HISTORY OF SAINT BENILDE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Fourteen years ago, Mr. Victorino Medalla suggested to the owner and now
school president, Mr. Wilfredo L. Opulencia, to expand business by putting up a
school since during that time there were only few private schools in the vicinity. A
project study of the place was then immediately conducted by a group composed of
Dr. Juanita Santos, a professor in the Graduate studies of Eulogio Amang Rodriguez
Institute of science and Technology (EARIST), Mr. Victorino Medalla himself and a
number of Project Engineers.

The project study was completed later in the same year. A meeting with the
group, together with Mr. Wilfredo L. Opulencia, was then convened in Calamba
Allied Industrial Corporation, another business property of Mr. Opulencia.

It was then announced that the project was feasible in the area (Opulencia
Compound, Crossing, Calamba City Laguna).

In 2002, all required documents pertinent to putting up the school were filed
at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and to the Department of
Education.

Among the names considered to bear the school name were Calamba
Academy and Saint Benilde Academy. Benilde was used in the memory of the school
owner’s great grandmother whose name was Benilda. None of the names however,
was approved by the SEC since the names have been used in or are close to the
school names used in Metro Manila. It was then that the name Saint Benilde
Academy was modified to Saint Benilde International School (Calamba), Inc.

In June 4, 2002, the SEC granted the Certificate of Incorporation to Saint
Benilde International School. The Department of Education released the approved
papers tomoperate the said institution.

community in June 2003 with 120 students composed of Nursery, Kinder,
Preparatory, and Grade 1 and 2. The school started with seven classrooms, a
computer room, and a library. Seven hardworking and dedicated teachers catered to
the needs of the students. To live up to its name as an International school and as per

Nihonggo for Secondary level as its elective subjects.

Promotional Policies
1. To be promoted to the next grade level, student must have passed a final
mark and conduct grade in all subjects.
2. A student is allowed to repeat his grade level for academic reasons only once
in the entire stay in SBIS provided his conduct in passing.
3. A student is allowed to repeat his grade level for academic reasons only once
in the entire stay in SBIS provided his conduct is passing.
4. A conduct of “D” will warrant his transfer to another school at the end of the
school year.

How are learners promoted or retained at the end of the school year?

This section provides the basis for promoting a learner to the next grade level
or for retaining a learner in the same grade level. These decision must be applied
based on evidence and judiciously.

A final grade of 75% or higher in all learning areas allows the student to be
promoted to the next grade level. Table 11 specifies the guidelines to be followed for
learner promotion and retention.

Table 11: Learner Promotion and Retention

Requirements Decision
For Grades 11 12 Learners 1. Final grade at least 75 in all
learning areas in a semester
Can proceed to the next semester
2. Did not meet expectations in a
prerequisite subject in a learning
areas.
Must pass remedial classes for
failed competencies in the
subject before being allowed to
enroll in the higher level subject.
3. Did not meet expectations in
any subject or learning areas at
the end of the semester.
Must pass remedial classes for
failed competencies in the
subjects or learning areas to be
allowed to enroll in the next
semester. Otherwise the learner
must retake the subject failed.
4. Must pass all subjects or
learning areas in Senior High
School.
Earn the Senior High School
certificate.
Ref. DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015
17

For Grade 11-12, learners who fail a unit/ set of competencies must be immediately
given remedial classes. They should pass the summative assessments during the
remediation to avoid a failing grade in a learning area/ subject. This will prevent
students from having back subjects in Senior High Schools (SHS). However, if the
learner still fails the remedial classes, he/she must retake the subject/s failed during
the summer or as a back subject. Guidance teachers/ career advocates must provide
support to the SHS student for his/her SHS tracks.

Summative assessments are also given during remedial classes. There are recorded,
computed, weighted, and transmitted in the same way as the quarterly grade. The
equivalent of the final grade for remedial classes is the remedial class mark (RCM).
The final grade at the end of the school year and the remedial class marks are
averaged. This results in the recomputed final grade. If the recomputed final grade is
75 or higher, the student is promoted to the next grade level. However, students will
be retained in the grade level if their recomputed final grade is below 75.

18
The teacher of the remedial class issues Certificate of Re-computed final grade which
is noted by the school principal. This is submitted to the division office and must be
attached to both Form 137 and School Forms Number 5. Figure 1 below shows a
sample certificate. The learner can enroll in the next grade level for Grade 1-10 and
in the next semester for Grades 11-12 upon presentation of the Certificate of Re-
Computed final grade. This certificate can be verified in the office as needed.

On School Discipline

Rationale

Discipline is a vital part of the entire learning experience. In view of this, the
school will make every effort to instruct and guide every student into achieving its
institutional objectives; part of which is to help the students make responsible choices
to understand that they have some control of the events that happened to them.

To enable the school to attain its goals, it will adopt and enforce certain
policies on the school discipline. It is the process of training and guiding the students
to form their character and develop their sense of responsibility and accountability as
citizens in the society. It is therefore imperative that all students must understand to
abide by the rules and regulations set by the school.

These routines are not made to militarize our procedures in school, but they
serve as the teachers’ and students’ guide as to what is expected daily. Adjustments
may be made depending on the call of the situation. These should be given and
explained to know what to do and what to avoid.

Disobedience =Disciplinary actions not as PUNISHMENT but as
CONSEQUENCE

directly to the Principal as to what would be the best means to assist students in their
studies.

CHILD PROTECTION/ ANTI -BULLYING POLICY

Saint Benilde International School (Calamba), Inc. believes that all students
have a right to a safe place and healthy school environment. The school community
have obligations to promote mutual respect, tolerance and acceptance.

The school will not tolerate behavior that infringes on the safety of any
student. A student shall not intimidate, harass or bully another student through words
or actions. Such behavior includes direct physical contact, such as hitting or shoving;
verbal assaults such as teasing or name calling; and social isolation or manipulation.

The school expects school personnel like teachers and staff, even students
and parents as well as to immediately report incidents of bullying to the principal or
designee. Staff who witnesses such acts take immediate steps to intervene when safe
to do so. Each complaint of bullying should be promptly investigated. This policy
applies to students on school grounds, while travelling to and from school or a
school-sponsored activity, during the lunch period, whether on or off campus, during
school-sponsored activities.

To ensure bullying does not occur on schools on school campuses, the school
will provide staff development training or will let teachers and staff attend seminars,
trainings, lectures in bullying preventions and cultivate acceptance and understanding
in all students and staff to build each school’s capacity to maintain a safe and healthy
learning environment.

The school will also provide students training to develop their knowledge,
attitudes and skills when choosing alternatives to self-destructive, violent behavior
and dissolve interpersonal and intergroup conflict.

Teachers should discuss this policy with their students in age-appropriate
ways and should assure them that they need to fight any form of bullying. Students
who bully are in violation of this policy and are subject to disciplinary actions up to
including expulsion.

58
Each student will be given a Student Handbook which will serve as his/her
guide when it comes to Student Discipline.

The school will make every effort to instruct and guide all students not to
engage themselves into bullying. Therefore, the students have to diligently observe
the Student Code of Conduct stipulated in the Student Handbook. To wit:

1. Any student who engages into bullying may be subject to disciplinary action
up to and including expulsion.
2. Student involved in a dispute will be subject to parental conference in the
presence of their parents, the prefect of discipline and the principal and to be
referred to the guidance counselor for counseling purposes. All discussion
and conferences held regarding student involvement in dispute will be kept
confidential.
3. Students especially in the High School level are to resolve their disputes
without resorting to violence.
4. Students can rely in both the prefect of discipline and the guidance who will
promptly investigate each complaint of bullying and dispute and conduct
counseling in a thorough and confidential manner. They, as well as the
principal are trained in conflict resolution and peer mediation strategies to
intervene in any dispute like to result in violence.
5. If the complaint-student or the parent of the student feels that appropriate
resolution of the investigation or complaint has not been reached yet, the
parent of the student should inform the principal the status of the
investigation conducted by the prefect of discipline to fast track the
resolution of the case.
6. Students have the right to safe and healthy school environment. Part of a
healthy environment is the freedom to openly disagree. With this freedom
comes the responsibility of the school and the parent of the student to discuss
and resolve disagreements with respect for the rights and opinions of one
another.
7. Students who need help in resolving a disagreement, or student who observes
conflict may approach any of the following: the assigned classroom adviser,
the prefect of discipline, the guidance counselor or the principal for that
matter.

59

8. The school prohibits retaliatory behavior against any complaint or any
participant in the complaint process.
9. All teachers and staff, students and their parents will get acquainted with this
policy during the teachers and staff, students and their parents will get
acquainted with this policy during the teachers and staff orientation and
parents’ orientation with emphasis on prohibition of intimidation and
bullying at the beginning of the school year, and as part of the student
handbook. The school will make reasonable efforts to keep a report of
bullying and the result of investigation is confidential.
10. All school personnel who witness acts of bullying shall take immediate steps
to intervene when safe to do so. People witnessing or experiencing bullying
are strongly encouraged to report the incident; such reporting will not reflect
on the target or witness in any way.
11. The teachers and the staff have the authority to act to prevent violence,
ensure campus safety, maintain order, and discipline student.
12. A Child Protection Committee (CPC) will be involved in the investigation
process once it is proven by the prefect of discipline that there is really a
ground for bullying after having conducted the preliminary investigation. He
will recommend the involvement of the CPC to the office of the principal.
The members of the committee are: The principal, the prefect of discipline,
guidance counselor, a representative from teachers, and a parent –
representative, a representative from the Student Body Organization and a
