Mission Statement
W
e, the members of the Rosehill School Community, commit ourselves to the integral formation of our students. We live up to this commitment
by providing our students a solid academic program that pursues
excellence; and by inculcating Christian ideals in our students to
enable them to be of service to God and society.
Our mission is founded on close home-school collaboration. We put premium
on the formation of parents as primary educators of their children. We
complement this through the formation of teachers who are the parents’ active partners in their children’s education. We also provide formation to others in the academic community who are the firm support of the parents and teachers.

All the members of the school community are enabled to become the best that they can be.
ur parents are the first educators of their children. They recognize this role and actively participate in the continuous formation of their children and of themselves as parents.

The School Seal
The GOLD COLOR shows the value encompassing the education the school provides.
parents, teachers and students.
The GREEN HILL signifies the fertile hills of Antipolo and the arduous but worthwhile climb in the quest for excellence.
The BLUE BACKGROUND refers to the nobility of the undertaking. The VINTA (an ancient Filipino watercraft) symbolizes the role of the school in every student’s journey towards a life of knowledge and wisdom.
The RED BACKGROUND signifies the school’s affinity to life—living vibrantly while nurturing others. The TWO ROSES signify femininity and strength. The big and small roses symbolize genuine sisterhood in Rosehill.
The THREE STARS symbolize the guiding principles in PAREF Rosehill education:

History and Philosophy AREF (Parents for Education Foundation) was established in 1975 as an initiative of parents and educators to operate schools that recognize parents as the primary educators of their children. The founders of PAREF have introduced in the country a personalized system of education which is the hallmark of all PAREF Schools.
acter formation. Hence, through this system, the family and the school work together in the educative process.
P
This system of education was first developed in Europe in the 1950s when Saint JosemarĂa EscrivĂĄ, Founder of Opus Dei, encouraged parents to perform their educative and formative role towards their children with greater responsibility. It is being implemented in many learning institutions in different countries throughout the world, such as United States, Australia, Mexico, Spain, Italy and Ireland.
The personalized system of education is carried out primarily through the mentoring system which ensures the integration of academic input and char-

Rosehill first opened its doors to three- and four-year old boys and girls who attended the Nursery and Kindergarten levels in a home at the corner of E. Abada and B. Gonzales, Loyola Heights, Quezon City, in 1990. The following year, Rosehill opened its grade school for girls. The school moved shortly after to a two-hectare site, a donation of a generous benefactor in Mission Hills, Antipolo in 1993. The school moved progressively on to offering a high school curriculum for girls. The first set of high school students graduated on March 25, 2003.
Today, Rosehill continues to serve the community through its educators who commit themselves to the ideals of their profession, and through the families who share their vision that education remains primarily with the child’s parents. Together they give premium to the integral human formation through effective home-school collaboration. The chaplains of PAREF schools are priests of Opus Dei, a Personal Prelature of the Catholic Church whose mission is to help all people live the call to holiness in their daily work and family duties.

his handbook is for you. It’s a summary of things about Rosehill and what you should know as a student in the primary school.
Try your best to do what your school expects of you. Your Class Adviser will discuss this handbook with you and your classmates. If there is anything you find difficult to understand, tell your mentor and she will gladly help you find the answers.
T
This handbook is really like a friendly guide. Many things you would like to know about what a day is like in Rosehill can be found here. Read and understand each item carefully.
Please don’t forget to share this handbook with your family, too!

GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL
Did I get up on time?
...take a hearty breakfast?
...brush my teeth? …say a short prayer to greet the new day?
z 10
Now I'm all set for school!
...comb my hair?
...wear a complete uniform? ...fix my bag to make sure I have everything?
z 11
Line Formation When we hear the bell ring, it’s time to stop playing. Classes are about to begin. On the first bell, we line up outside our classroom and raise our arms forward. On the second bell, we put our hands down and observe silence. On the third bell, we go inside our classrooms and stand beside our desks until the teacher comes in.
z 12
Flag Ceremony To show love for our country, Rosehill students and teachers assemble for the Flag Ceremony every Monday (High School Department) or every Tuesday morning (Elementary Department). We sing the Lupang Hinirang; recite the Panatang Makabayan, the Rosehill Prayer and the Morning Offering. After some announcements, we also sing the Rosehill Alma Mater Hymn.
z 13
The Class Adviser The Class Adviser takes care of all the pupils in her class. We greet her properly when she enters the classroom. We greet her, too, when we see her on campus. We listen and talk to her with respect and treat her things with care. We tell her when we need to leave the classroom. We also tell her if we are not feeling well. She is always ready to help.
z 14
The Mentor
Like an older friend, our individual mentor helps us better understand what we learn at home and in school. She helps us better understand ourselves and others. We are open with her as we would of any friend. She is there to help us.
The School Uniform
The daily uniform consists of a plaid skirt in red, green and blue shades, a matching white blouse, and a bow tie. It is worn with full undergarments. The skirt reaches just below the knee. School shoes must be black leather and plain,
z 15
worn with pure white socks folded just above the ankles. Another uniform is worn for Physical Education, or PE. The loose-fitting blue jogging pants and white T-shirt allow you to move freely and comfortably. They are worn with a pair of white rubber shoes and white sports socks. We remember to bring our PE uniforms when we need them, as we are not allowed to borrow from schoolmates. If we are not wearing the prescribed uniform during a PE class, points will be deducted from our PE
grade for that day. The school uniform reflects the dignity that Rosehill School expects of its stu dents. So we wear the uniform with mo desty and simplicity. We do not use the uniform in public places; do not wear it with slippers; and do not use the skirt or blouse with other items of clothing that are not part of the uniform. We also do not mo dify the uniform’s overall design for costume purposes even in school events such as programs, theater and cheering dances. If we are asked to wear a non-
z 16
uniform attire for field trips or other events that happen during school hours, we may already wear that attire instead of the uniform when we come to school, unless told otherwise. On occasions when we come to school in casual clothes that are modest line with the dignity and Rosehill students.
are allowed to wear, we wear and simple, in naturalness of
Study Materials We cover our books and notebooks and label them with our names. We bring the books and notebooks we need for the day, as well as any materials necessary. We keep them neatly in our school bags and arrange them properly in our cubbyholes. We keep our checked activity sheets, quizzes and tests in our accordion envelope so that retrieving them for review is easier.
z 17
Toys, tape recorders, CD players, iPods and magazines are brought only when they are needed for class activities. We inform our Class Adviser ahead of time when we need to bring any of these from home. If we lose anything, we inform our teacher immediately. She may ask us to look in the classroom’s lost-and-found box, or at the reception area. When we find cash or valuables, we turn them in at the Business Office.
z 18
Tardiness and Absences
No. of times late
We are punctual in coming to school. Coming on time helps us be alert and ready for studying. If we arrive later than 7:50 am, our attendance record will be marked “late� by the teacher. We always explain the reason(s) for coming late. Our Class Adviser is always interested to know what keeps us from coming on time. Tardiness will be reflected in the Diligence and Responsibility section of the Personal Development Grade, as follows:
0-2 3-4 5-6 7-9 10 or more
Outstanding Very Good Good Satisfactory Needs Improvement
If we were absent, we bring a letter of excuse as soon as we are back at school. We catch up with the lessons we have missed. We request our teacher for the lessons covered while away, and ask her how and when we can make up for the tests missed. If we are sick, our teacher gives us the necessary time to catch up on lessons missed.
z 19
Responsibility
School Work A lot of classroom learning is done by listening well, so we are attentive to what is said and done in class. • We raise our right hand and stand up promptly when called. • We speak clearly and slowly. • We listen to each other and share our ideas. School can be exciting and fun for those of us who really want to learn.
z 20
• Homework aids us in our after-school learning. We do them promptly and carefully so we can submit them on time.
• We write clearly and neatly, and take notes carefully. Complete and welltaken notes are always very useful. • We read a lot. This increases our vocabulary and helps us understand what we read. We try to write a journal or a blog. Writing well is an important life-long skill.
The Learning Areas We have the following learning disciplines in the Primary Grades:
• When we get home, we go over our notes for the day. We try to understand the main ideas of each subject, then summarize what we have learned.
z 21
• The basis of a simple and deep love for God and others through the study of the Catholic faith in Religion. • Competence in observation and critical thinking through the study of nature and the environment in Science.
• Competence in reading comprehension, the gateway to one’s horizon, and in oral and written expression, tools for communicating the truth, through Reading, Language and Filipino. • Competence in calculation and problem-solving skills in Mathematics. • Understanding of our cultural heritage and responding to the needs of the community through Social Studies. • Physical development that fosters a sportive attitude and healthy lifestyle through Physical Education.
z 22
• The awakening of the aesthetic sense, of the aspiration for truth and beauty, and the development of worthwhile leisure pursuits through the study and experience of Music and Art.
Programs and Field Trips The school organizes field trips and outdoor activities to provide greater learning opportunities. To participate, written permission from our parents is required. We turn over the permission slips to our Class Adviser once our parents sign them.
During field trips, we enjoy these opportunities, while helping keep an eye on our fellow classmates. We always try to keep ourselves within the view of the group monitor or teacher. As in any school activity, we are expected to behave well in programs, talks, etc. Listening attentively and learning how to applaud at the right time are well-mannered ways of showing appreciation for the guest speaker. Other extra- and co-curricular activities include the choir, performances, academic week, a sports festival, and community service projects.
z 23
These stand for the following:
The Grading System The school year is divided into four quarters or grading periods. At the end of each quarter, we all take examinations for each subject area. If we do not take any of the tests without valid reasons, we run the risk of failing the subject. Taking the quarterly examinations ahead of time is also not allowed. At the end of each quarter, our teachers give us grades in academic and behavioral performance. Letter marks appear on our report cards.
A Outstanding A- Very Good B Good B- Satisfactory C Needs Improvement F Fail
Character and Personality Formation A major part of our learning is geared towards the formation of human virtues, such as sincerity, industriousness, responsibility, respect, and service to others.

Norms of Conduct Rosehill wants and helps us to have an exemplary conduct. Behaving well brings joy to God, our parents, teachers, classmates and ourselves.
z 27
When we do not follow school rules or hurt others, the teachers apply the opportune correction. If the misdeed continues despite warnings and correction, the school will call our parents.
Criteria on Promotion
Repeated and serious acts of disrespect and disobedience lower our Personal Development Grade (PDG). Repeated and serious acts of dishonesty in tests and exams shall lower our grades in that subject and in the PDG.
• A pupil who successfully meets the requirements of the academic and personal development program of her level is promoted to the next grade. • A Grade 3 pupil who gets a failing grade in any two of the major skills subjects (Reading, Mathematics and Language) repeats the year, even if her general average is passing. • A pupil whose general average is failing, i.e., 74% or below, repeats the grade level.
z 28
SYSTEM OF AWARDS Quarterly Awards • A Gold Certificate is given to a pupil who has a quarterly general average of A in Academics; O or at least a VG in Personal Development • A Silver Certificate is given to a pupil who has a quarterly general average of A- in Academics and O or VG in Personal Development.
z 29
Year-End Awards • A Gold medal is given to a pupil who has a general average of A in Academics, and at least a VG in Personal Development, regardless of the number or kind of certificates she has received during the school year. • A Silver Medal is given to a pupil who has a final grade of A- in the Academics, and at least a VG in Personal Development, regardless of the number or kind of certificates she has received during the school year.
The teaching faculty and the Management Committee deliberate on the candidates for quarterly and year-end awards. A pupil is disqualified from receiving any award if she gets a grade lower than a B in any major subject or a general average lower than VG in Personal Development.
What really counts is our effort to study, work and be of help to others. We do our work as best we can in recitation, quizzes, homework and tests. We treat everyone our parents, mentors, teach-
z 30
ers, classmates and school personnel—with respect and kindness. We do our share in making our classroom a bright and cheerful place for learning. We work and study extraordinarily well. We do the best of the talents God has given us.
Policy on Media Exposure We are aware that a Rosehill stu dent who wishes to participate in any form of publicity or exposure through the mass me dia (whether in print, au dio or film) must first seek the permission of the school Management Committee.
Certain guidelines, available with the Executive Director, are followe d when a stu dent is given permission. This is part of Rosehill’s thrust to keep and safeguard the goo d name of the school and its stu dents, as well as its right to promote mass media pro ductions that are decent and wholesome. These inclu de commercial advertisements, beauty pageants, music and dance festivals, stage plays, appearance in film or television, radio programs and other forms of mass communication and public entertainment.
z 31
• Buying and selling or exchanging items with classmates.
Some Unnecessary Practices To avoid distractions, comparison among students, and unnecessary social pressure on parents, the following are not allowed within school premises: • Holding birthday parties. • Giving souvenirs and loot bags to classmates. • Giving gifts to individual teachers on any occasion. Rather, donations to the school are most welcome. • Bringing toys, gadgets, and other items not needed for school.
z 32
• Wearing of excessive accessories or expensive pieces of jewelry. • Using cellular phones without permission. Phones are turned in to the Class Adviser in the morning, and retrieved during dismissal. • Visiting the homes of school authorities, teachers or mentors. (School-related matters are best taken up in school during office hours.) • Having a nanny, driver or maid around in school during class hours. Instead, they are requested to
wait in a designated area until the dismissal of their wards. • Private academic tutorial service from among the teaching staff.
The School Diary The school provides us with a diary at the beginning of the school year. We use it for: • Writing reflections or lessons learned in class discussions. • Writing the class motto and/or our personal reflections about the Virtue of the Month. • Noting down announcements made in class.
z 33
• Jotting down the tasks we want to accomplish during the day. • Keeping track of the scores of our quizzes and tests. • Planning the schedule of quizzes and submission of school requirements. • Marking special days like birthdays, field trips, anniversaries, and feast days. The diary also ser ves as a tool of communication between the school and the home. Mentors, teachers and parents may use it, so we show it to them daily for any notes or messages. We also ask our parents to sign the diary each day.
Communication from School Occasionally, we receive circular letters announcing updates and certain school events. We file them in our communication folder and we show them to our parents once we get home. We let them sign the reply slip and return the slip to our Class Adviser the next day.
Daily School Dismissal Hours Our classes end at 2:10 in the afternoon. We leave the room as neatly and orderly

as we can. The school bus is considered an extension of the school. We always give the driver and bus mother the courtesy that they deserve.
Suspension of classes
• Declaration of cancelled classes in Antipolo, either by the Department of Education or the municipal mayor.
Rosehill cancels classes under the following conditions:
• At the school’s discretion, as necessary, under certain circumstances.
• Storm signal # 2 during which PAGASA automatically cancels classes in the elementary and high school levels. • Cancellation of classes by the Department of Education in Pasig and Quezon City, regardless of
The Management Committee through the Parent Coordinators shall relay to the parent any announcements on the discretionary cancellation of classes. Parents may also call the school guard.
z 35
Care of the Classroom A neat classroom is important for learning, so everyone keeps it clean and tidy. The school is like our second home. We take care of its facilities and keep them in good working condition. We report broken items to our teacher, so the school can have them repaired. We do not leave marks, scratches, or stains on the walls and tables. We are considerate of other people who also use them. Classmates take turns in fulfilling classroom chores such as erasing the blackboard, sweeping the floor, switching off the fans and wiping the dust off chairs and tables.
z 36
School Library The Library is another classroom where we ask questions and find answers in books, computers and other media. It is a quiet place of study. In the librar y, we consult bo oks an d other learning materials when stu dying or do ing homework. Usually, there are other bo oks calle d references that can tell us more things about what we have just learne d. We ask for assistance from the librarian to help us locate bo oks we might want to read or borrow.
z 37
We han dle the materials w ith care an d return them on time. We pay a daily fine for overdue bo oks.
Cafeteria Services We either bring packed lunch and snacks to school, or buy food from the cafeteria. We are considerate of the staff who attends to our needs on a first -come, first-ser ved basis. We line up and wait patiently for our turn. We remember our table manners. We don’t play or shout when eating. We also remember to clean up after eating and
z 38
to segregate our trash in the various garbage bins provided.
Washrooms We make the extra effort to keep this place tidy for the sake of others using it. We flush toilets and turn off faucets when they are not in use.
z 39
Medical and Dental Clinics When we do not feel well, we ask permission from our teacher to go to the clinic. She gives us a Clinic Pass. We bring our school diary and present it to the school nurse or doctor. Upon returning to the classroom, we show our diary to the teacher. If we are advised to go home, our parents are contacted so they can make arrangements for someone to get us.
z 40
Chapel and Shrine The school has a chapel where we can drop by during the day. We genuflect before the Blesse d Sacrament upon entering and leaving. We maintain a respectful silence to facilitate prayer and dialogue with Go d. It has been our custom to offer flowers at the shrine of the Blesse d Virgin Mary on her feast days. We do this to show veneration, gratitu de and devotion to the Mother of Go d, who is also our Mother. Visiting her in the shrine anytime during the day will surely make us pleasing daughters of our Lady.

Parental Involvement at Rosehill The formation of children is primarily the responsibility of parents and is determined to a great extent by the personal example of the parents themselves. The role of parents in Rosehill School stems from their identity and mission as parents of their children. Therefore, their most natural role is the sharing of vision and principles that guide the educational institution. There must be unity of values and coherence in what is being demanded from the girls at home and in school. The basis of this partnership is a
z 43
loyal and mutual understanding of each other’s complementary roles. Parental involvement in our school signifies the willingness of parents to improve in the field of parenting and forming their children, both in theory and practice. The school provides resources, such as talks, workshops and family enrichment courses, that parents will hopefully use to their utmost advantage. Making good use of these resources will help parents see their role more clearly, strengthen their positive convictions and renew their motivation to put them into practice.
Parental collaboration in our school signifies the cooperation of parents with the mentor to effectively set goals for their daughters' personal development. The school advises parents to come in regularly for the chat with the mentor, which are scheduled at least three times a year. Apart from formal interviews, the mentor is available to talk with parents whenever necessary. The school occasionally invites parents to perform certain tasks in support of its educational endeavor. The girls are happy seeing their parents do so because it expresses oneness with the school in a concrete way.
z 44
The School Board and Management Committee ensure that Rosehill remains true to its vision and mission. For this reason, parental involvement does not inclu de decision-making on school policies and their application, although parents’ inputs are welcome. The school authorities fulfill its commitment to the philosophy and spirit upon which Rosehill School was founded.
z 45
How parents can help ensure their children's success
• Stress safety and respect, which require good behavior in school, in the bus, or in the car pool.
As a parent, you can help ensure your child’s success in many ways: • Ensure that your daughter comes to school ready to learn, that is, she has had a good night’s sleep, has taken a nutritious breakfast, has done her homework, and has a positive attitude towards school. • Encourage punctuality and regular attendance at school.
z 46
• Help her come up with a schedule for studying and doing homework, preferably in a quiet place to stimulate thinking. • Keep track of her progress in knowledge and skills; and learn to encourage, praise and challenge your child positively. Inform the school of your daughter’s health problems, if any.
• Work collaboratively with her mentor, class adviser and teachers. Read and take note of the communications from the school; sign the reply slips. • Read aloud with her. This will help broaden her mind and be appreciative of other people, places and culture. • Attend seminars on parent education, participate in the school’s outreach projects; make her feel that you are a partner with the school in the common endeavor of forming her well.
z 47
• Know her talents and interests. Help her develop a wholesome leisure pursuit and encourage her to excel in it. • Help your child accept that making mistakes and facing challenges are part of growing and learning. Share good times and hard times together. • Communicate and interact with her frequently. Ask her what she does, and tell her what you do. Provide regular opportunities for a pleasant exchange of stories and ideas. The style may differ as she grows up, but stay involved in her life.
• Pray for all your children, and pray with them. • Make everyday a family day and weekends even more special.
Steps to Take When Faced with Concerns about Your Child Knowing whom to approach depends upon the nature of the concern a parent may have. The parent-mentor relationship is the natural means to ensure that home and school work together harmoniously and effectively. The parents may at anytime request for an appointment with the
mentor, during which concerns regarding the child’s behavior and over-all personal development are taken up. If parents have concerns regarding the child’s lesson, they may talk directly with the subject teacher. The following steps can serve as a guide for requesting such clarifications: First Step: When it is a question regarding the lesson or a concern where the teacher can offer assistance, please make an appointment with the teacher or Class Adviser (you may see them before or after classes) to discuss the matter. A frank and open discussion
z 48
can often clear up the matter and lead to a solution. Second Step: If after conscientious efforts and sufficient time have passed and the problem remains unsolved, you may consider requesting for an appointment with the Level Coordinator. Third Step: If the problem remains unsolved even after consultations with the teacher and the Level Coordinator, another step may be taken. The parents may refer the problem, as well as all efforts to solve them, to the Associate Director for Academic Formation.

Lupang Hinirang Bayang magiliw, Perlas ng silanganan. Alab ng puso, Sa dibdib mo’y buhay. Lupang Hinirang, Duyan ka ng magiting. Sa manlulupig, ‘Di ka pasisiil. Sa dagat at bundok, Sa simoy at Sa langit mong bughaw;
May dilag ang tula At awit sa paglayang minamahal. Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y Tagumpay na nagniningning; Ang bituin at araw niya kailan pa ma’y Di magdidilim. Lupa ng araw, Ng luwalhati’t pagsinta; Buhay ay langit sa piling mo. Aming ligaya nang pag may mang-aapi, Ang mamatay ng dahil sa’yo.

Susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan, Tutuparin ko ang tungkulin ng mamamayang makabayan: Naglilingkod, nag-aaral, At nagdarasal nang buong katapatan. Iaalay ko ang aking buhay, pangarap, Pagsisikap sa bansang Pilipinas.

Prayers A Rosehill Prayer to Our Lady
Morning Prayer
Mary, Our Mother, look upon Rosehill with eyes of love. We consecrate to you our plans, our hopes and our needs. Guide us all in the ways of your son, Jesus. And help Rosehill to grow in the glory of God’s kingdom. Amen.
Oh my Queen, Oh my Mother, I give myself entirely to thee. And to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate this day, my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, oh good Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, guard me, as thy property and possession. Amen.
z 52
Rosehill Alma Mater Hymn Rosehill you cradle us lovingly in your arms, guiding us tenderly through the morning star. As we journey up the hill to see our dreams fulfilled, you are the haven of our youth, mentor of integrity. Rosehill, beloved Alma Mater may we live by your vision. To lead and to serve be our life-long mission. Lord, grant us strength to carry on in this place we call home.
(Lord, grant us the strength to carry on in this place we call home) Fly victorious under your wings. To lead and to serve is our life-long mission. We’ll remember Rosehill colors fly. Mary shine your light on us (Mary shine your light on us.) Rosehill…. Rosehill colors fly gold, red, blue, green. Rosehill…. Rosehill, our beloved Alma Mater.
