World Water Monitoring Challenge website featured Diclum Elementary School
Diclum Elementary School joins WWMC the Fourth Time
12/14/2012
Submitted by Terence Dave S. Pelingon, M. Ed.
On their last school day before going on a
Christmas break, 63 sixth grade students of Diclum Elementary School in
the Philippines ecstatically trooped to Diclum River for World Water
Monitoring Challenge 2012, the fourth time the school had since 2009.
Two classes participated, one in the morning and another in the
afternoon. Each class had 5 groups and each of them was assigned at five
different spots within the stretch of Diclum River, including its
surrounding marsh. Though it was a very hot day, students enjoyed
basking under the sun just to know the current state of river where the
life of nearby neighborhoods of the barrio circumvents. It was spring
tide when the WWMC was held, so the students were surprised to see an
unusual level of river water being pushed upstream by sea water near its
mouth. There were also lots of floating debris as the water level
reached further inland. The air temperature was 35ºC while the average
water temperature was 29 ºC. Turbidity at site 1 was 40JTU while it’s 0
JTU at site 2. The DO was 4 ppm, average pH was 7.6, and the average %
saturation was 51.8.
This year, the Water Environment Federation through Ms. Lorien Walsh had
donated to the school a box of ten WWMC kits fresh from Virginia. A
sigh of relief for the class which had been using a single kit for the
whole class in the past three years it had been joining the WWMC. With
these new kits, the class held the event this year more efficiently as
the students no longer had to squabble over scant equipment.
Being a public-supported school in a rural barrio of the Philippines,
the Diclum Elementary School faced numerous hardships with regard to
financing children's activities in their Science class. Yet with the
leadership of its science teacher, Mr. Terence Dave S. Pelingon, and
with the support of the benefactors both local and foreign, the school
achieved success and placed itself on the world stage.
EARLY SCHOOL REGISTRATION for School Year 2013-14 set on January 26th
REPOSTED FROM Rappler.com
DepEd opens Jan 26 early registration in public schools
The education department has declared January 26, Saturday, as Early Registration Day in all public schools for school year 2013-2014 to ensure the enrolment of all students in public schools. But enrolment in kindergarten and grade 1 will be prioritized.
This follows the launch last year of DepEd's K to 12 Basic Education Program, in which all 5-year old children are required to study kindergarten.
The program requires kindergarten education as a prerequisite for admission to grade 1, but DepEd has decided to admit even those without kindergarten experience "to achieve universal participation and completion of basic education of all Filipino children."
For school year 2013-2014, those born in October 2008 or earlier shall be eligible for early enrolment in kindergarten, while those born in October 2007 or earlier, with or without kindergarten experience, shall be eligible for early enrolment in Grade 1.
Education Secretary Armin Luistro said that this initiative will enable the department "to make the necessary preparation and to address potential resource needs in time for the opening of classes in June."
The early enrolment will also be open to other levels, particularly to transferees.
Incoming grades II-IV and second to fourth year students who will study in the same school need not enrol, as they will be automatically registered in the next grade or year level. For incoming first year high school students, their elementary schools will submit their names to concerned high schools.
Out-of-school youth included
DepEd will also open the early registration for other elementary and high school levels to accommodate transferees and out-of-school youth.
The department stated that they would like to guarantee that the out-of-school youth, including street children and some members of indigenous groups, will be attending school in school year 2013-2014.
Luistro said they will be provided their preferred education delivery system, which could either be through alternative delivery mode (ADM) or alternative learning system (ALS).
“We are enlisting the assistance of local and barangay officials for the early registration of the out-of-school youth," he said. - Rappler.com

Diclum ES pupil wins International Art Contest award
The Diclum Elementary School takes pride of its yet another achievement, but now in a much grander scale---International Level.
After making history in 2009 as the first and only public school participant from the Philippines in the 2009 World Water Monitoring Day, the Diclum Elementary School again made history this time.
Cris Lorenz S. Calubiran, a Class 2011 Valedictorian, won an Excellence Award in the 2010-2011 Mitsubishi Asian Children's Enikki Festa (Festival Asian Children's Art).
There were four (4) of them from the Philippines who won the same award and another four (4) Filipino children who won the Grand Prix and Organizers' Choice awards. These eight (8) children from the Philippines were among the 74 winners picked from 24 participating countries in Asia.
The winners (Excellence Award) won a certificate from Mitsubishi Public Affairs Committee and Department of Education Philippines, a commemorative gift, and a book collection of the 2010-11 Enikki Festa winning artworks.
The Mitsubishi Asian Children's Enikki Festa 2010-11 was held in 2010 in 24 Asian countries and regions with the theme "Let me tell you about how we live." Including those from Japan, a total of 77,338 entries (each entry consisting of 5 works) were received. Screening committees in each country and region held primary screenings to select eight works from among those received and then sent them to Japan. There were 564,612 drawings that have been received since the start of the project.
