The Special Program For The Arts of SPNHS

The Special Program for the Arts has been one of the known banners of Sapang Palay
National High School; from enhancing the innate talents of the students and winning several
local and national competitions, to being seen in mall exhibits and musical shows, SPA
provides quality education for the mastery of the different artistic crafts. This year is no
different, as SPA maintained its significance as a special program.
SPA, for this year, has continued expanding its family and resources, and also nurture
the talents of the students with their new SPA coordinator, Mrs. Eloisa S. Orpilla, Media Arts
Specialist. This was due to the promotion of previous coordinator Mrs. Bernadette B.
Rosaroso as Education Supervisor I in Physical Education. A tribute program was held for the
promotion of The Dancing Queen of SPNHS last August 23, as she was one of the
foundations of the SPA in school.
As an annual program, SPA started the school year with the SPA Students Orientation
that was conducted on the first day of Balik Eskwela (June 3, 2013). This is to orient the SPA
students, specifically the Grade VII artists about the school rules and regulations. In addition,
a Parents Orientation program was held last June 7 to have the parents be familiarized with
the SPA activities throughout the year.
More importantly, the SPA organized several seminar workshops for the different
fields of arts. Such workshops and training aim to enhance the students talents and skills in
their specialty, and also to teach them new techniques in the creation of their masterpieces.
There was the Flute Seminar-Workshop for SPA music students led by Maestro Ursula
and his daughter, which was attendant by 364 students from the music rondalla, orchestra,
drum and lyre and voice groups. Flute then became a minor of all the students of music.
Another workshop was entitled School Training-Workshop of SPA Students on
Theatre Arts, Dance, and Music held last August. The said workshop aims to develop
students talents in their chosen craft and enhance it, as well as to create a musical show in
preparation for a musical show contest. This sponsored by the Department of Culture and
Arts of the City of San Jose del Monte.
Indeed, all these efforts and handwork of the SPA students and specialists will come
into fruition. And for the year that has passed, they now have a basket full of the fruits of
their labors. Such achievements include first place in the On the Spot Painting Contest and
OPM Song Writing Contest, second place in Short Documentary Film and third place in
Shadow Puppetry.
With its distinctive eminence, plus the support of the school and the community, SPA
will certainly be having a prosperous 2014.
The MAPEH Department of Sapang Palay National High School continues to act with
pace in the implementation and improvement of the various programs. In a nutshell, MAPEH
Department has envisioned developing not just the physical attribute but also the aspects of
the students. As such, programs to realize the said objective were organized this year.
With this, the departments main activity, and perhaps the most awaited school event,
kicked-off with amazing feats as expected. The Intramurals 2013, celebrated last September
11-13 had all the teachers and students amused as they watch the different sporting events
participated by students from different year levels. This annual event aims to promote
camaraderie among students, promote sports as part of our routine, and develop and wellrounded students. The events include Athletics, Badminton, Chess, Sepak Takraw, Table
Tennis, Volleyball, and Cheer Dance Competition, which has been a highly anticipated event.
Champions of the said sports events are then the representatives of the school for the City
Division Athletic Meet.
It is indeed tiring to organize such big event and yet, the MAPEH department
managed it with ease, proper arrangement, and safety.
Meanwhile, one of the developments with the department is the addition of sports
equipment worth 180,000 php. to the school. The equipment includes nets for volleyball,
badminton rackets and nets, sepak takraw balls, javelin, digital chess clock, and table tennis
rackets and nets. This will greatly help teachers, athletes, and students in the different sports
class and events. This, together with several agenda like the plan of activities for Special
Program in Sports specialists were the topics for the department meeting presided by
Principal Eduardo V. Cruz.
Moreover, in celebration of the Cityhood, music specialist and Grade VII MAPEH
teacher Ms. Ma. Sol Haban won first place in the Kundiman singing contest held last
September 5 in celebration of DepEd Day. Also, the MAPEH IV teachers participated in the
Alay-Lakad event last September 9 at San Jose del Monte National Trade School. The
SPNHS SPA Orchestra headed by Mr. Rolito Nieto presented an intermission number. This
was in celebration of the Cityhood.
The MAPEH department also gave its support to the 1 st Teachers and DepEd
Employees
Athletic Meet, by participating in the different sport events. MAPEH Teachers like Mr.
Jeffrey Lapaz, Mr. Redentor Tanael, and Mr. Bambie Cortez joined the Volleyball for males.
This proves that MAPEH teachers can indeed do their daily talks of PE lessons.
SPNHS will now be facing another year and it is unceasingly achieving remarkable
feats and performance in the academics, sports, and the arts by competing and winning in the
different contests and events, sustaining its programs and projects commendably.
