Annual School Theme

THEME THIS YEAR: 

“C.H.A.R.G.E! - Celebrating Holistic, Authentic, and Responsive Growth in Education!”

Here is a simple explanation

Celebrate      


  • acknowledge (a significant or happy day or event) with a social gathering or enjoyable activity

  • perform (a religious ceremony) publicly and duly

  • honor or praise publicly

  • venerate, keep alive the memory of, pay respect to, ritualize, spare a thought for, ceremonialize, hold sacred...

Holistic      


  • It describes an all-embracing approach that views every aspect of a matter as a cohesive whole rather than a collection of isolated entities.

  • It is all about the integration of intellectual, emotional, psychological, occupational, social, spiritual, and physical developments of a person.

Holistic (Education)


  • It is the principle of educating the full person in addition to fundamental academics.

  • It describes the inclusion of multiple facets of life, such as health, economics, social emotional skills, life skills, technical skills, etc., into the curriculum.

Holistic Growth


  • It means developing the whole child - socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually, morally, and spiritually.

  • It is about focusing and establishing a person's overall wellbeing in an integrated learning format.

  • It calls for emphasis on positive school and home environments and whole child support.

Promoting Holistic Growth


Educational models and teacher strategies are integral to promote holistic development in children such as:

          Hands-on Experience

          Self-Guided Learning

          School as Community

          Interdisciplinary Curriculum

          Strong Student-Teacher Bond

          Encouraging Self-Confidence

          Incorporating Emotional Reflection


In Statefields School, we promote the Whole Child Approach by ensuring that our students are Secured, Healthy, Involved, Fostered, and Tested.

Authentic


  • It describes something that is real or genuine and not counterfeit.

  • It is worthy of acceptance or belief as conforming to or based on fact.

Authentic Growth


  • It refers to personal or organizational development that is genuine, meaningful, and aligned with one's core values and purpose.

  • In the context of personal growth, it means striving to become othe best version of oneself while staying true to one's identity, beliefs, and principles.

  • For organizations, it means pursuing sustainable and responsible development that benefits all stakeholders.

Three components of Authentic Growth:


     MEANINGFUL. Growth that is both valuable to different parties.

     SUSTAINABLE. Growth is sustained over a long period of time.

     REPEATABLE. Growth may be redone and replicated.

Promoting Authentic Growth


Some strategies to foster authentic growth in the school:

  • Foster a Positive School Culture

  • Promote a Growth Mindset

  • Empower Student Voice

  • Cultivate Emotional Intelligence

  • Offer Mentoring and Guidance

  • Model Authenticity

Responsive


  • It means reacting or responding readily and positively

  • It is about intentionally and enthusiastically paying attention to and replying directly to what the other person says or does.

  • It is showing enough care to and addressing appropriately the needs and concerns of others.

Responsive Growth


  • It is a dynamic and adaptable approach to development and progress. It involves being sensitive and receptive to changing circumstances and emerging opportunities, and then adjusting plans and actions accordingly.

  • In the context of personal growth, it means being open to self-reflection and feedback from others, and using that information to make positive changes in one's behavior, mindset, and goals.

  • For organizations, it refers to the ability of an institution to adapt to market changes, customer needs, and technological advancements. Instead of sticking rigidly to predetermined strategies, organizations that embrace responsive growth are agile and capable of making timely adjustments to stay relevant and competitive.

Promoting Responsive Growth


We create an environment that embraces adaptability, continuous improvement, and a culture of learning, by:

  • Emphasizing Lifelong Learning

  • Making Decisions which are Data-driven

  • Encouraging Innovation

  • Continuing the Culture of Improvement

  • Empowering Leadership

  • Celebrating Progress

After a successful PAASCU Reaccreditation Visit comes a well-deserved celebration. However, it is not as festive or grand as what others may conceive a celebration has to be. It is a celebration founded on renewed and more focused commitment to working on continuous improvement and excellence. Inspired by the collective experiences gained by everyone, we shall be charging forward with so much vigor and intentionality in ensuring and sustaining the delivery of quality instruction and services. Such instruction and services should promote and be supportive of the Total Development of our students. They have to be realistic and true to what our Philosophy, Vision-Mission, and Objective require. They have to be appropriate, but would allow flexibility and innovation, to the needs of the times.


C.H.A.R.G.E. forward with excellence! C.H.A.R.G.E. to greater heights!

Live up to be responsive, responsible, and resilient whole persons
for the challenges of the future!
