School Plants

and Facilities

Plants and trees in the campus are put into proper places and the areas are really maintained by the maintenance.

The facilities that a student needed are present and as what our guide said that if they need more facilities they just give request to the main campus to provide what they needed and what their students needed. They also have a drinking fountain cold and ready to serve students who are thirsty. The campus has their two canteen and vending machines.

Plants and trees are present. Trees are sometimes used as the shed for the students who want to study outside the classroom.

There facilities are present but what I observed is that some of those facilities are very expensive because most of the students there need attention, especially that pupil who has cochlear implant who really needs full attention.

Botanical garden is present in the campus. Plants and flowers are properly arranged and cultivated properly.

Facilities are complete and most are an expensive one. They have their own canteen. For the students to eat. They have fire extinguishers incase of fire. Lockers are present in the pathway and also inside the classroom for the students things like books to put if they are not going to use it. in every classroom they have six (6) wall fans for the students, 12 florescent lamps for the students light source even if the rooms are already ventilated and well lighted because of the open walls.

They don’t have many plants in the campus because of the space they had. It only occupied a small ground area that can produce soil for the plants.

I don’t really saw their facilities because we did not tour the area because of the presentation they had for us. But I believe that they are really producing good facilities because as what I observed to those who spoken to introduce their school shows how their school provides a good quality of education.

Few plants are present because of the structure of the campus area.

The school is really providing good facilities and each department have their own facilities needed for their subjects like the nursing department. They have their own facilities for them to have hands – on activities and laboratory activities. Engineering department is provided with their own facilities related to their course. In addition, the campus has their elevator for the students not to take stairs if they want to go on every floor. Their rooms are all air-conditioned.

Lots of trees are found. There are really huge and it is clean as I view it on the building.

Good Facilities are present and they also had their elevator for the stairs to be not too crowded when the students are going home or going in other area of the campus.

Classroom

Management/

School Policies

Classroom management was properly observed and followed by the teacher especially during their examination where student are one seat far from each other.

Policies that they are observing are cleanliness and respect to others.

The campus is really focusing on the management of their classroom because they are observing more into the behavior of their students because they need attention.

Respect is the most specific behavior that they want to observe.

In ateneo campus they are very organized and well managed. Teachers are really respected and being followed by the students. As what I observed during their class session, they are focus on listening to the instruction of the teacher and once the teacher told them to exchange paper they will automatically respond and do what was told them to do no more buts and during the giving of scores they just tell their last name alphabetically then the score they got and no need for the
