“Education no longer leads us down the same predictable paths. The challenge before us today is how to effectively work with students of the digital age, highly wired and raised in Twitter, texting, and Facebook. We must not and cannot allow them to lose their capacity for concentration, reflection, and deep thinking. Our goal is to blend modern technology with proven pedagogy.”

I began my term as President in 2010, a new decade that ushered unprecedented technology and connectivity, making all of us just a click away from the rest of the world. In the year 2010 alone, Steve Jobs had just launched the first iPad; Facebook hit its 500 million-user mark; NASA astronaut TJ Creamer made his first Tweet from space; and Instagram was launched, gaining 1 million users in just two months.

-President’s Investiture, January 28, 2011

These advances presented a very exciting time and one wondered whether they had a place in Philippine education. On the one hand, you had pundits warning about technology’s ill effects on the youth, blaming it for their poor concentration, lower grades, and social isolation. On the other hand, others stressed its revolutionary benefits as a source of information, a convenient tool for collaboration and project work, as well as a global platform for ideas and knowledgesharing. Both groups agreed that the digital age is here to stay. We could either use it to our advantage or be inordinately left behind. Innovation thus became the thrust on which many of the school’s projects and programs were anchored. Once the community got on board and a shift in thinking took shape, new possibilities began to open, one after another. We carefully sifted through ideas and chose those that were essential and meaningful in the context of Miriam College, particularly in

pushing forward girls’ education. I’d like to believe we chose our programs, partners, and projects well, and laid the foundation that supports and places “Innovation at the heart of Miriam College education.” The special pages of this Annual Report open to a gatefold that gives us a visual path of where our journey began and where it took the school, year after year. With Quality, Relevance, and Sustainability as cornerstones, together we paved an exciting road that allowed all of us— administrators, faculty, students, staff, parents, and alumni—to go out of our comfort zones, embrace new ideas, and truly understand the language of a digitized generation while complementing it with time-proven pedagogy. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the community for staying the course in fulfilling our vision despite the challenges that shaped the decade, with the K to 12 Program probably having the biggest impact of all. If anything, such sweeping education reform has proven that change is the only constant and an innovative mindset prepares us to respond creatively and with resilience in such situations. The same mindset made it possible for us to design

and build a second campus in Nuvali in 2014—now flourishing with dedicated leadership; a strong team of administrators and faculty; young, vibrant, and supportive parents; and creative and motivated students. Not only do we have growing enrollment but also our students there are constantly winning awards, scholarships, and recognition in all fields. We have just celebrated MC Nuvali’s 5th year anniversary and have been rewarded with the opportunity to once again team up with premier developer Ayala Land in their new Porac, Pampanga project. Soon, our Miriam College of the North will rise. As my term comes to an end, I am thankful for the opportunity to serve the school and to see Miriam College strong and ready for the future. I leave knowing my heart is full and my purpose fulfilled. I hope I have left behind one lasting legacy—the message that our students need to be at the center of our work and that teaching them is truly a mission.

Miriam College’s Basic Education Unit (BEU) is composed of the Child Study Center, Lower School, Middle School, High School, MCSoutheast Asian Institute for the Deaf (MC-SAID), and Miriam Adult Education (MAE). These units focus on the mission to give students meaningful experiences that fulfill their potential. Academic programs continue to emphasize Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) through innovative programs that cultivate problem-solving skills. Students engage in collaborative work and experiential learning. They are exposed to global educational contexts through local and international competitions, interactive activities with international students, and international study tours. Overall wellness is a main focus in guiding every student’s development. Aside from structures for holistic growth and intervention, peer support through programs like the Lower School’s “Buddy Bench Project” develops social sensitivity.

Having a bad day? The MC Lower School introduced the Buddy Bench project to teach young students empathy and kindness while making new friends in the process.

Steps in the new direction set for MC-SAID were in the final phase this school year as deaf students will be mainstreamed in the Miriam Adult Education (MAE). Committed to inclusive education, MAE accepted deaf students in the Junior High School, Senior High School, and Technical Vocational programs. More success stories of deaf students are anticipated as the school helps them build a promising future.

INNOVATION at the heart of MC Education

ChILd StUdY CEnTER The 5C’s of 21st century learning The Child Study Center (CSC) continues to form its learners by developing the 5C’s of 21st century learning: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Citizenship.

Two Child Study Center teams participated in the President’s Challenge with their big, bold ideas for an underprivileged community in Sitio Lipata, Caramoan. They designed portable kits with materials for tinkering and creating, and a mobile library for learning spaces. The activity helped the students understand that children from other communities do not have access to toys or educational materials like they do, instilling in them a drive to help through their portable kit designs. Love for reading is nurtured through the Read With Me program, encouraging the children and their parents to engage in regular reading time. Vocabulary, phonological and phonemic awareness, and critical thinking skills are developed through joint reading activities of students and their parents.

CSC’s Read With Me Program emphasizes on the important role of parents in encouraging kids to read more.

As the CSC inspires students to be lifelong learners, the unit focuses on developing its students in the following areas: communication, collaboration, creativity, citizenship, and critical thinking skills. To meet this goal, the faculty participated in the Design Thinking for the 21st Century Learning workshop organized by the Habi Education Lab. Teachers deepened their knowledge on engaging students in real-world and peoplecentered problem-solving. Faculty collaboration was emphasized to strengthen pedagogical expertise and align activities and skills across all levels, ensuring that academic and other development goals for students are met. Hanshin University comes to the CSC CSC welcomed college students and administrators from Hanshin University, South Korea and shared best practices with them. The

The interaction was enriching for both the young and older students, paving the way for more collaborative opportunities. Living out our core values In support of Miriam College’s environmental thrust, CSC’s

Zero-Waste program encourages students, faculty, staff, and parents to reduce waste that end up in landfills. Students bring reusable containers during snack time and class birthday parties. They also bring their reusables when buying at the canteen. Teachers, staff, and parents are also encouraged to adopt the Zero-Waste lifestyle by bringing their own containers and tumblers for take-out food even beyond the campus. These efforts reduced CSC’s trash output by 60%.

LOwEr sChooL Emphasizing joy in learning Through its Eureka! Program, the Lower School (LS) makes Math more fun, especially for those who are challenged in the subject. This year, the program was introduced once more at the STEAM Week celebration and was renamed “Math Time, Fun Time.”

The MC Lower School’s new and colorful desks that fit like puzzles allow students to collaborate, share, and interact better.

“Math Time, Fun Time” focuses on providing unique activities and is geared towards the mastery of quarterly content. The Mathematics curriculum highlights authentic experiences in applying concepts in everyday life by integrating Japanese problemsolving strategies and accessible learning materials in each classroom. Dynamic learning spaces enhance experiences for young students. This year, colorful wave-shaped classroom tables that fit like puzzles facilitated cooperative learning structure (CLS) activities in Grade 1 classrooms. Classroom learning became more enjoyable with these less traditional and more child-friendly furniture.

Recognizing that new learning tools make classroom experience more exciting, the unit sought companies that could provide such. It renewed partnerships with Felta Multimedia, Inc. for the Robotics Camp and with F&J de Jesus, Inc. for the international subscription to the award-winning online learning and resource management system, Science A. Science A is used by students in the Program for the Development and Advancement of Communication Arts and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Skills (ProDev+). Encouraging meaningful participation The Lower School fielded students to national academic competitions that help build open-mindedness, diligence, confidence, teamwork, and optimism. Students participated in the Manila Bulletin Sketchfest, Philippine Science Olympiad, Philippine Robotics Olympiad, Eye Level International Math Olympiad, and the Metrobank MTAP-DepEd Math Challenge, where the LS delegation

INNOVATION at the heart of MC Education competed with students from 46 private schools in the region. Nurturing peer support With the launch of the Girls Be Brave campaign last school year, the Assistant Principal for Student Affairs (APSA) launched the Buddy Bench program as an avenue to

promote inclusion, kindness, and listening skills among students. Whenever a student sits on a Buddy Bench, it entices other girls to ask her to play or sit beside her and listen to her. The program helps develop sensitivity, builds friendships, and strengthens peer support.

mIdDLe SchOoL The Middle School remains steadfast in developing and enhancing learner-centered programs. Conversations with the Principal, the prinicipal’s interaction with each class, focuses on wellness to promote a positive mindset. Activity feedback refines programs that provide mechanisms to improve student performance. Learning in action To make mathematics application more concrete, the PartnershipsRelated Initiative for Successful Mathematics (PRISM) was piloted in Grade 6 with familyinteractive sessions related to the subject. The students explored decimals through measurement of geometric shapes, ratio and proportion through cooking adobo, and the application of probability using coins. These activities required the participation of at least one family member. In this way, the Grade 6 students experienced mathematics tasks that support the development of positive self-concept and efficacy while spending some quality family time. Design thinking is a methodology that uses empathy, ideation, and

experimentation to come up with human-centered solutions. In the conduct of Science Investigative Projects (SIP) for Grades 6 to 8, design thinking was reinforced. Each level was given a theme for their solutions-based project. For Grade 6, it was ‘Wag Kang Plastik!; Grade 7, Safety and Security; and Grade 8, Disaster Preparedness. In two laboratory periods, the

Design thinking is integrated in the Science Investigative Projects of students, Grades 6-8, allowing them to use empathy as they try to find human-centered solutions to problems.

This requires strategies designed to meet their individual uniqueness and to tap their strengths and talents to maximize their potential. Inspired by Dr. Rosario Lapus’ initial engagement with the high school students in 2005, placing girls at the center of education remains a significant feature of the high school academic, co-curricular, extra-curricular, social action, and student formation programs. Girls at the center of S.T.E.A.M. training During the Girls-At-The-Center Week (GATC), the Science and Math Exposition or SciMax featured

INNOVATION at the heart of MC Education

mC-sOuTHEasT ASiaN InSTitUTe FoR ThE DeaF Yes, the deaf can! MC-SAID students continue to participate in activities and contests within and beyond the campus, showing that they can compete with their hearing counterparts. This year, they were among the 12 big winners out of 30 groups that competed in the school-wide “2nd President’s Challenge”. Two of their project entries got the judges’ nods for the clever use of sensors that help locate deaf people in cases of emergencies. “My Lost Finder: It’s Better to be Together” is the project title for a wristwatch proximity sensor that tracks deaf persons who may be lost or may have strayed from their companions. “Guardian Angel,” on the other hand, is a flexible undergarment sensor strip that detects above normal heart rate levels, indicating immediate danger. MC-SAID is the only unit with two winning entries in this year’s challenge. In the same competition last year, the MC-SAID team’s winning entry, called “Garbage Collector Beta-BOT,” impressed panel judge Marlon Cabral of Emerson Electric Asia so much that he invited them to tour Emerson’s facilities along with their classmates. This helped the team understand their project better and view it from a unique perspective. Emerson engineers critiqued the team’s project and suggested materials to improve their output.

MC-SAID Grade 8 students Althea Erin Bailon and Mark Julius Miranda participated in the National IT Competition 2018 for Youth with Disabilities on October 5, 2018. The competition was held at the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Valenzuela Campus. Bailon and Miranda, both first-time competitors, were mentored by Teacher Genaro “Gene” Jimenez and last year’s gold medalist, Janna Tan (Grade 10). The competition engaged participants in Information Technology (IT) problem solving, categorized in 4 groups: visual, hearing, mobility, and intellectual disabilities. Bailon received awards and cash prizes for winning 3rd place in the hearing impairment category, and 3rd place overall highest scorer among the different categories.

The MC-SAID Team, composed of Joanna Tan, Janine Morales, and Miriam Carrion, won in the 2nd President’s Challenge for “Guardian Angel,” a sensor strip that may be placed in an undergarment to detect above normal heart rate and alert a companion of danger.

Celebrating DAW on campus and beyond This year’s Deaf Awareness Week (DAW) celebrations introduced exciting activities that engaged a broader audience.

MIRIAM COLLEGE Annual Report 2018-2019 MC-SAID celebrates Deaf Awareness Week by teaching UP Town Center mall-goers how to do basic sign language.

With the theme “Signs of the Times,” the event centered on interactive activties that help break communication barriers within and beyond the campus. MC-SAID students, from Kinder to Grade 3, played interactive games with CSC students and participated in a storytelling session with the book “My Different Ears” by Caldwell Jones “CJ” Reynaldo. CJ’s life story was featured in the popular ABSCBN drama series Maalaala Mo Kaya. A sign language class and a Deaf Sensitivity Seminar was held for High School and Miriam Adult Education students, respectively. In a separate activity, Grade 10 SAID students treated members of the Personhood Club to an interpretation of the song “IDGAF” by Dua Lipa. MC-SAID teachers took the DAW celebration to neighboring Ateneo de Manila University by holding a sign language workshop for the Ateneo SPEED (Special Education Society). A special activity for this year’s celebration was the Free Sign Language Classes for the public held at the UP Town CenterAcacia Tree Garden. Around 180 enthusiastic mall-goers stopped by the venue to learn sign language and receive deaf-friendly bookmarks at the end of the session. The activity also featured sign language tutorial videos created by MC-SAID students.

Mainstreaming MC-SAID students to Miriam Adult Education Miriam College is an inclusive community providing education to deaf students across different levels. Deaf education in the school started in the 1980s at the college level and later expanded to lower levels with the absorption of the Southeast Asian Institute for the Deaf (SAID). School year 20182019 marks the final transition year for MC-SAID’s new direction. As previously announced, a two-year transition program is in place for the integration of deaf students into the MAE programs. A series of meetings with parents were held throughout the year to discuss support programs to help ensure a smooth transition in this final year, including a financial assistance program for students from the unit’s scholarship funds. Transition activities, such as individual assessment of students for the best possible educational placement, were conducted to assist them as they move forward.

This year, MC-SAID students moving up to Junior High School were mainstreamed at the MAE. This is part of the transition program that successfully integrated the unit’s students into MAE’s Senior High School program the previous year. There were a total of 33 deaf students in the MAE SHS program last school year, including former MC-SAID students. The integration and mainstreaming of deaf students, either from MC-SAID or other deaf schools, enriched the hearing students’ learning experiences and brought new life to MAE and the entire school. The school continues to accept qualified deaf high school graduates in the Higher Education Unit. At these levels, the school has made a bigger impact on its students, helping them become work-ready and have better prospects in the future.

With this accreditation, along with business centers like Café Gusto and Kulay Salon serving as incubation laboratories for the students, MAE secures sustainability in its yearly operations. Indeed, the unit proves to be cost-effective and demonstrates its potential to serve more underprivileged students. MAE offers Certificate in Hotel and Restaurant Services MAE now offers a two-year revitalized Certificate in Hotel and Restaurant Services program, incorporating highly relevant courses in the field of leisure and tourism industry. This was conceptualized to cater to the first cohort of the Senior High School

graduates of MAE and other public schools with limited resources to pursue a college education. MAE offered an option to enable them to continue their education at an affordable cost, gain a better chance for employment, and remain productive and sustainable. Training students to be entrepreneurs MAE collaborated with the QBO Innovation Hub, an NGO helping new ventures, for a seminarworkshop on entrepreneurship entitled: “Basiqs: Introductory Class on Startups”. This trainingworkshop enabled students to create ideas for their startups and acquire investors to support their products. The MAE provides students with opportunities to develop awareness and acquire skills. This way, they will be better prepared to transform their knowledge into practical and valuable investments.

Spruced up and upgraded, these facilities generated new energy and inspiration in these learning spaces.

Innovative activities all year round Competitive Excellence or COMEX is an annual event of the College of Business, Entrepreneurship, and Accountancy (CBEA) and is actively participated in by all of its departments and respective student organizations. For this year, the Society of Junior Entrepreneurs (SJE) held a COMEXCBEA Competition that gathered participants from all CBEA student organizations. Representatives from student organizations of entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, and accountancy collaborated on a business solution program. The exhibit “School Room to Board Room” was also held during the COMEX event. Launched by the Department of Entrepreneurship, it featured the department’s successful graduates who built their own firms or excelled in their employment. The exhibit proved the sustainability and success of the department, encouraging students and visitors of Miriam College to consider the Entrepreneurship track. In November 2018, more than a hundred students from different higher education institutions gathered at Miriam College for the “Global Policy Hack”, a series of fora that aimed to inspire and engage the youth on entrepreneurial action through lessons from business experts in the academe, industry, NGOs, and government. The event was a collaboration of the Young Entrepreneur Society (YES)-Philippines, CBEADepartment of Entrepreneurship / UNESCO EE Net Philippines and its student organization, the Society of Junior Entrepreneurs (SJE).

CoLlEge oF eDuCATiOn Revitalized Programs The College of Education has embarked on redefining and revitalizing the graduate program offerings to make them more practice-oriented and responsive to the needs of working professionals. Most of the graduate programs were converted into cohort-based and modular professional degree programs. This means that all sessions will be taken together by a group of students enrolled in the program. These practice-based and professional degree programs will be delivered in modular form to allow students some flexibility in managing their studies. All courses will have face-to-face and online sessions. The various programs can be finished in fourteen months for the master’s program and two years for the doctoral program. The revitalized programs are as follows: •

•

Master of Education in Early Childhood Education (formerly known as MA in Child and Adolescent Development) Master of Education in Curriculum and Teaching with Specialization in 21st Century Learning (formerly known as Master in Education in E-Learning) Master of Education in Special Needs and Inclusive Education (formerly known as MA or MEd in Special Education) Doctor of Education in Curriculum and Teaching or Counselor Education (formerly known as Ph.D. in Counselling)

The programs offered during the second semester of SY 2018-2019, enticed a number of teachers to enroll and, as such, a graduate program was opened at Miriam College Nuvali and is doing very well.

The Early Years Symposium for teachers, titled “Jumpstart”, featured Prof. Chip Donohue of The Erikson Institute in Chicago as one of its speakers. He talked about how technologies can facilitate teaching and learning even for young children.

Sourcebook for project-based learning Since SY 2015, the College of Education adopted the use of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in order to address the need for students to develop the competencies and skills for the 21st Century. Through PBL, students are engaged to solve real world problems by using their critical thinking skills and creativity. The students work on their projects through collaboration and by constantly communicating with experts who are mostly industry practitioners. After successfully

implementing the PBL approach, other MC colleges began adopting the same approach in their classes. As such, the sourcebook was developed to guide higher education faculty in applying the Project- Based Learning approach. The sourcebook showcases the framework developed by the Innovation Center and the College of Education dubbed Laro (Play), Likha (Create), and Linang (Enhance). This framework guides higher education faculty in implementing Project-Based Learning in the classroom. It also features projects of the students and their reflections on the significance of the outcome to teachers and to the society.

The College of Education forged partnerships with four universities and one professional organization. These are Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University (Thailand), St. Ambrose University (USA), Goldsmiths, University of London (UK), Camosun College (Canada), and Rethasia International (Singapore). The partnerships include student exchange, faculty collaboration in course and program development and research, and internship. Thirteen students of Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University attended classes at the College of Education and did some immersion activities at the Basic Education unit from June 10 to July 7, 2018. Bulilit Storytellers, an organization under the College of Education, also conducted a storytelling workshop with the visiting students. The College of Education also partnered with Rethasia International to offer early childhood education conferences in the country. Dr. Sallee Beneke of St. Ambrose University and Dr. Chip Donahue of Erikson Institute were the guest speakers of Jumpstart 2018. They spoke about Project Based Learning and the use of technology in early childhood on October 6, 2018. Aside from the College of Education students and professors, attendees came from other parts of the country and abroad.

Parents and grandparents may enroll, too. Lessons are open to both individuals and groups for selected instruments, enabling students to interact and collaborate. Mentored by excellent teachers, Music Center students do not only learn the rudiments of music and techniques of their chosen instruments. They also build self-confidence through regular performances in much awaited quarterly and year-end recitals. The Music Center offers yearly summer programs. Adding to its regular summer offerings, this year, the Center introduced Contemporary Acapella Group Singing. Sound Design, and Film Scoring lessons.

Aligned with the school’s studentcentered thrust, the Music Center allows not just artistic growth but social expression as well. While at the Center, students are given time and space to enjoy art, make new friends in offered group ensemble classes, and develop their confidence in performing during recitals. In this age when the young are often distracted, these activities offer a chance for them to connect with others, and make truly valuable experiences.

All lessons at the Music Center culminate with a recital, helping its students further build their confidence by performing in front of an audience.

Improvements in the Center’s administrative processes were also introduced this year, turning engagements and transactions with parents and students more efficient and effective. These include streamlining of the payment procedure and various faculty systems.

Miriam College anchored its vision and

goals on innovation for the last two terms in the years 2010-2019. The technology and connectivity advances during the decade presented an exciting time for innovation in education in the country, more so, in an all-girls’ school aiming to form women leaders of the future. To build a culture of innovation, a shift in mindset, skillset, structures, and systems was necessary. Guided by the institutional cornerstones of Quality, Relevance, and Sustainability, the community worked together to pioneer innovative programs in an all-girls’ school and in the country amidst the changing educational landscape brought about by the K to 12 program. Implementing the vision was an exercise in innovation itself. Miriam College thought outside the box, collaborated with industry partners, and humbly became learners all over again. In creating the programs that met the vision, it had to meet three vital questions comprised of the 3 “I’s”:

Does it impact the student’s educational experience? Is it anchored on innovation where all units benefit? Does it promote institutional sustainability? Fulfilling the vision was not easy, but the journey revealed the value and importance of challenging old systems and being open to new learning and teaching approaches. With the students at the center of all these efforts, the community successfully placed innovation at the heart of Miriam College education, laying the foundations for a truly 21st-century learning.

Project COGENT

Re-tooling the faculty

Faculty members underwent retooling to prepare for teaching a highly digitized generation. The school sent selected faculty members to STEM and innovation workshops abroad or flew in international experts to address a bigger group of teachers. A Microsoft training seminar was also conducted.

Student Development

Students learned beyond the classroom through exposures to local and international programs and collaboration with their counterparts abroad. These opportunities taught them new ways of thinking and learning outside the box.

STEM to STEAM Program

With the goal of preparing students, especially girls, in fields of the future, the school focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), later on adding Art to make STEAM for more holistic learning. Units, particularly in the BEU, integrated real-life applications and used multi-sensory materials to make concepts in subject areas like Math and Science relevant.

E-learning Programs

A grant from the US Embassy funded the Miriam College-initiated Project COGENT (Cooperation for Girls’ Education, Nurturance, and Training). Representatives from 18 girls’ schools throughout the country gathered at Miriam College to discuss common challenges and share best practices in STEM, the arts, and the social sciences. The students and their teachers were immersed in innovative workshops. Project COGENT evolved into the Philippine Alliance for Girls’ Education (PAGE), an association that aims to deliver quality girls’ education.

Girls Be Brave!

Recognizing the role of technology in learning and teaching, Miriam College introduced e-Learning programs in both the BEU and HEU. It became the first all-girls’ school in the country to introduce the use of tablets in the High School, replacing heavy books and utilizing gadgets for collaborative work and multi-media presentations. In the College, the school offered the Philippines’ first Postgraduate Certificate in Designing Education and Master of Arts in Designing Education.

Complementing the school’s STEAM program is the campaign “Girls Be Brave!” The aim is to help students develop an attitude of bravery and grit as they put their innovative ideas forward so they can make things happen. The school flew in YouTube influencer and Fear Facer Michelle Poler who gave a successful talk that inspired girls and taught them that there are no boundaries to how far they can go if they conquered their fears.

IN ADVANCING IN EDUCATION

The school concretized innovation by placing the physical structures, tools, funding, and external partners needed to make it come to fruition. These moves further supported the programs that were initiated and integrated across all units. The creation of an INNOVATION CENTER became the extension of traditional classrooms and gave students the freedom to create, learn, discover, and yes, even make mistakes, allowing them to exercise the true dynamics of what it means to innovate. The center provided the tools and the environment so ideas become viable products or services that provide solutions to everyday problems. Complementing the structure were meaningful partnerships with academic institutions, government, and industry partners that not only kept the space up-to-date and dynamic but also strategic. From simply being a buzzword on campus, such effort turned innovation into a mindset and ultimately part of the community’s culture.

STEM Strand

With a strong STEAM program in place, more and more students have been choosing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) as their strand of choice in the last five years, with the School Year 2016-2017 showing the highest numbers at 52 percent.

International Federation of Catholic Universities Rector’s Program

MC President Dr. Rosario O. Lapus is one of 15 rectors/presidents worldwide chosen to participate in the International Federation of Catholic Universities (IFCU) Rector’s Program, an intensive training on Catholic higher education leadership. Through IFCU, she was invited to be the main speaker at the first public forum of the Congregation for Catholic Education held in Rome, Italy.

Designing Education

Miriam College and Goldsmiths, University of London partner for the graduate degree program Designing Education, a niche program that fuses design thinking and education. The partnership is part of the transnational education (TNE) program initiated by the Commission on Higher Education and the United Kingdom through the British Council. It aims to bring Philippine and British schools together to develop graduate courses that otherwise would not be available for Filipinos in the country. Miriam College is the only college chosen among 9 Philippine universities to be part of this PH-UK educational program. Goldsmiths Warden, Patrick Loughrey, shown in photo with Dr. Rosario O. Lapus, flies all the way from London for the partnership launch held at the MC-HSSIC.

Innovation was made tangible in many different areas of learning and teaching across units. The curriculum highlighted the relevance of STEAM in everyday learning. Complementing the program were student exposures to STEAM-related workshops, camps, and competitions here and abroad. Faculty members were equipped with skills using the latest technology for more relevant teaching. Perhaps, the best validation of this vision is the consistently increasing percentage of Senior High School students who have chosen STEM as their track of choice.

2010-2011

The school introduces the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math or STEM program, integrating it into the curriculum while re-tooling faculty for 21st century teaching and learning.

2012-2013

2011-2012

Miriam College becomes the first Asian affiliate of the National Coalition for Girls’ School (NCGS), a leading advocate of girls’ education in the US that has consistently advocated the advancement of girls in STEM.

The Science Garden is created to serve as an outdoor classroom and living laboratory that complements the STEM program.

MC becomes the country’s first all-girls school to introduce the use of the tablet in the classroom.

2013-2014

Art is incorporated to STEM and becomes STEAM, in recognition that humanities, design, and art are an integral part of learning.

The MCMS launches STEAM@Home where science projects are done at home with family members, encouraging collaboration and discovery among students.

MC-Henry Sy, Sr. Innovation Center (MC-HSSIC)

The MC-HSSIC is the country’s first integrated makerspace. It is designed to be a 21st-century classroom with dedicated rooms for Design, Robotics, Engineering & Entrepreneurship, Arts and Mathematics (DREAMS) so students can make ideas come alive, create prototypes that provide solutions to problems. It is also a space that encouraged collaboration, a learning style that girls thrive in.

iHUB

Complementing the MC-HSSIC is the iHUB, a place where students can further develop their prototypes and make them viable products or services with the help of faculty, alumni, and industry mentors. A Department of Science and Technology Development Grant recipient, the iHUB houses the MC-Technology Business Incubation (TBI) Center which supports start-ups and other enterprises. The iHUB will formally open next year to highlight the school’s founding anniversary.

2014-2015

The institution successfully opens its second campus, Miriam College Nuvali. 10 students from MCHS comprised the only all-women’s team at the 2013 World Educational Robot International Invitational Tournament in Henan, China.

MCHS launches the first SciMax or Science and Math Exposition to create a venue where students can showcase their experiments, researches, and inventions. Similar activities are held annually in the BEU.

President’s Challenge

The President’s Challenge is a research-based and solution-focused competition among students, faculty, and staff. It celebrates the community’s ability to generate big, bold ideas that lead to innovation and social impact. A winner from each academic unit is given seed funding to build prototypes for exhibit. Among the exciting ideas developed for students by students were DefendHer, a defense system for students using school items like ID; Drogo, a rescue operations robot designed to locate and alert potential survivors affected by earthquakes, flash floods, and fires; and The Colour Project, a visual campaign to promote mental wellness in school using colors that contribute to better performances. The competition is now on its second year.

Strategic Partnerships

Forging new and key partnerships in the area of innovation allowed MC-HSSIC to become viable and to extend its reach beyond the campus. Top industry companies such as Emerson Technologies, Power Mac, Felta Multimedia, Inc., C&E Publishing, and CCA were some of the earliest collaborators of the school. Government institutions as well as alumni have all contributed to a thriving space where students, faculty, staff and communities outside MC can benefit. These partnerships supported the following areas: faculty development, student exposures, international network, expertise sharing with different institutions, and introduction of pioneering courses in the undergraduate and graduate levels.

When two new subjects, robotics and coding, became part of the BEU curriculum, it sent the message to students that engineering and programming were for girls as much as they were for boys. Robotics clubs in the different units were formed. Coding workshops for both Quezon City and Nuvali students were held in partnership with German-based SAP Software & Solutions, an industry leader in cloud and business solutions. The session on Women leaders in Coding, handled by SAP young female managers brought in from Singapore, was particularly effective in inspiring MC girls to take on coding. These empowering efforts extended to fun summer courses that also served children outside of MC.

2015-2016

Miriam College partners with Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) and Leonio Land, Inc. for the development of a 10-hectare campus in Alviera, one of ALI’s newest township located at the heart of Central Luzon in Porac, Pampanga. The campus will offer innovative programs with special focus on arts, design, technology and management fields.

K to 12 Model School

As a response to the government education reform, Miriam College, having a Grade 7 in place, became among the country’s model schools in the implementation of K to 12, lending its best practices to other institutions as they worked towards complying with the Basic Education program.

Design Thinking

Adapting to technology advances

Dr. Rosario Lapus is invited to be a keynote speaker alongside Gloria Steinem and Ariana Huffington at the 2016 Global Forum on Girls’ Education in New York where she shares the school’s efforts in promoting STEM among girls and young women.

Miriam College becomes an active member of the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia, an organization dedicated to the advancement of girls’ education and empowerment of young girls to reach their full potential.

Securing the future of the school is part of the institutional innovative thrust. Investing in solid, sound, and sustainable initiatives allowed Miriam College to grow while responding to the continuously changing landscape of Philippine education. Structures and processes that complemented programs and promoted viability were established so future generations of learners may benefit.

Miriam College became one of the few institutions that boldly adopted the concept of Design Thinking, integrating it in teaching and learning even among preschoolers. The idea of using empathy teaches even the youngest of students a human-centered process in finding innovative solutions to problems. At the graduate level, Miriam College partnered with the prestigious Goldsmiths, University of London to offer a niche program that fuses the theory of design thinking and education called Designing Education.

MCHS students Karen Frances Beatrice Aquino and Reanna Rosary Noel are among the top winners of the first Google Web Rangers Anti-Cyberbullying online campaign, “#CyberBully404”. As winners, they got to visit the Google Headquarters in California, USA.

MC Museum

Miriam College Nuvali

In 2014, Miriam College opened its co-ed campus to 143 students in the south. Since then enrollees have risen exponentially. From initially offering four levels, it now has an entire basic education program from preschool to senior high school. In 2017, it began construction of its second building, with emphasis on an environmentally sustainable school that is safe and conducive to living and learning. Now on its 5th year, the campus already has a total 713 students and this number continues to grow every school year.

Centers of Excellence

On top of its autonomous status, the Higher Education Unit continues to be recognized for its excellent programs. The Commission on Higher Education named its Business Administration, Entrepreneurship, and Early Childhood Education programs as Centers of Excellence while its Communication Program as a Center of Development. Such recognition validates the tireless efforts of the unit to produce graduates who will become leaders in service.

The MC Museum, where the school’s historical and modern collection will be on display, is a work in progress. It is set to be launched to alumni and visitors in time for the school’s 93rd anniversary in September 2019. It is a product of intensive research and careful curation so that everything on display comes together meaningfully, telling the great story of the school from “Knoll to Now.”

INNOVATION at the heart of MC Education

A review of the Christian Living (CL) subjects in the Basic Education Unit is held regularly. Curriculum/ lesson planning of the Miriam Adult Education (MAE) was facilitated by MISMO, which is integral to the Grades 11 and 12 CL offered in school year 2019-2020. A community enlivened by the Miriam Spirituality Apart from student formation, MISMO enhances spirituality in the workplace through unit-wide reorientation on Miriam Spirituality. As part of the Continuing Formation Program for Faculty, a Seminar on Spirituality in Teaching was given to BEU faculty during InService Training (INSET). As the institution’s vehicle in providing services to partner communities and other sectors of society, MISMO organized the BEU and HEU outreach activities in partnership with Daan Tubo’s

community-based Kaisahang Ugnayan ng Mamamayan (KUM). The school also engages the community in quick response to aid calamity victims. Donations in cash and kind from the parents, students, and employees for those affected by damaging habagat rains went to partner communities and parishioners of the San Isidro Labrador Parish, Bagong Silangan. Support was also given to Alay Kapwa, a CBCP outreach program.

As a resource speaker at a panel discussion entitled “Changing Role of Women’s Colleges in Asia”, Miriam College President Rosario O. Lapus, PhD. shared her rich experiences in higher education leadership and management. She enthused that at Miriam College, “we create an environment where girls’ and young women’s voices are heard, their ideas pursued, and their successes celebrated.” She illustrated that this began with Girls at the Center, a vision communicated to stakeholders, administrators, then to the students, faculty, and parents. It was also crucial

to strategize. For each venture, goals like QRS (Q-quality, R-relevance, S-sustainability) and the 3Is (Impact, Innovation and Institutional) are considered before plans are implemented. The forum was attended by presidents and principals of women’s colleges and universities from six countries in Asia, including Bangladesh, China, India, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines.

MIRIAM COLLEGE Annual Report 2018-2019

ALuMNI EnGagEmENT OfFICE

Close to 50 alumni became members of the Council of Class Representatives or CORE. The Council was formed to help AEO reach out and connect with more alumni.

New alumni office Viewed by the Board as vital to the institution, an alumni office was created to ensure the school and the alumni’s strong bond with the Maryknoll/Miriam College Alumni Association (MMCAA). Since its establishment in October 2018, the Alumni Engagement Office (AEO) work program has focused on cultivating a collaboration between the school and its graduates. Two building blocks have been essential during its foundational year--a dynamic multi-media Communications Program to raise the alumni’s awareness of developments and innovative outreach programs and services to reach the diverse alumni community. Through these initiatives, the alumni will continue to be involved in programs that

address their needs, like the Lifelong Learning Series, Spiritual Formation, Leadership Forum, the first alumni recollection on Palm Sunday, and a seminarworkshop on “Wellness in Our Senior Years.” The partnership with the MMCAA is synergistic. Collaborations on the annual homecoming, the Triple A Gallery, alumni induction, and the Communications program have helped reach a wider range of alumni. The AEO has established platforms to attract the alumni into the MC orbit. Distinctive opportunities for channeling engagement are tailored to their expertise and availability as resources for teaching, speaking engagements, and industry mentoring.

of the MC educational experience.

Miriam College has a growing, 30,000-strong alumni community. To help the AEO reach this community, the Council of Class Representatives (CORE) was launched in February 2019. The almost 50 members of CORE, the primary communication channel of the AEO and the alumni, provide the AEO with class news, updated directories, and advice on relevant programs and services the AEO can implement.

The tradition of alumni giving remains strong, and their gifts are precious. This school year, the alumni’s generosity was evident in scholarships for students at the high school and college programs of MCQC and MC Nuvali, support of auxiliary educational costs of college students, improvement of physical activities for both campuses, and literature and art donations to the Maryknoll/Miriam College Family of Authors and Gallery of Women’s Art.

Maryknoll/Miriam legacy lives on among alumni A large number of alumni continue to bring pride by making a difference in their communities and organizations. To highlight their positive impact, AEO regularly features their achievements and milestones on the alumni webpage through video and interview formats and in the quarterly joint newsletter with the MMCAA. The alumni, who largely attribute their achievements to their education, are the best advocates of the value

Alumni also give to community partners. For ESI’s partner community in Laiban, Tanay, support came from MCHS 2019, MCHS Grade 10 students, and the MMCAA that donated funds for the construction of a multi-purpose community hall. MMCAA has also been involved in supporting MISMO’s outreach programs, donating a total of 10 balikbayan boxes of shoes to Quezon City partner communities. Likewise, the MMCAA Class of 1979 donated cash for MISMO volunteer programs.

MIRIAM COLLEGE Annual Report 2018-2019

Batch 1993, this year’s jubilarians and host, wowed alumni and guests not only with their unforgettable dance number but well-organized and aptlythemed homecoming, GalingMC.

2018 Alumni Homecoming: Galing MC This year’s Alumni Homecoming was hosted by the 2018 Silver Jubilarians, High School Class of 1993, the first full graduates

of Miriam College High School (MCHS). Their brilliant theme “GalingMC” carried a double meaning (galing as in MC excellence, and galing as in ‘coming from MC’) and promised a double treat. From the nostalgic opening number that featured students and members of the MMCAA walking through the hallways of the school, to the joyful community singing of the alma mater song at the end, the theme was reinforced and the message was clear: the spirit of Maryknoll/ Miriam College burns strong and bright across generations of alumni.

mArYkNOLL SIsTErs With pride in the Maryknoll legacy, it is always a joy to have the Maryknoll Sisters visit Miriam College. This school year, the sisters visited on different occasions. In the first semester, the first year college students met Sr. Teresa Dagdag during the Miriam Spirituality orientation on October 15. Sr. Teresa told the story of the Maryknoll Sisters, Mother Mary Joseph, and the mission of the Maryknoll Sisters in the Philippines. She also shared her vocation story to encourage our students to discern and listen to God’s call. A month after, the Sisters celebrated with the community the Mass of Remembrance. The meaningful liturgy, held at the Chapel of the Holy Rosary at the Lower School, was greatly appreciated by the Sisters.

In the second semester, Sr. Jareen Aquino, a Maryknoll Sister based in Africa, shared her mission story with MCQC and MCN students. This was part of the celebration of the Year of the Youth. Lastly, on April 14, Sr. Nenita Tapia shared her vocation and mission stories during the very first Alumni Recollection. Apart from their sharing, the Sisters living in the Motherhouse in Ossining, New York, who at one point had missions in the Philippines, surprised the participants with a very touching letter.

Sr. Teresa “Sr. TD” Dagdag, MM, shares her vocation and mission story to college freshmen during a Miriam Spirituality seminar.

The Maryknoll ties remain deeply rooted. As the community’s gratitude, the Maryknoll Sisters continue to be beneficiaries of the annual gift-giving, Gift to the Child Jesus, for their Christmas apostolate. The Miriam College Community is grateful to them as they continue to inspire the school’s mission and work.

INNOVATION at the heart of MC Education

s n o i t c e n n o Keeping C Warm This school year, Dr. Rosario O. Lapus visited Maryknoll Sisters Marisa Lichauco and Virginia Fabella at the Motherhouse in Ossining, New York. Both sisters are among her favorite teachers. Srs. Marisa and Virginia are former members of the school’s Board of Trustees representing the Congregation.

Visit with a sister-school Dr. Lapus was warmly received at the Maryknoll Convent School in Hong Kong founded by the Maryknoll Sisters in 1925, one year before Miriam College’s founding when it was still Malabon Normal School. She was greeted by Principal Melaine Lee and students with a musical number.

BOT sTrAtEgIC aLIGnmEnT CoMmITtEe The Board of Trustees Strategic Alignment Committee (SAC) continued its series of workshops to further flesh out the desired direction for the school in response to the new challenges to educational institutions. The SAC redefined the competencies and characteristics of learners and graduates that will serve as the Institutional Development Strategy framework. The Strategy will take a campus-specific approach, recognizing the different stages of growth and the unique needs

of the Quezon City, Nuvali, and upcoming Porac, Pampanga campuses. Trustees through Institutional Innovation Teams will be more engaged with the school management in planning changes that will deliver strategic plans for the three campuses, creating longterm impact. Among the concrete plans recommended by the SAC was the immediate creation of the Alumni Engagement Office which aims to link the school more meaningfully with its graduates.

hUMaN rEsOuRces DIviSiOn The Human Resources Division regularly upgrades its systems to respond to the development of new policies and guidelines in the College. This year, the HRD initiated the third upgrade of the school’s Human Resource Information System or HRIS. This step was made to keep data accurate

and valuable, making the HRD’s operations more efficient. In this latest version, a work off-setting module, a medical history field that uploads the employees’ annual physical examination (APE) results, and a seamless connection with payroll will be added.

FinANCe DivIsiOn New activities were introduced this year to enhance financial processes for better services and operations. Before the school year ended, the Accounting Office adopted a new collection policy that enabled it to increase collection rate by 10% in the HEU.

Another milestone is the improvement in inventory management. This includes regular quarterly inventory count and reconciliation, and the completion of Fixed Assets module customization using the NAV accounting management system.

Miriam College is now ISO 9001:2015 certified Miriam College received ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System) certification for its Higher Education Unit and Support Services (General Administration) from the German audit firm, TÜV Rheinland. The ISO-mandated external audit was conducted in February 2019 with 25 offices in the Higher Education and General Administration units undergoing the process. The audit team identified 10 positive observations, 20 opportunities for improvement, and zero non-conformity which paved the way for the ISO certification. The certificate was officially awarded to Miriam College on March 13, 2019 by TÜV Rheinland.

According to the International Organization for Standardization, the standards of ISO 9001:2015 are based on “a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement. Using ISO 9001:2015 helps ensure that customers get consistent, good quality products and services”. This particular certification also gives emphasis to efficiency, adherence to statutory requirements, and the school’s focus on risk management. This achievement is a testament to Miriam College’s commitment to providing quality education and services to its students. The validity of the certification is from February 26, 2019 to February 25, 2022.

The members of Internal Quality Audit team, composed of auditors from different offices and units, played a crucial role in preparing the school for the external audit of TÜV Rheinland. Among other roles, the team evaluated each unit’s processes, making sure that they complied with ISO standards.

MIRIAM COLLEGE Annual Report 2018-2019 Four undergraduate programs passed PAASCU preliminary survey After passing an initial preliminary survey visit and a consultancy visit, four undergraduate programs were deemed by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) to be eligible for a formal survey which can lead to their accreditation. The four academic programs are BS in Accountancy, BS in Accountancy and Information Systems, BS in Leisure and Tourism Management (from the College of Business, Accountancy and Entrepreneurship) and Bachelor in Applied Arts (from the College of Arts and Sciences). The said programs underwent an initial PAASCU survey on November 17-18, 2016 conducted by a team led by Prof. Vicente Antonio Pijano III. After implementing the recommendations of the survey team, the four programs were evaluated and determined to be ready to undertake a formal survey by a consultancy team led by Dr. Leonida Africa on March 22, 2019. The formal survey visit will be in March 2020. Institutional Research Ethics Committee formed In response to the mandate of the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (PHREB), the Quality Assurance Office, in coordination with the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, initiated the creation of an institutional Research Ethics Committee (REC). The primary task is to conduct research ethics reviews to safeguard the dignity, rights, safety, and well-being of research participants. PHREB is the main policy-making body on

research ethics in the country. The mandate to subject researches to an ethics review is supported by other government agencies such as the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Health (DOH), and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). As an initial step towards the formation of an institutional REC, a PHREB-facilitated Basic Research Ethics Training Workshop was organized by the Quality Assurance Office (QAO) and Center for Strategic Research (CSR) participated in by 40 representatives from the different units of the institution. Among the participants, eight were identified to compose the REC and were duly appointed. The committee is chaired by the head of the QAO, Dr. Francis Evangelista, with the following members representing the higher education and basic education units: Dr. Donna Reyes, Dr. Olivia Carandang, Dr. Marc Gellynck, Atty. Ronaldo Ignacio, Dr. Clarissa Ligon, Ms. Christine de Dios, and Mr. Jerome Macapagal. The committee is working on documents required by PHREB for possible accreditation. The committee has reviewed a total of seven research proposals for SY 2018-2019. These proposals include those that have been submitted to the CSR for research grants, and dissertation and thesis proposals of faculty in graduate school.

aLUmnI EngAGEMEnT OFfIce With the newly-established AEO, new and formal mechanisms and systems have enhanced alumni involvement. Alumni Information Management System Maintaining a complete and updated alumni data is a key component of AEO’s work. The new Alumni Information Management System enables segmentation of the alumni according to their expertise, occupational engagement, and involvement with the school. The capacity to segment the alumni into various demographics allows the school to deliver programs that are targeted and beneficial to both alumni and the institution.

In anticipation of the development of the school and the rise in philanthropic support from the alumni, the AEO established a systematic alumni-giving process that documents these gifts, monitors their use, and records and reports the outcomes of the use of these resources. Regular communications Keeping the alumni engaged means ensuring that they are updated about their alma mater. The AEO webpage went live on the MC website in February 2019, and is regularly updated with alumni features, news, and announcements. It also includes

INNOVATION at the heart of MC Education Nuvali’s 5th anniversary. Renamed “MC Now”, the newsletter was modernized by moving it from Outlook email to a web-based platform (Intranet) and giving it a design-flexible, navigable, and mobile-friendly feature. To complement the new platform, contributors across the campus formed the newsletter’s regular pool of writers. A writer’s workshop was conducted to orient them about the new format and upgrade their skills in feature and news writing, story development, and angling. The efforts resulted in increased story contributions and content. Stories centered on the school’s achievements, best practices,

and employees’ work, life, and work purpose. The contributions have become a regular source of content not only for MC Now but for the school’s official website, social media accounts, and even mainstream media, further strengthening internal and external communications. MC Facebook Messenger uses chatbots To assist the school’s various stakeholders as well as its wider audience with their inquiries, the use of chatbots in the Miriam College Facebook messenger was introduced, allowing more timely response to queries and concerns.

As part of the school’s Think Safe Program, a number of structures built in the 1950s, including the MMJ building, were retrofitted this year to ensure that they can withstand strong earthquakes.

This year saw the completion of the retrofitting work on Miriam College’s six oldest buildings constructed in the 1950s: Angel Michael Hall in the CSC, the Our Lady of Maryknoll Hall in the LS, the Our Lady of Fatima Hall in the MS, the St. Joan of Arc Hall in the

HS, the Caritas Hall and the Mother Mary Joseph Building, both in the HEU. These buildings underwent modification with additional components that resist earthquake load. This project is part of the school’s preventive measures in line with the Think Safe Program.

MIRIAM COLLEGE Annual Report 2018-2019 The school year 2018-2019 ushered the celebration of Miriam College Nuvali’s (MCN) 5th year. Miriam College’s second campus started with a vision to expand and serve families south of Manila while anchoring its brand of education on the same academic excellence and values its Quezon City campus is known for. Today, MCN is a thriving academic community supported by steady enrollment, solid partnerships, strategic student and faculty programs, and sustainable structures and facilities.

Students and teachers open MCN’s 5th anniversary celebrations with the song titled “High 5 para kay Maria.”

Celebrating with a ‘HIGH 5’ Dubbed “HIGH 5”, MCN’s fifth anniversary theme spelled out the core characteristic the school would like to develop among its students: Happy, Innovative, God-loving, and Holistic. The theme also represented the trajectory the campus has taken in the past five years, showing consistent growth in students, faculty, and structures. Various activities marked the campus’s week-long celebrations. These include an MC alumni talk with the high school students, Alternative Learning Experience (ALEx) sessions for Grades 3 to 12 students, and a campus-wide choral competition. The activities culminated in a gathering with Miriam College Quezon City employees at the Nuvali grounds for a combined celebration of MCN’s 5th year and the institution’s 92nd anniversary. Check out snapshots of the activity in our MCN Highlights section.

INNOVATION at the heart of MC Education The MCN campus opened in 2014, welcoming 141 students from Grades 1-7. It added Grades 8-9 in the next school year, and finally in SY 2016-17, became K-12 ready with its first batch of Grade 12 students graduating in 2018. This school year, it has become home to more than 700 students. Steadily growing with the student population is its human resource, equipped to nurture and educate young girls and boys. From 19 administrators, faculty, and staff who took the challenge to serve the fledgling school five years ago, MCN now has more than 70 personnel under its employ. This is still expected to grow in the coming years. On schedule with the campus’s 10-year development plan is the construction of the modern Early Childhood Education Complex. This is MCN’s second building which was launched in time for school opening this year. It is now home to students from First Step to Fourth Grade. The complex features learning areas, including two playground sets plus interactive projectors at the Multi-Purpose Hall and a Computer Laboratory. Modern and environment-friendly, the space offers a conducive, fun, and safe co-ed space for its curious learners. Complementing the new Complex is the MCN Science Garden and Butterfly House donated by the Maryknoll College Class of 1972. More construction on the 15-hectare lot is expected in the coming years to meet the planned phases of the campus. Like the first two buildings, special emphasis will be placed on keeping them environmentally sustainable.

Expanding partnerships and participation

A view of MCN’s Early Childhood Education Complex

As it firmly establishes itself as a premier school in the south, MCN continues to expand its partnership and participation in co-curricular activities here and abroad to provide its students bigger venues and opportunities for learning and interaction. This school year, two MCN students joined the Miriam College Exchange Program at the Hakuho Girls’ School in Japan. In exchange, the Nuvali campus hosted five visitors from the same Japanese High School,

MIRIAM COLLEGE Annual Report 2018-2019 including representatives from Shiganawa Etoile Girls’ High School, and Tokyo Joshi Gakuin Junior and Senior High Schools. The campus named its second scholar to Bangkok University (BU). Batch 2019 Senior High School Valedictorian, Jennea Ricci Barrera, is the recipient of a 100% scholarship at the top Thailand university where she will take up a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Graphics and Multimedia. The second scholarship offer came after MCN’s first BU scholar, Jonathan Earl Carreos, showed impressive leadership and outstanding performance in both academic and co-curricular activities.

Bangkok University grants another full scholarship to an MCN student. This year’s recipient is school valedictorian, Jennea Ricci Barrera.

Locally, MCN students and faculty members continue to participate and shine in interschool, national, and international level competitions. Last July 2018, Audrey Diaz and Ysabelle De La Paz participated in the prestigious World Scholar’s Cup Kuala Lumpur Global Rounds 2018. Diaz won two gold medals for being School Top Scholar and Writing Champion, while Dela Paz won silver medals in Writing and Collaborative Writing. Both were coached by Hezekiah Zaraspe, MCN faculty. This is the second time MCN has joined the competition. On the homefront, MCN students and teachers participated in the Miriam College 2nd President’s Challenge at the MC-Henry Sy, Sr. Innovation Center. The teachers won in the Faculty Division for their modern and cost-efficient version of the tapayan called “Cool-tura.”

Sixteen faculty members from MCN and Xavier School Nuvali comprise the first batch of students to take up Masters of Education in Curriculum and Teaching, a graduate program offered for the first time in MCN.

MCN offers first graduate program For the first time, MCN through the College of Education, opened the graduate-level program, Masters of Education in Curriculum and Teaching with Specialization in 21st Century Learning. A total of 16 faculty comprised the first cohort of students for the program. Twelve of them are MCN teachers, while four teach in neighboring Xavier School Nuvali. The program is designed to challenge education professionals to reexamine theories, structures, and practices in curriculum and instruction in order to plan and provide learning opportunities fit for a fast-paced, competitive, and technology-driven society. The program culminates in a capstone project focusing on 21st century principles applied in the student’s field of practice.

hIgHLiGhTS First pre-school play Students from First Step to Kindergarten held their first yearend school play this year. A total of 98 participants delighted the audience with the play, “Noah’s Big Boat,” adapted from the Bible and inspired by book “Why Noah Chose the Dove” by Nobel Peace Prize awardee Isaac Bashevis Singer. It highlighted the well-loved story of Noah, the different animals aboard the ark, and the dove that brought a message of hope.

Career Guidance Week MCN faculty and administrators celebrated Career Guidance Week with a fun twist this year: coming to school dressed in their ‘alternative career’ uniforms had they not been part of the MCN today. Some came dressed as a priest, nurse, and engineer to the students’ delight. The activity was part of the career fair organized for Senior High School students. Career talks were also given for the lower grades.

MIRIAM COLLEGE Annual Report 2018-2019

Family Day and outreach In an effort to better manage activities and focus on the special concerns of the different student levels, MCN decided to divide the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) into two clusters. Cluster 1 is composed of PTA members with children from First Step to Grade 6 while Cluster 2 is comprised of PTA members with children from Grades 7- 12. The initiative proved effective as both clusters organized separately-themed but well-attended Family Days. Cluster 1 celebrated with the theme “MCiNCO na Tayo, Sama Sama Buong Pamilya” complete with a colorful family parade and followed by a lively field demonstration that highlighted the different Philippine festivals. Families also had a great time playing Bingo, Minute to Win it, and Family Feud. Cluster 2 dubbed their event “PI5TA: Pamilyang Sama Sama,” featuring different kinds of larong Pinoy. It was participated in by students, parents, and teachers. This event was made possible in partnership with the Magna Kultura Foundation and Cluster 2 PTA. In a separate event, the MCN PTA came together to organize a DentalMedical Mission for the school’s partner community, Sitio Mangumit in Sta. Regina Homes Subdivision, Brgy. Canlubang. They were able to serve more than 200 patients. The outreach was supported by faculty and doctor volunteers.

INNOVATION at the heart of MC Education

Pista sa MC Nuvali, Lahat Kasali! For the first time in Miriam College’s employee teambuilding (Bigkis) history, the MC community held its employee event in Miriam College Nuvali (MCN) in Calamba, Laguna. The Employee Day carried a Filipino fiesta theme and celebrated MCQC’s 92 years and MC Nuvali’s journey to five amazing years. Assistant to the President for MCN, Ms. Cynthia Morales, opened the program by retracing the journey that brought MCN where it is today. A Filipiniana number performed by MCN employees soon followed, marking the start of festivities. The entire afternoon saw the whole community joining activities such as Luksong Lubid, Suot Lusot, and Pabitin, among many others. The celebration culminated with a message of gratitude from Dr. Rosario O. Lapus. The community took part in a Filipino spread set-up on the grounds of the newly constructed Early Childhood Education Complex. The fun and colorful atmosphere truly resonated with the chosen theme, “Pista sa MC Nuvali, Lahat kasali!”
