administration established an extension school in Tawid-Tawid to help those families
who have no means to send their children to school. They opened the kinder level in
2004.They are not only given academic assistance but also spiritual formation.
Student catechists of Our Lady of Peace School, Antipolo reach outto the children by
giving short catechesis andconducting feeding program every Saturday.Most of the

attention and assistance to understand the lesson.
