You have the right to be recognized - NSO

That was the most striking statement said by the officers of the National Statistics Office (NSO) during their orientation on Touch Base Civil Registration Management System last August 25, 2009 at the school grounds.

Topics touched on how to have typographical errors on civil registry be corrected and other problems concerning request of certifications of birth, marriage, and non-marriage.

Seniors' recollection held

For in-depth spiritual formation among the seniors, a recollection was held at the Stigmatine Retreat House, Puerto, this city last August 22, 2009.

Series of activities were done like individual spiritual exercises, confession, film-viewing, group experience sharing, and eucharistic celebration.

The said recollection was organized by the catechists from the Agusan Parish Church.

The school wishes to thank the catechists for the job very well done. Also to the Barangay Council of Tablon for the back and forth transportation services they provided to the teachers and the students.

We are already wired!

Through the DepEd Internet Connectivity Project, TNHS is now officially connected to the internet with Globe Telecom as the service provider.

Bundled in the connectivity is a free landline phone number. So the school has now a contact number: 323-1061.

This is one way of raising the global competitiveness of the school.

Mentors take grad courses; Mahinay, Tan receive diplomas

To be masters in their teaching field, TNHS teachers took post-baccalaureate courses which started last month.

Mrs. Fe S. Pablico took MA in education major in English communication arts at Lourdes College and Mr. Richard I. Licayan, MA in science education major in general science at Bukidnon State University (BSU) as a DepEd scholar.

Mrs. Sarah O. Namoco, Mrs. Nancy L. Cairel and Mr. Fritzgerlad L Bate are set to finish their certificate programs in MAPEH, TLE and Social Studies respectively at Liceo de Cagayan University under the DepEd project for teaching non-specialists.

Last March, two teachers received their diplomas: Mr. Ray Butch D. Mahinay, MA in science education, major in general science as BSU-DepEd fellow and Mrs. Rosie G. Tan, MS in mathmatics education at Central Mindanao University.

For the record in TNHS' masters degree holders, it already has three which includes Mrs. Psyche B. Cambo, MA in industrial education at Mindanao Polytechnic State College.

A Change for the Best

For the past four years that the school paper of Tablon National High School is functioning as campus press, the only thing that questions the organizers of Press Conferences is its name.

The Acummittesse, is a conglomeration of three words - acumen, emissary and librettist - all of which has very deep meaning to the nature and role of campus journalism. Yet, there is no way that one can get it in a first encounter. A template on top of being really catchy, should be familiar. Like the words used should be universal that one cannot feel the necessity of asking 'what's it again?'

Hence for this present school year 2009-2010, a new name will be imprinted as our official school paper: The Radiant Banner!

The debut of this official web publication will also bear the name.

Alumni of TNHS can anytime get updated of what is new with their Alma Mater through this site. Riding on with this technology can reach out even those who are abroad.

The introductory part of the Tablon Hymn would go like these:

Wave high, the radiant banner
Emblem of the Tablon High
Well-spring of truth and virtue...

It is in our school hymn, that should explain why the radiant banner.
