BAYA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
NARRATIVE REPORT FOR PROJECT BAGSIC
(Beautification And Greening the School Initiative and Cleanliness)
Schools
do the best that they can to provide the most conducive learning environment
for the learners. Providing a safe, child-friendly, and motivating environment
is one of the main concerns of the school aside from delivering quality
instruction. One can judge the effectiveness of a school through its quality of
instructions, excellent delivery of basic educational services and conducive
learning environment.
Baya
Elementary School (BES) underwent several transformations brought about by
changes in leadership, modernization, and natural causes. In 2020, one of the
major problems confronting the school is its poor learning environment which
affects the achievement level of learners, enrolment, and stakeholders’ support
for the school.
It
is for this reason that the school initiated a school – based intervention
project entitled “Project BAGSIC” (Beautification
And
Greening
the School
Initiative and Cleanliness
Campaign in order to address the problems’ brought about by the school’s poor
learning environment.
This conceptualized intervention project was launched in 2020, that focuses mainly on the beautification and cleanliness of the school grounds in its first year of implementation. The school planning team (SPT) headed by the school principal Ms. Alma C. Aguirre, Project team and other members identified partners for its first year of implementation.

The first year of Implementation of Project BAGSIC was very tough. Taking into consideration the funds, manpower needed to start the project, and the wide scope of work needed to be done. The main focus was the school grounds that need a lot of improvement. Classroom also need to be restructured to provide conducive learning environment for the learners. Massive landscaping was also a priority to green the school.

Project BAGSIC partnered with the YES-O club through their “Pera sa Basura”, as a partner, they were in charge of beautifying the school garden and conducted regular clean up drive around the school grounds. It also heightened environmental awareness and promote cleanliness and advocacy to school as No Littering and Zero Waste School.

partner was the Supreme Pupil Government (SPG). They spearheaded the “Oplan
Dampot” and “Project Luntian ” these initiatives aim to inculcate the value of
cleanliness among learners and maintain a green school environment by planting
flowering and ornamentals plants around the school premises respectively.

Another
challenge was the revival of the school vegetative garden. Project BAGSIC
collaborated with the Gulayan sa Paaralan in order to revive the said area. The
PTA led the revival of the school garden. They were able to solicit funds from
other stakeholders and some local government officials which were used to
purchase seedlings for the garden vegetables and harvested were used for the
feeding programs of the school.
