Feast day has been an annual celebration of every class in Divine Word College of Urdaneta. This is the day the students have been waiting for; to have a break with their academic stuff, to prepare foods and games, and to have a good time with their classmates.

This is not just a day of having fun, but also a day students, together with their adviser, shared their blessings with the children of Brgy. Bayaoas, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan.

The Leviticus class celebrated their feast day, together with their adviser, Mr. Jay- R D. Soriano last August 24, 2017. The celebration commenced with a mass at 8:45 AM presided by Fr. Roberto J. Ibay, SVD, the President of Divine Word College of Urdaneta, to give them a blessing for the whole day activities for the feeding program. There were 30 children accompanied by their guardians from Brgy. Bayaoas and each received gifts from different sponsors. The program was hosted by Paulin Mae Manzano, a grade 9 student. The feeding program started with the prayer led by Nadine Lucero followed by a welcome remark by Mr. Louise Lorian. In that program, there were games prepared by the students. The kids were very happy with their experience though some did not win the game. After the games, the food was served by the students of Grade 9 – Exodus, Genesis and Levitus Class It was a happy snack with sandwich, spaghetti, juice, yoghurt, biscuits, and hotdog with marshmallows.

It was such a good feeling to see those children with a big smile on their faces. They appreciated the foods and simple gifts they received given by the students and other sponsors. Truly, feast day is a breakthrough; the students not only enjoyed but also learned from the experience.

Classroom Management Workshops for DWCU Educators

Classroom Management Workshops

for DWCU Educators

In the utmost desire of the educators of DWCU to deliver quality education to the learners, a classroom management workshop was organized for them. It was facilitated by Dr. Reynald Mamasig, a DWCU Alumnus Batch ‘85. The said academic activity was held last August 11, 2017 at the DWCU Conference Hall. The workshop started with an opening remark given by the school President Fr. Ibay, SVD. He said, “Classroom management styles of teachers can be depicted along two dimensions (Baumrind, 1971): type of control exercised over students, and degree of involvement of teachers with students. Furthermore, in his welcome address, Fr. Ibay mentioned about the authoritative, the authoritarian, the permissive, and the indulgent style of classroom management.

Dr. Reynald Mamasig shared about the importance of creating and establishing an engagement with the students to have an effective classroom management. He encouraged the educators to employ varied means/style of greeting the learners to establish a connection with them. He said that learning is fun when there is participation and contextualization of the different concepts and strategies employed. The speaker also reminded the educators that they have a mentoring role and not just imparting knowledge. With this word, He said that teaching is an unconditional concern, it exudes meaningful sacrifice, it is impactful and paradoxical. He also emphasized that teaching needs to have vision, inclusivity, community and emotion (V.I.C.E)

Fr. Venerando Yator, SVD the DWCU Campus Minister was tasked to give the certificate of appreciation to Dr. Mamasig.  Mrs. Marlyn Laroco, the High School Principal  thanked the facilitator. She reiterated the value of having a vision before entering into the classroom and likewise the relevance of transforming the classroom as a class home to easily facilitate classroom management and ultimately to achieve quality education for the learners.
