Reedley is a proud anti-bullying school

  Where will  I enroll my child? is the usual questions that parents ask and talked about when their kids are ready for school. As a mom the next questions that comes to my mind is, Is the school safe for my kids?or will they teach them to be competitive to other children? I am an advocate of homeschooling and homestudy program because I see the impact it gives to a child when it comes to studies, And it's a privilege that I can homestudy my kids but to other parents who are not capable of teaching their child because of work and other responsibilities I really don't know what school to recommend.A lot of times I answer bring them to a progressive school or international school because in my mind they have better curriculum than the other schools and the students are not crowded in every class.

  Last May 9 I had an opportunity to attend a talk which really interest me. It's about anti-bullying and was conducted at Reedley International School.To my surprise they have this campaign against anti-bullying which is very rampant nowadays in schools,workshops,school clubs and organizations.They gave us an overview on how they  implement this campaign in school. Mr. Emil Ong talked about the history of Reedley and somewhat the bullying he experienced while he was growing up.

                                                                        Mr. Emil Ong

  Reedley International School was founded by Mrs. Nellie-Aquino Ong in 1999, it is the first and only institution among the top schools in Merto Manila and in the Philippines to provide a unique international program that enables students to learn more with a less stressful, yet engaging and challenging experience.
Serving families for over 13 years, Reedley has ensured that apart from being at par with international standards.It provides a nurturing learning environment to it's students, thus producing happy and well-rounded individuals. Reedley is currently a Candidate for Accreditation to be awarded by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)-USA and a regular Member of the Council of International Schools (CIS)-UK.

 I agree that Happy students are better learners, Reedley's Flagship subject, Life Skills, has been helping students to manage healthy relationships and work effectively by handling stress without sweating the small stuff. Life Skills uses The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and Happy Kids by Sean Covey as an anchor guide.In addition to Reedley's anti-bullying campaigns, the school integrates study skills, time management, and conflict resolution in it's curriculum.Since I also discovered that Reedley International School is a non-sectarian and respects each students belief.

Topic discussed were:
Common Types of Bullying

                                                                     Teacher Nico
Coping Mechanisms
Prevention

Concept of Reedley

                                                        Headmaster Jerome T. Castro
7 Habits

                                                         Teacher Joyce Guerero

                                                       2012- 2013 Valedictorian Justine

                                                       Reedley International School Staff

 The talk was so educational and interesting to both parents and educators.I hope that other schools will also have anti-bullying campaign in order to develop students who are will excel not only in academic but will also influence other people in their character.

Talk on Finances

   Yesterday we attended a talk on how to handle finances.The speaker was Finance Guru Chinkee Tan.It was held at Campus Crusade for Christ Bldg.and with attended by homeschooled families.The talk was very educating because it made us realize that we have wasted a lot of time spending instead of saving. At the same time it's so inspiring because we got some ideas from him on how to start saving now.

  According to him we have to create, handle, grow our finances.Think about the long-term or future, students must start saving now because they still have no obligations. We were given a task to write down our expenses like the electricity,water,telephone,tuition. But we forgot the birthday expenses, instant party invitation which is usually not monitored.I agree with that.

 There are also 6 steps to financial freedom that he told us.I know that these may not apply to everyone but we can get some ideas that will help us.For me it was an eye-opener for me to start again.I have been doing the eveloping before and it was helpful.But later on i got so busy.
 lastly what impact me was when he told us that not everyone can be a businessman but everyone can be an entrepreneur.And all these things will happen if we put our trust and pray to God.

                                                                  Listen and be blessed!

 Ms.Tintin Bersola-Babao celebrated the 2nd year Anniversary of Parentin.tv a website that features different topics about parenting and family relationships.The event was held at Richmonde Eastwood Hotel last September 10. It was an intimate event that consist of a number of mommy bloggers.It is a privilege to be part of this event. I have been a Parentin.tv member since 2009 from the Launching at Lancaster Hotel ,1st year Anniversary at Megamall and now it's 2nd year Anniversary.Being part of the different activities that Parentin.tv had for 2 years is so wonderful.

 Then there were speakers like Ms. Vanessa Garon from The Nazareth Formation House,she talked about The Addiction that can start from Early Childhood.There was a young lady and a young man who talked about their ordeal in dealing with it.They had to recover from computer games addiction. It was an eye-opener for me because it made me realize that my decision in homeschooling my kids was right. According to them they were influenced by peer or classmates.And I agree when they said that you have to know thw friends of your kids.They are still under the hands of The Nazareth Formation House it's a relief to know that there are people who are willing to understand kids that go through with this ordeal.

 The second speaker was Ms.Zonita Torevillas-Tamase, with a topic Healthier foods Alkalinity.She taught us the different foods that contain alkaline and that fruits is really good for the body.She even taught us the proper way of drinking 8 glasses of water everyday.Then a healthy drink was prepare for us made from powdered moringa and fruits.

 After the very educating talks we were toured around the Hotel by the Richmonde AVP, he showed us the different rooms and the amenities they offer for the clients. The ambiance was so relaxing even in the heart of Eastwood City.
