Message from the City Mayor
South Mansfield College
17th Founding Anniversary
January 14, 2020
I wish to extend my warmest greetings and congratulations to South Mansfield College as you celebrate your 17th Founding Anniversary.
Let me also state that I am deeply honored to deliver this message to all of you, despite the constraints on physical interaction. Verily, 2020 has not been very easy for us and the education sector during this time of the pandemic.
I would like to welcome you, my dear Royals, to this New Year with gratitude to all the blessings that South Mansfield College received last 2020 despite the pandemic. Having worked with you for the first half of the academic year is a wonderful opportunity to develop a strong partnership towards the achievement of our goals for the students.
South Mansfield College has continually provided dynamic and balanced learning and leadership opportunities to students over the years.
From Little City Councilors to 10 MOST, SMC is proud to have produced students who fared extraordinarily well in both leadership and community service. Developing the heart to lead and serve takes place from class activities to school events where students participate in.
Last September 17, 2020, students enjoyed their right to choose their next leaders who would spearhead activities to make their school life vibrant and meaningful. Prior to the elections, the students listened attentively to the platform and programs that the student leaders presented during the Miting de avance.
The Student Council’s legacy includes the gang chairs in the students’ lounge and the support for victims of calamities.
The Student Council is moderated by Mr. Kit del Mundo.
Academic Year 2020-2021 brings us to a lot of possibilities. Besides welcoming a new normal in our daily life, the pandemic also created the dawning of virtual educational landscape. As the Department of Education (DepEd) pursues measures to ensure that learning continues, South Mansfield College took on a bigger challenge since March 2020 to create and implement seamless virtual learning for our students through the VOLT (virtual online learning and teaching).
SMC parents support online learning during the ECQ When the government’s Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on CoVID-19 recommended a mandatory Enhanced Community Quarantine in Luzon, South Mansfield College teachers and learners transitioned from face-to-face onsite teaching and learning to remote virtual classroom. SMC is aware that this shift is going to be challenging and difficult but everyone rose to the occasion and took advantage of technology.
