OUR CORE VALUES



EXCELLENCE…we live by

        We believe in Excellence.  We believe in the adage that “there is no substitute for excellence, not even success.”  We are committed to contribute towards the creation of a self-reliant and self sufficient people by helping them achieve their full potentials and capabilities as human beings living in a community through a remarkable head start in their formative years of life.
         Each child must be given a warm and loving environment, a freedom to explore their world, and challenges to spark the flame of excellence within them.

                  
SERVICE...we pledge

         We believe in Service.  Public service is a public trust.  Every pupil and parent is special.  We always bear in mind that because of them, we exist.  We are committed to give the best public service they deserve.    Each child must be given the best learning experience possible, with efficiency, professionalism, competence, and passion as its cornerstone.


COMPETENCE…we strive for

         We believe in Competence.  The most important asset of the school is the teachers.  We believe that the best teacher who could produce a bright pupil is the one who had been a bright pupil or student himself.  We believe in a competitive, open, and credible selection process for teacher applicants in order to attract the best and the brightest teacher education graduate to our school.
         We believe that a good teacher is open-minded and responsive to the changing times.  Every teacher must be open to accept criticisms, willing to listen to comments and suggestions of his peers, supervisors, or parents, flexible to adapt good teaching and learning practices, and honest enough to accept his weaknesses.
         We are committed to bring out the best in every teacher we have through various training programs, peer mentoring, and strong support system designed to improve their skills, enhance their personality, sharpen their efficiency, and rekindle their passion for teaching.

The Diclum Elementary School found out that several schools in Antique and elsewhere have plagiarized our core values published on this website and in the SIP we have submitted to the Division Office. 
We strongly condemn this culture of cheating and dishonesty among the teachers in DepEd. 

Our SIP had been named in 2008 as the Best in Antique and has been cited as the best example of such document in a many seminars and talks. We are proud to call it our own...a product of our own hard work and brainstorming.
