GUIDELINES FOR VISITING JHLIS-BATAAN

WELCOME TO JAIME HILARIO INTEGRATED SCHOOL-La Salle.

We are a school that seeks to make the care of the environment our major thrust. It is for this purpose that we educate our young people so that they will have the competency to become good stewards of God’s creation. We thank you for your partnership with us and hope that your stay will be pleasant and enriching.

1. Take noting but photos. We discourage the bringing home of shells, corals and other sea creatures for souvenirs. Beautiful as they may seem, these souvenirs are the home of some sea creatures who in turn are the partners of other sea creatures in the web of life.

2. Leave nothing but your footprints. We discourage the use of disposables such as Styrofoam food containers, paper plates, plastic cups and utensils. Should you find the need to make use of these materials, we request that you take them back with you when you leave.

3. We make attempts to manage the solid waste in the community through proper waste segregation. Green bins are for biodegradables such as food, fruit and vegetable peelings and dead leaves. There is a compost pit in the school where these materials are placed. Red bins are for recyclables like plastic water bottles and zesto packs. A Materials Recovery Facility is also in place to make these available for recycling. Blue bins are for disposables like candy wrappers, crumpled pieces of paper and tissue paper.

4. We wish to be good neighbors with those whom we share the community with. Clothing that is simple and appropriate to interaction with our neighbors is thus recommended. Boisterous behavior, use of foul language are discouraged. Smoking and drinking are not allowed in the school or in the community. At all times, respectful behavior towards our neighbors is to be observed.

5. Should you wish to make donations to the students or the community, we request that you coordinate with the school Principal or the school’s Community Organizer. This will ensure that your contributions are well-integrated into the plans of the school and the community. Likewise, as we wish to avoid a dole-out mentality from creeping in, it would be good to make the donations to the school or to the Sito Looc Municipal Fishermans’ Association rather than to individual students or community members.

6. Should photos and videos of students or the community be integral to your program, we request that you inform the school Principal or Community Organizer. It would be ideal if there is one designated photographer or videographer for your group.

7. Come to the community ready to give and to receive. Be ready to share your gifts and talents but be ready as well to welcome the gifts and talents of those you will meet.

For weekend or overnight trips, our school can accommodate groups of 15 to 20 persons : We are happy to allow you the use of our Science laboratory for your meals and the AVRoom for your sleeping quarters. Two shower rooms can be made available. Cooking facilities can be made available upon request. The school can make arrangements for your food at P350 per day for three meals. A modest contribution to defray the cost of the facilities used will be appreciated. The Brothers’ house is a private residence.
