First Performance Task Assessment awaits the kids on July 20- 23
HCEC is into AUTHENTHIC ASSESSMENT of pupils’ learning and understanding thru the PERFORMANCE TASK ASSESSMENT. The usual paper and pen test has no room for HCECians during the Performance Task Assessment (PTA) on July 20-23 2009. The PTA measures and evaluates the pupils learning and mastery of skills and competencies by performing a task assigned by the teacher. The PTA as form of evaluating the pupils has three (3) important elements namely the goal, role and the output. The goal and the role will be the instrument for the child to display his/her skills which will produce an output.
A concrete example is the child is asked to use the skills in different kinds of sentences in a relevant situation (goal). The pupils will act as a storyteller (role) where he/she will relate his/ her own story using the different kinds of sentence (output). If the pupils were able to do the goal, role and the output he/she will be given a rating using rubrics or a set of criteria that measures his/her performance.In this way, the pupils will not be focusing on memorization which is a lower thinking skill but more on skills that entail application, analysis, creativity and problem solving which referred to as Higher Order Thinking Skills. For one week, the pupils will be given the task to perform during their subject time.
Eureka! HCEC Grade School Math Circle
To bolster the pupils’ problem solving skills, the Grade School Math Department Organized the Math Circle that aims to boost the competence and confidence level of the Math-Logical intelligent pupils who passed the qualifying test held last July 10, 2009 during the ACT-Hi-Pro Math class.
Pupils from grades 1-6 vied for the top 5 positions who will qualify to become members of the Math Circle. 30 pupils, 5 from each level are now official members of this elite club. They will undergo skills training which will start after the 1st PTA.
Mdm. Elen B. Oafallas, the Math Subject Area Head envisions to showcase the skills and talents of the pupils in Math thru different contests and competition.
The Math Circle Mentors will conduct another qualifying test to come up with the 3-Member Team per level to compete in the MTAP competition this year.
The Math Circle Members will meet every Friday at 3:00-5:00 Pm for their Math Skills Training. Parents of the members will be given a letter for consent contract.

It’s Fusion and Flora & Fauna on top of the HCEC’s Nutri-Eco Celebration
This year’s theme of the Nutrition Month Celebration is “ Wastong Nutrisyon Kailangan, Life Style Diseases Iwasan” focuses on the prevention of the illnesses brought by unhealthy life style. From personal hygiene and health habits to food preference, which greatly affects our health conditions, these health practices must be checked and evaluated.
This theme is integrated with the Ecology Consciousness Month’s celebration with a twin concept of: MAAYOS NA KAPALIGIRAN TUNGO SA MAGANDANG KALUSUGAN. Health is relative to Environment, thus play important role in our children’s growth. HCEC Grade School July activity will be spearheaded by FUSION AND FLORA &FAUNA ARA CLUBS. Activities are designed to instill enduring learning on the essence of the theme. Every Friday, grade schoolers will be given enriching and learning tasks that will showcase their competence, creativity and character that will help them understand the essence of good health life style and the environment -friendly practices.

Transport Strike causes confusion
Last Monday’s alleged National Transport Strike gave so much perplexity to most of our parents as to send their children to school or not. It also gave the Management a dilemma as to suspend or not to suspend the classes. Decision making this time entails wisdom based from factual and accurate data gathering. The school decided not to suspend the class due to the following:
1. Based from the radio announcement, “Cam Sur is not joining the strike”;
2. Most of our pupils are not public utility transpsort commuters;
3. No declaration from DepEd has been made.
When this time comes, UNLESS there is a declaration from DepEd, HCEC will have classes. Pupils who will be absent on that day due to difficulty in getting a transport will be excused from class.
To get the accurate data of the mode of transport of HCECians, parents are requested to fill-up the Survey Form. The data that will be gathered will help the school management in decision making.
