Welcome Message from the School Adminl Dear Students, Parents, and Friends of Holy Child Educational Center, Inc. (HCECi): It is with enthusiasm and gladness that we welcome all of you to the start of school year 2014-2015! The first few days of school are truly a new beginning in the eyes of the HCECians.

Classmates are anxious to make new friends, learn new lessons, and participate in the many school activities available. The school, on the other hand, is ready to try great, new ideas that will make learning more interesting and enjoyable. Everyone is ready to make the most out of new challenges and new experiences.

This school year, HCECi is embracing some administrative, academic and student-related changes following last year’s external evaluation by the administration, faculty, students and parents. These changes confirmed what everyone at our school has always known : our teachers and staff are committed to providing an excellent education with high standards, and that our focus is, indeed, on learning - which reflects the strength and commitment of the entire school community to excellence.

Our students and pupils are the reason we are here and they are the reason we can never be satisfied by the status quo. What do they need for their future? As an institution, we are fully committed to creating relevant opportunities for our students to reach their full potential in a safe and secure environment.

With some innovations and proposals from the administration and positive response from the parents, as well as revised and updated K TO 12 and HCECi curricula for all preschool, grade school and high school classes, our school is perfectly prepared for building competent students that are life- long learners, creative and critical thinkers, effective communicators and productive, responsible citizens.

To accomplish this mission, we depend on the team effort created between the parents and the school. We recognize the sacrifices so many of you make to provide this opportunity for your children. Indeed, our success in ensuring that your children receive all that they need, both academically and personally, is dependent on the teamwork we engender between home and school. Let’s work together to make this school year a rewarding and joyous experience for one PB Vol. 9,  Issue No. 1 HCECi – San Jose, Iriga City and all.
