PAGSCI VOLUNTEERS’ PROGRAM (PVP)

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Pagsci Volunteers’ Program or PVP is a special program in Pagadian City Science High School intended for students who are unified by common ideal and goal to create positive change in the community through proactive civic engagement and voluntary service. It is spearheaded by the PCSHS-Supreme Student Government in partnership with the Office of the School Principal and the General Parents Teachers Association (GPTA).

RATIONALE

Accordingly, the K to 12 Curriculum envisions the development of scientifically, technologically, and environmentally literate and productive members of society who are critical problem solvers, responsible stewards of nature, innovative and creative citizens, informed decision makers, and effective communicators.

Relative to this, the Pagadian City Science High School has been striving to provide diverse and relevant learning opportunities among its learners through updated learning materials, effective and efficient use of educational technologies, and well-rounded teaching human resources. The institution believes that providing real-life learning experience among learners is very significant also in order to maximize the learners’ potentials to acquire the 21^st century skills. Consequently, the Pagsci Volunteers’ Program (PVP) was conceived.

The program was inspired by the great voluntary works of the Feed em soup program in DeKalb, the Feed My Starving Children in Aurora, and the Northern Lights Ambassadors of Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois, USA.
