State of the School Address

The State of the School Address or the Principals report presents a vivid picture
of the present condition of the school. This includes an analysis of the performance, materials, human
resources and physical facilities management. This is also includes an overview on how the school is
managed. One of the most important agenda of any educational institution is quality academic
performance of the students. All programs and projects are geared towards the achievement of this
goal. Mabinay National High schools academic achievement in the National Achievement Test is
fluctuating. In SY2009 2010, the MPS was 47.03. In SY 2010-2011, the MPS was 42.22 and in school
year 2011-2012, it was 54.22. It was last school year that the school showed a better performance.
However, the performance was still below the standard academic performance of 75%. Numerous
factors affect the performance of the students. These may be students motivation- why they have to be
educated, their family background, teachers personality and management of the classroom, teaching
strategies, school management and instructional supervision, physical facilities, etc. Students attitude
towards their studies may also affect their performance. Therefore, all these factors are taken into
consideration so that academic performance of the school will be improved. Participation of
stakeholders in the affairs of the school will also make an impact in the schools performance.
Other performance indicators are also fluctuating which means that the school
still needs greater cooperation from among all the stakeholders to improve its performance except in
the enrolment which has been increasing for the last 2 years.The financial and material resources of the
school being an implementing unit are satisfactory. The school head, as a fiscal manager, with the
assistance of the accounting and supply offices, with the participation of the SGC and SPT prepares an
Annual School Budget and Project Procurement Management Plan so that resources can be allocated to
where they are most needed. Needs are addressed at the school level.
Therefore, liquidation of funds is not that difficult considering that a different office other than the
principals office is focusing on this. Interventions like school head and teachers training, crafting an
innovation, carrying out a remediation, LAC session, etc. are conducted to be able to improve.
Instructional materials preparation is easier for teachers in the recent periods of
time knowing that internet is one of the most accessible means of getting and designing IMs for the
different classes. ICT integration can be fully implemented because the school is internet connected
funded by DICP and a WI-FI connection is available in the campus funded by the PTA. LCD projectors
were made available through donations from different stakeholder groups and DepEd itself in the case
of the SPED class. This equipment can be used in the different classes.
There were already 28 computer units housed in two laboratories during the
school year 2011-2012. However, a big fire broke out in March, 2012 eating up all these units including
the building consisting of the principals office, library, biology laboratory, HE laboratory and 2
classrooms. But this did not deter the school from carrying out its task of educating the youth. Different
stakeholders have pledged to help the school in terms of buildings and equipment. With Gods grace, I
know these are all possible.Certain organizations like Parents and Teachers Association, Supreme

Student Government, Alumni Association and other school clubs are also helping support the schools
programs and projects. External stakeholders like Bear Much Fruit Ministries, Gualandi Mission for the
Deaf, AGAPE Foundation of Silliman University, and San Ma Eul High School and Womens University are
also helping the SPED class. World Visions ABK3 LEAP is also extending assistance to certain students
who are laborers in haciendas to be able to help them get out of their present situation.
Teachers and non-teaching personnel are all nationally -funded. Mabinay
National High School is manned by a secondary school principal 1 with 53 teachers, 2 non-teaching
personnel assigned in the accounting section and a guidance counselor. The teachers are handling the
different subjects and serve as class advisers of the different sections. Others are handling ancillary
loads like being a registrar, a canteen manager, school statistician, advisers of the different
organizations, clinic in-charge etc. Other teachers are also subject trainers.
The number of classrooms is enough for the 29 sections but with a class size of
50-60. With the additional classrooms given, class size will become ideal in the future years. Classrooms
and other physical facilities are maintained with the use of MOOE funds and other donations received
during Brigada Eskwela and in the Adopt-A-School Programs.
To date, the school has not replaced yet what has been destroyed by the
conflagration. However, it was recently announced by the department through Congressman George
Arnaiz that the school will be a recipient a 2-storey building with 4 classrooms amounting to Php 4.8
million and water and sanitation facilities in the amount of Php1.2. The congressman also promised to
build a covered court to be shared by both the school and Mabinay Central Elementary School.
The principal, being the school manager, has carried out instructional
supervision aside from carrying out administrative tasks. She sees to it that each teacher or personnel is
given technical assistance as the need arises. With the 1,684 population, she has tried her best to
establish systems in the school so that the operation will be smooth. Each year level has a coordinator
and each subject area has a corresponding department head. Therefore, delegation of tasks and
accomplishing the same are not difficult.
Reward and Incentive System is designed at the school level to be able to
recognize performing teachers, parents, students and other stakeholders. There is an annual
Recognition Day for all the stakeholder groups who have shared their time, expertise and resources to
the school. Monthly culmination activities are held to address the multiple intelligences of the students.
A yearly celebration which highlights the best practices of the school is the High School Day featuring a
Trade Fair and other activities showcasing the talents of the students. A grand Alumni Homecoming has
been done every three years. Another important yearly activity is the Family Day to give parents and
their children a chance to be together and recognize each others contribution in their lives.Mabinay
National High School stands hand-in-hand with different stakeholders in exerting efforts to become
globally recognized for good governance and for developing functionally-literate and God-loving
Filipinos.
