PROJECT HUGPONG: A Collaborative Activity of JBLFMU (Arevalo) SHS Grade 11 & 12

By: Mrs. Mary Mae Jun P. Esmaya  (Principal)

Date: November 17, 2023

Introduction:

One of the Annual Operational Programs of JBLFMU is the use of the Puerto del Mar as an academic venue. Puerto del Mar (PDM) is one of academic sites under the JBLF System. It is located in Poblacion, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras.

The Senior High School (SHS) Department initiated Project Hugpong 2023 for the SY 2023 – 2024. Project Hugpong is an initiative to create Collaborative Performance Tasks among the SHS Subjects. It is a project to utilize the PDM as an academic site. Series of activities were crafted to ensure that core competencies are met in different subject areas.

It is the fervent commitment of the SHS Department to deliver relevant quality education. Thus, we empower our learners by providing them learning opportunities outside of the four walls of the classroom. Collaborative tasks are designed to address competencies of more than one subject. Please see attached performance tasks.

Project Hugpong empowers learners. It provides diverse activities which require team efforts and individual creativity. It showcases a sense of discipline, integrity, excellence, perseverance, loyalty and equity. The collaborative tasks were designed to further evaluate competencies in different subject areas.

Project Hugpong is a bold step in ensuring that the curriculum is relevant in order to produce job-ready, active and responsible citizens.

Program Objectives:

The following are the specific objectives of Project Hugpong:

a. provide meaningful learning experiences through collaborative outputs;

b. leverage the skills of learners from the different subject competencies through authentic performance tasks; and

c. reframe learners’ thinking from how to survive into how to thrive in the society by providing experiences beyond the four walls of the classroom.

Implementation:  

Program was conducted on November 17, 2023.  

A permit to conduct the activity was done through the Department of Education – Division of Iloilo City.

A letter to the parent was sent to inform them about the activity.

A waiver/parent’s/guardian’s consent was secured.

Implementation of the Practice:

Parents and guardians were informed through a formal letter about the activity. Students were asked to secure a parents’ consent before the conduct of the activity. A permit to conduct the activity was secured through the Department of Education – Division of Iloilo City. Series of activities were done after a general orientation and program.

Results of Practice: An evaluation of the activity was done among the learners. Results showed that the over-all experience of the learners are outstanding.

Need some clarification about the time schedule of the event

It was the traveling that was exhausting, not the activity. Despite some unclear directions, it was a pleasant experience.

One of the best activity that SHS Department had. Best experience for us students, we enjoy the activities, we explore the beautiful PDM and I hope we can come back there, a very tiring yet we enjoy and spent out time there very fun!. All in all it was very great and memorable experience, especially for us grade 12, that will be graduating in senior high next year. KUDOS to all the SHS Faculty for this successful activity.... THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR MAKING OUR GRADE 12 LIFE, MEMORABLE....

The event is an overall great experience and a great relief to our academic overload however it seems short and needs more to be added

Very good

Nice Place.

Thanks for learning

Worth It ang pagod

The greatest flaw I have observed regarding the event is that given the amount of students present in the event, proper cohesion is barely plausible since the sheer amount posed as a massive barrier to the proper dissemination of orders and information leading to disorder that is only resolved by intervention once the disorder is visible to the facilitators up front. Furthermore, even though the transport of students generally went smoothly, the first half of the event within Pwerto Del Mar was not as smooth especially in regards to the baggage of students that caused confusion that didn't help on the ongoing disorder. Overall, all I could say is that given the scale of the event it is either the number of students must be minimized for proper cohesion to be achieved or if the amount of students is needed for the event to go as planned then advisory teachers must hold an active role in keeping order within the lines of students so authority may be present in every corner to enforce student behavior and clarify information for the participants

THE activity is very helpful for the students because it makes us rest from study

Thank you

The PDM is so fun

Lessons Learnt:

Project Hugpong is a bold risk for the SHS Department. We were tasked to bring six hundred four (604) students to Puerto del Mar, Guimaras. The activity was only for one day. As a department, our unity and cooperation were strengthened. The administration, faculty, staff, students, parents and guardians were all instrumental in the success of the activity. It was a risk worth taking as the SHS Department was able to utilize Puerto del Mar as an academic site. Further, the innovative ideas from the faculty in crafting authentic and meaningful performance tasks were vital. These tasks addressed the most essential learning competencies of the subject areas. Relevant performance tasks allowed students to create outputs intended in the preservation of the environment as well as their key roles in nation building. Teamwork was evident during the activities. Learners were tasked to take on their teams to produce meaningful outputs. Cooperation among learners was also practiced during the activities. They were given time duration to complete tasks thus enabling their independence and creativity. Project Hugpong is but a breakthrough in the SHS Department. Truly, in unity there is strength.

Conclusions:

Project Hugpong will continue in the next SY as part of the Annual Operational Plan of the Department. The collaborative efforts to produce meaningful outputs in more than one subject area provided an opportunity for both teachers and learners to learn and grow together. Further, a better and stronger camaraderie and friendship was built. The dedication of the SHS Department in evident in this project as we do not confine learning in the four walls of the classroom. More so, this project proved the strong partnership of the department to its different stakeholders.
