Directors in carrying out its responsibilities to achieve the association’s Vision and Mission.
This report contains the association’s accomplishments for July, 2009– July, 2010 vis-à-vis the strategic

association. As a registered corporation, it shall submit annually to the SEC the reportorial and
requirements for non-stock, non-profit corporations.

The twinning program among schools implemented last School Year was evaluated by the new
set of Board of Directors and was replaced by a Stewardship Clustering Program, retaining the
same purpose of schools helping other schools in areas like increasing library holdings, in faculty
development program, in sharing resources for schools improvement, in mentoring the
administrators and faculty in the area of administration and major subjects and in providing
venues and other facilities in the conduct of seminars and assemblies. Schools are grouped
according to geographical location with an assigned lead-school to facilitate the program.
On Quality of Instruction and Evangelization

Teachers of member schools attended a two-day Seminar on Subtle Attacks against Family
Explained (S.A.F.E) held at Lucena City on July 3-4, 2010 sponsored by the Diocesan Family and
Life Commission. The seminar provided the teachers with the Catholic perspective on the issues
of population control and sex education in schools.

The survey “How Catholic is Your School” was conducted in 11 member schools which have a
High School Department. The result of the survey was interpreted and a collated report of the
result was presented during the Administrator’s Assembly held last July 30, 2010.

The faculty and school administrators participated in an Advent Recollection held
simultaneously in the four districts last December 2009. The Recollection was extended in the
afternoon with the teachers having a Christmas Party enhancing camaraderie and friendship
among them.

The different schools sent participants to the Leadership Training for Student Leaders
sponsored by Sacred Heart College, Lucena City held on November 14-15, 2009 which enabled
the students to learn from each other and from the resource persons' new ideas on Servant
Leadership.
On Resource Management
