Here's the continuation:
St. Dionysius School
This is a small school in ParaƱaque. If I'm not mistaken, the population there is less than 130, sharing 5 classrooms. And administration staff there also serve as teachers.
SDS has been my second home for 5 years (Grade 2 - Grade 6). I owe a lot from this school. It played a big part of laying my foundations. My ideals, crave for learning, political and social awareness, and a lot of the traits that I have could all be traced back here. Not to mention that this is also the birth place of my stage career.
I am very proud to be a product of this school for it is different from all the schools that I've entered. Here knowledge is cultivated side by side with values. The environment inside is more of a family than the usual "Teacher-student" or "Administration-student". The rights and responsibilities of everyone is emphasized so as ethics and proper conduct expected from educated individuals.
The style of learning here is very different from other schools that I've attended. Lectures are balanced with hands-on activities such as Board Works, Seat Works, and Experiments. Other schools are doing the same thing but it is not as balanced as it is in SDS. Another thing, in SDS, teachers are not the only source of learning. Students also learn from their co-students through our practice every teachers' week. During this week, students from grade 4 -6 who wish to teach are welcome to do so. And I'm very proud to be one of those allowed to teach 5 subjects which includes Geometry, Algebra, and Science.
I was not able to visit SDS for 6 years so I decided to visit it this year. Unfortunately, I heard that it has changed its name and under a new administration. Hopefully i could visit it one of these days.
