United under one goal: Southville holds Principals’ Forum

As educators face one of the most challenging and overwhelming times in their profession, Southville International School and Colleges (SISC) gathered principals from schools south of Metro Manila to share fresh thinking and innovative strategies in anticipation of the return of in-person learning this coming school year.

Principals from Las Piñas National High School, Lyceum of the Philippines University – Laguna, Manresa School, OB Montessori, PAREF Woodrose, San Lorenzo School, South Mansfield College, Stonyhurst Southville International School – Batangas, Stonyhurst Southville International School Malarayat and SISC shared and learned from each other how to deliver programs and engage students and staff in the next phase of “new normal” schooling.

They gained an overview of what other schools are doing in terms of curriculum, instruction and technological delivery, assessment, work arrangements of faculty and staff, health protocols, and other aspects of school reopening. The dialogue was helpful in making informed policies to prepare for the post-COVID-19 challenges and develop strategies that can be implemented in the near-term as well as long-term.
