GUBA NHS LIVCOM PROJECT AWARDS ENTRY

The Gulayan sa Paaralan (Vegetable
Gardens at School) is a program which
helps the school to have holistically
healthy students through eating organic
vegetables. These vegetables are
purely organic from pesticides to the
vermicasts used. Gulayan sa
Paaralan’s vision extend up to the
neighborhood areas which serve as
replicators of the organic vegetable
gardens located at their respective
backyards. The area used both in
school and in the community were also
filled and decorated with various
recyclable materials such as plastic
bottles, tires, flour and rice sacks, used
woods, paint container caps, and
others. Bountiful organic harvest was
tasted by the students as well as the
buyers that make reservations even
before harvest season. The ILAKAD
Program, the banner program of Guba
NHS Nestlè Wellness Campus
contributed ways to attain sustainability
by strengthening the utilization of the
usage of water tumblers instead of
disposable or plastic glasses. The
ILAKAD and PANGAMOT Program,
Student Supreme Government
Officers, and the Boy Scout and Girl
Scout of the Philippines worked
simultaneously to strengthen school’s
advocacy in promoting sustainability
through clean-up drives and tree
planting activities. The Brigada
Eskwela, a national campaign to
promote strengthening of quality
education provided a huge contribution
to the implementation of sustainability
since majority of its projects were
aligned to the other programs of the
school.
It has been a lifestyle of Guba NHS to
integrate eco-friendly and
sustainability in different learning
areas. One of the best examples was
the Senior High school Department
“Turo Negosyo Goes Zero Waste”
where learners were taught how to
become competent entrepreneurs
while targeting for zero waste through
utilization of indigenous materials as
packaging and recycling plastic
bottles to become plant boxes.
Another example was the Sci-Math
(Science and Math) Month
Culmination where representatives in
each grade level showcased their
masterpiece of dresses made from
recycled materials and a competition
of making any product out from
school waste. During Christmas
Season, “parol“(lantern)makin g,
“belen” (shack) making, and
Christmas tree making utilization of
indigenous and recycled materials
were also one of the mechanics.
