Message from the Headmaster: Keith P. Jones
Dear Parents
We have some very busy weeks ahead. In less than 5 weeks the students will perform this year’s Christmas production – The Wiz. Most of the seats in the spectacular
ResortsWorld theater have already been sold, so if you don’t yet have yours booked,
you will need to do so soon. At the beginning of next week photos of the cast for the
show’s souvenir program will be taken. These will be in full costume and this is sure
to generate lots of excitement.
Coming up next week is this month’s Counselor Coffee morning. This is a great opportunity for you to share in a free-flowing discussion about the development of children and what their futures might hold after they leave school. Please note this in
your diaries.
At the end of this month, Tuesday, 29th November, will be an early release day. Preschool will be dismissed at 11.40pm and the rest of the school will be able to leave
school at midday. The following day, Wednesday, 30th November, is Bonifacio Day
and this is a national holiday.
On Thursday, 1st December, the children will return to school. For the Upper School
this will be the first day of their end of semester examinations. Examinations will
finish on Tuesday, 6th December.

On behalf of the PTA Board and the CISM parents, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to our CISM Korean Moms for their generous donation of Ten Thousand Pesos (PhP 10,000.00).
Our Korean friends sold their country’s delicious food and delicacies
during United Nations Day and the proceeds of which was given to the
PTA.
Thank you so much!
Our best,

Lupang Hinirang
Bayang Magiliw
Perlas ng Silanganan,
Alab ng puso
Sa dibdib mo'y buhay.
Lupang hinirang,
Duyan ka ng magiting,
Sa manlulupig,
'Di ka pasisiil.
Sa dagat at bundok,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
May dilag ang tula at awit
Sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
Tagumpay na nagniningning,
Ang bituin at araw niya
Kailan pa ma'y 'di magdidilim.
Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't
pagsinta,
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;
Aming ligaya, na 'pag may mangaapi
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa 'yo.
** Lupang Hinirang is the national anthem of the
Philippines. Its music was composed in 1898 by
Julian Felipe in Spanish, with lyrics adapted from
the poem Filipinas, written by a young poet-soldier
named Jose Palma in 1899.**

Panatang Makabayan
Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas, aking Lupang Sinilangan
Tahanan ng aking lahi, kinukupkop ako at tinutulungan
Upang maging malakas, masipag, at marangal.
Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipinas,
Diringgin ko ang payo ng aking mga magulang.
Susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan,
Tutuparin ko ang tungkulin ng mamamayang makabayan;
Naglilingkod, nag-aaral, at nagdarasal ng buong katapatan.
Iaalay ko ang aking buhay, pangarap at pagsisikap sa bansang Pilipinas
