakeholders. Symposia on career pathways were also held to align course preference
of students with their skills and abilities to avoid job mismatch in the future which is
the main culprit in matters of high incidence of unemployment in the country.
The Local Government of Cauayan City thru City Mayor Bernard Dy had also
appropriated initial funding in the amount of P 500,000.00 pesos which was utilized
during the benchmarking activities and in the procurement of tools, equipment and
paraphernalia in Food Processing and Computer Hardware Servicing.
In March 2016, the school produced the first batch of senior high school
graduates: 12 in Food Processing and 4 in Computer-Hardware Servicing all of whom
passed the NC-II administered by the Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority thereby registering a record high 100 per cent passing rate.
This first batch registered an employment rate of 87.5% since none of them
continue their college studies.
Banking on this achievement, the school administration was inspired all the
more to accept a bigger challenge- implementing the SHSP in June 2016 offering the
following tracks and strands:
I. Academic
a. Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM)
b. Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM)
c. Humanities and Social Sciences (HumSS)
d. General Academic Strand (GAS)
II. Technical, Vocational Livelihood (TVL)
a. Industrial Arts- Carpentry
b. Home Economics- Hairdressing, Care-giving, Bread & Pastry
c. Information & Communications Tech. – Animation & Programming
III. Arts & Design
a. Dance
b. Music
The construction of the three (3) units two-storey, eight-CL buildings shall have
been finished by May 2016. The school is expecting around 1,000 enrolees in the three
tracks 60% of whom come from grade 10 completers of the school while the remaining
40% come from other public and private schools within Cauayan City and neighboring
towns in Congressional Districts II & III of the the Province of Isabela.
Twenty-four sections will be formed and at least 41 senior high school teachers
will be hired to handle the different subjects.
B. COMMUNITY PROFILE
1. HISTORY OF CAUAYAN
Cauayan is a city in Isabela situated in the center of this big and naturally rich
province. The town got its name from the word “Cauayan” meaning bamboo in the
dialect of Gaddang, the early settlers of this place. How it got its name is told vaguely
by the natives in the tale about how the early Spaniards who reached the place found
abundant growths of bamboo trees along creeks that circled the town site namely Bulod,
Sipat, Bungkol, and Marabulig creeks where few families lived. It was also a common
sight to see crocodiles basking under the cluster of bamboo along the creeks in the early
morning sun.
Cauayan used to be a big municipality in terms of land area, however, with the
creation of the neighbouring municipalities of Luna (Antatet) Cabatuan, Reina
Mercedes (Callering), Aurora and San Mateo, its land area was reduced to about 336.40
square kilometres.
Vague and little information gathered from living descendants of the early
inhabitants tell that few families lived in the place and three of the early natives were
Enrique Baligod, Sebastian Canciller and Salvador Macaballug. Enrique Baligod was
the head of the group of the early settlers. He was succeeded by Sebastian Canciller
who served for two terms as “Gobernadorcillo.”
In 1866, a friar by the name of the Father Paulino became the curate of the town.
He put up “quita” or chapel, preached God’s words and baptized the people. He put
semblance of government by appointing Fructuoso Gannaban as Gobernadorcillo.
Sparse settlements are found along the Cagayan River and these barrios were
Turayong, Labinab, Duminit, Baringin and Culalabat, believed to be the first barrios of
Cauayan. Father Miguel Bonnet replaced Fr. Paulino who left for Manila. He proved to
be a good missionary of God and leader. It was during his leadership that a big adobe
and stone church was constructed.
As the years passed, the town became well-known for its tobacco industry luring
other inhabitants from as far as Ilocos and Pangasinan to work on vast tobacco
farmlands of the Tabacalera’s Hacienda de San Luis.
Historical structures still visible to this day are the big adobe stone church
located at the Poblacion and the Tabacalera warehouse and La Insular bodegas found
at barangay Turayong that date their construction during the Spanish rule.
With the establishment of the government under the United States of America,
Don Domingo Damatan was appointed as the first “presidente municipal.” During the
Commonwealth, or transitory period before independence the town had the following
elected municipal mayors: Guillermo Blas and Federico Acio. The first elected
municipal mayor after the inauguration of the Republic of the Philippine was Mayor
Jose Africano.
It was during the administration of Mayor Faustino N. Dy, from 1964 to 1972,
that the municipality started to bounce from a rather slow development. The town’s
development continued at an even faster pace under Mayor Benjamin G. Dy, (1983-
1992), who envisioned the municipality to become a city. This vision became a reality
under Mayor Faustino G. Dy, III who saw through the introduction of House Bill No.
3163 to Congress resulting in the passage of Republic Act No. 9017 and which was
signed by Her Excellency, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on February 28, 2001.
Cauayan became a component city of the Province of Isabela after it was ratified
in a plebiscite by a majority vote on March 30, 2001. Thus, Mayor Faustino G. Dy, III
was the last municipal mayor and the first to seat as City Mayor of the City of Cauayan,
Isabela in hold over capacity while Mayor Caesar G. Dy was the first-ever elected City
Mayor of Cauayan.
2. SOCIO-CULTURAL
The City Fiesta and the Feast of Our lady of the Pillar are celebrated annually
on April 10-13 and October 10-12 respectively. Since its conversion into a component
city on March 30, 2001, the City Government started to celebrate its founding
anniversary with the conduct of “Gawagaway-yan Festival aimed to preserve the rich
cultural heritage of the city. It is highlighted by street dancing, beauty contest, trade
fair, cultural parade, parlor games, free concert, band exhibition and other variety shows
performed by local and Manila-based talents as well.
3. POLITICAL
These are: Districts I, II and III, Turayong, Cabaruan, Tagaran, Alicaocao, San
Fermin, Minante I and Minante II and Marabulig I. These barangays serve as feeder of
the school.
Moreover, the 65 barangays are politically grouped into six regions, namely:
poblacion, East Tanap, West Tanap, East Tabacal, West Tabacal and Forest Region.
4. GEOGRAPHICAL
5. DEMOGRAPHY
The city of Cauayan has a household population of 103,862 grouped into a total
number of 21,143 households as per report of the 2000 National Census and Statistics.
It accounted for 8.073% of the total population of the province of Isabela and
ranked 3rd in the population scoreboard of the province. The average family size is 5,
lower compared to the national average of six (6).
The average population growth rate of the city follows an arithmetic geometric
increase of 2.35% per year based on population figures in 1995 to 2000. This is higher
than the provincial, regional and the national population average growth rates of 2.25%,
2.25% and 2.36 %, respectively.
Population Density
Productive population are those with ages between 15 and 64 years, while
dependent population are those with ages below 15 years (young dependent) and those
with ages more than 65 years (old dependent). As of the 2000 figures, the ratio of
dependent to productive population is 1:07 which means that there are more productive
population which is a good indicator for growth potential.
Projected Population
With a growth rate of 2.35% per year and using the baseline population figure
in 2000, the population is expected to double in 30 years (up to year 2030).
The projected population of the city at the end of the plan period (2009) is
127,785.

The graph shows that some causes why students left the school were
due to various family problems they encountered, lack of allowance,
and sickness. Such contributed a lot to the drop-out rate of the school
for the last three years. On the other hand, the number of drop-outs is
significantly very low compared to the number of enrollees. This is due
to the home visitations done by the classroom advisers.

Who provides the learning environment?
When can a school be called a ‘Child-friendly School’?
What exactly is a Child-friendly School and how can our school become one?
What should a Child-friendly School aim to achieve?
Many of us look at school as a place for serious learning but rarely as a place for one to
enjoy learning activities and have a say in what one needs and wants to learn.
When you were in school, were you ever consulted as to what you wanted to learn and how
you wanted to learn them? If you were lucky enough to have been asked, were you able to
freely suggest ways and activities by which you could learn more effectively?
Rights and enjoyment are perhaps words often left out of any student handbook or school
circular. Now that you are a teacher, principal or parent, are you the type who believes that
being ‘soft’ on children will only make them learn or study less? Or that giving them ‘choices’
and allowing them to express themselves freely will only diminish discipline – discipline to
make them sit up and listen to their lessons?
Each of us probably has his or her own idea or approach to education and how we can make
children ‘learn’. Regardless of the differences in our opinions, many of us would probably
agree that SCHOOL IS FOR CHILDREN. Perhaps, we could further firm up this agreement
by coming up with some common definitions...
What is a school?
Let us consult our dictionaries. Do you have one in your school? All dictionaries would
probably contain any or some of the following definitions: 1) an institution devoted primarily
to imparting knowledge or developing certain skills; 2) the building or buildings in which
instruction is given; 3) any sphere or means of instruction.
Since it is safe to agree that ‘school’ is for those needing or seeking knowledge or instruction,
it should be primarily composed of learners or pupils.
Where there are pupils, there should also be teachers who care for children, provide for their
learning needs, and nurture their interests.
Then, there is the physical school – the school building and its facilities – classrooms,
gymnasium or activity area, grounds for young children to romp and play, toilet facilities,
drinking fountains, and the like.
Did we miss anything? Well, yes there’s still one more and probably the most important one
of all. It’s all people and things that we’ve mentioned combined...and more. It is called the
learning environment. The learning environment is more than just the sum total of all
these – people (pupils and teachers) and things around them – parents, brothers, sisters,
other relatives, and other people and things in the community where the school is located.
When all these INTERACT, and interact FAVORABLY with each other, a lot of wonderful things
can happen to the child’s learning. Remember that learning does not only occur within the
four walls of a classroom. Learning continues when the pupil returns from school to his or
her family, mingles with the neighbors and playmates, runs an errand to the sari-sari store,
attends with his or her family a religious service at their place of worship, and does tens of
other things. A healthy learning environment not only enhances the child’s academic
achievement but also ensures his or her physical, psychological, social, and emotional
growth.
School principals, teachers, parents and families, community institutions such as your local
barangay council, other community members and the children themselves support each
other in creating and enhancing the ‘learning environment’.
A Child-friendly School is more than just a place for formal learning. Foremost, it is an
institution that recognizes and respects the range of rights of children, and not just their
right to be educated. These rights also include their rights to be healthy, to be given
opportunities for play and leisure, to be protected from harm and abuse, to express their
views freely, and to participate in decision-making according to their evolving capacities.
While upholding children’s rights, a Child-friendly School also instills in children the
resposibilities that go with their rights. Among these are to respect the rights of others,
respect diversity, practice equality, and resolve differences without resorting to violence.
Just as important, a Child-friendly School takes the lead in shaping a learning environment
that enables children to learn as much as their intellectual faculties could take. It is a kind
of environment that allows them to grow healthy, equips them with knowledge and skills
that they can use throughout life, and enables them to become responsible and productive
members of their community and society.
What exactly is a ‘Child-friendly School’ and how can our school become one?
engages the support and interaction of community institutions and other individuals
- enlists the support of community institutions and individuals for its projects and
activities for children
- acts on behalf of and upholds the interests of children in community assemblies
WHAT SHOULD A CHILD-FRIENDLY SCHOOL AIM TO ACHIEVE?
The following checklist contains action items that will guide you through what you need to
have or need to do towards accomplishing the seven goals of the Child-friendly School.
See how many of the action items listed under each goal you have accomplished or are doing
on a regular basis. Tick the box before each action item if you have accomplished this. Add
up and write your total in the box after each goal. By checking what your school already
has and what it is doing regularly, you will be able to track your progress towards becoming
a Child-friendly School.
You may already be well along the way to becoming a Child-friendly School! Remember
though that you have to be honest with your answers!

The Goal has 5 action items. If you scored 3 points, give yourself a blue heart; if
you scored 4 points, give yourself a purple heart; if you scored 5 points, give yourself
a red heart. If you scored lower than 3 points, don’t color the heart. But take heart
(pardon the expression), there are still six goals to assess and you might just do
better with the next ones.
(Note: If you do not have crayons or color pens or pencils, you can just mark the
inside of the heart with a B for Blue, P for Purple, or R for Red)
This Goal has 17 action items. If you scored 10-11 points, give yourself a blue heart;
if you scored 12-14 points, give yourself a purple heart; if you scored 15-17 points,
give yourself a red heart. If you scored lower than 10 points, don’t color the heart.
Did you do better this time?
This Goal has 4 action items. If you scored 2 points, give yourself a blue heart; if
you scored 3 points, give yourself a purple heart; if you scored 4 points, give yourself
a red heart. If you scored lower than 2 points, don’t color the heart. We’re midway
through the test. Let’s see how you score with the rest!
This Goal has 8 action items. If you scored 6 points, give yourself a blue heart; if
you scored 7 points, give yourself a purple heart; if you scored 8 points, give yourself
a red heart. If you scored lower than 6 points, don’t color the heart. Hope you’re
racking up those points!
This Goal has 8 action items. If you scored 4-5 points, give yourself a blue heart; if
you scored 6-7 points, give yourself a purple heart; if you scored 8 points, give
yourself a red heart. If you scored lower than 4 points, don’t color the heart. Do you
think you’ll be a Child-friendly School by the end of this test?
This Goal has 9 action items. If you scored 7 points, give yourself a blue heart; if
you scored 8 points, give yourself a purple heart; if you scored 9 points, give yourself
a red heart. If you scored lower than 7 points, don’t color the heart. That’s it! Hope
you did well!
The preceding sections outlined the actions that we need to take towards
establishing a Child-friendly School. However, this is just the first step. We must
also ensure that our actions are effective enough to help us realize desired outcomes
for children in the context of the Child-friendly School System.
We may also call these desired outcomes ‘targets.’ The following are the targets set
for itself by the Department of Education (DepEd). The ideal, of course, is to aim for
universal coverage or 100% attainment of these targets.
All school-age children in your community are served by the school (ages 5-
11 in ES, 12-15 in JHS, 16-17 in SHS).
All children in your school who enrolled in kinder six years ago finish Grade
6/ enrolled in Grade 7 three years ago finish Grade 10/ enrolled in Grade 11
finish Grade 12.
All your Grade 6 pupils/Grade 10/Grade 12 students pass the division,
regional, or national tests or assessments.
In addition are targets relating to the promotion of proper health and nutrition
among schoolchildren and school personnel. This follows the principle that a healthy
and well-nourished child is more ready for learning than a sickly one.
The following are the standards by which you are asked to rate your school:
Enrollment and academic achievement targets for school year (SY) 2015-
2016:
1. All school-age children in your community are served by the school (ages 5-11
in ES, 12-15 in JHS, 16-17 in SHS).
(Please check)
2. All children in your school who enrolled in Kinder six years ago finish Grade 6/
enrolled in Grade 7 three years ago finish Grade 10/ enrolled in Grade 11 finish
Grade 12.
(Please check)
3. All your Grade 6 pupils/Grade 10/Grade 12 students pass the division, regional,
or national tests or assessments.
(Please check)

On these pages, you will tally your scores in the two assessment categories.
To rate yourself for Action Items done (pages __), assign the following points to
your colored hearts:
SCORE 16
Enter and add up your scores for Accomplishing Specific Targets (pages __) here.
SCORE 15
TOTAL SCORE 31
If you got a total of at least 25 points but lower than 30 points, you are a CHILD-
FRIENDLY SCHOOL!
If you got at least 30 points but lower that 35 points, you are an OUTSTANDING
CHILD-FRIENDLY SCHOOL!!
If you got 35 points or higher, you are indeed a VERY OUTSTANDING CHILD-
FRIENDLY SCHOOL!!!
To all of you who made it, CONGRATULATIONS!!! To those who didn’t, you can
try to do better next school year.
Now make sure that you do this every school year to see if you are keeping with
or improving your performance.
Thank you for answering this little test. Until next time when we include other
action items and targets in our list! Becoming a Child-friendly School is easy,
don’t you agree?
