Student Council Elections for S.Y. 2021-2022
ATTENTION: Grade 6 to Grade 11 Students and Homeroom Advisers
Greetings in the name of our Lord!
The Makati Hope Christian School Student Council is an organization of members who work
together to represent and serve the school’s student body. Being part of the Student Council gives
everyone a chance to utilize their God-given talents and leadership skills in making events, campaigns, and initiatives that can further improve the situation of the organization, the school, and most importantly, the student body.
As another school year comes to an end, the current senior members of the Student Council are in
search of a new, fresh batch of Christian servant-leaders who wish to serve the school and the student body. In light of the current situation in the country, the current members of the Student Council have decided to conduct another Online Student Council Election Event entitled the #LeadUpMHCS. Elections are held as a form of recruitment for students who have potential to uphold the Student Council legacy into bringing in a change to our school’s environment through their own ways.
To join, students must fill in an application, attend an interview, campaign via the Student Council’s social media platforms, and vote together with the student body in order to be a part of the Student Council family. With the revisit and reorganization by the efforts of the senior members of the current Student Council, a total of fifteen of the Student Council positions and three committees will be open for candidacy and application for the coming school year.
The positions open for candidacy, with its respective descriptions, are listed in the table below
On the other hand, the committees open for applications, with its respective descriptions, are
listed in the table below:
With the exception of President, Vice President, and Batch Representative, all students
from Grades 6 to 11 are eligible to apply for the positions mentioned above. Application for Batch
Representative will be open only for those running for the batch that they are a part of. Candidates
for Presidency and Vice Presidency must have had at least 1 year of experience of being a part of
the Student Council.
MECHANICS
A. DATES
This year’s election season will be held from the end of March all through the start of May.
The table below summarizes the important and necessary dates that should be noted.
B. APPLICATION
The students can access the application forms via the Google Forms links copied below.
Kindly take note that each application possesses different requirements depending on what the
student chooses. Kindly double check before submitting to avoid any mistakes in positions.
Kindly attend to the table below for the respective links of the applications.
Kindly note that only the Student Council Members’ Applications will be processed
through an interview, campaign, and voting. For those that wish to join the associates’
committees will only be evaluated via the applications sent. All application forms must be answered
completely and truthfully. Deadline for submissions is April 2, 2021 (Friday).
C. INTERVIEWS
Students who have successfully completed the application form and have passed all initial
requirements will be interviewed through Google Meets using their own Makati Hope email
accounts from the weekdays of April 5 (Monday) to April 13 (Tuesday). An email will be sent prior
to the interview week, latest on April 2, 2021 (Friday), about their appointed schedules. The
interviews can last from 15 to 30 minutes which will be done from 5-6PM. If any inevitable concerns
pop up, kindly email our president Ythan Sean O. Gloria (ythan.gloria@makatihope.edu.ph) to
reschedule your appointment.
The students will first be given an email via the official MHCS Student Council email address
(sc.makatihope.edu.ph) as to their scheduled interviews. The interviews will consist of four main
themed questions. These involve the candidates’ rationale (WHY), personal initiatives (WHAT),
management skills (HOW), and situational and emotional skills (HOW).
D. CAMPAIGN
Afterwards, applicants who have been deemed qualified for the position will have an
online campaign period that will begin on April 19 (Monday) and end on April 30 (Friday). As all
campaign materials will be aggregated and posted in the MHCS Student Council Facebook and
Instagram pages, through a positional sequential order from lowest positions to highest positions,
the candidates will be required to submit a video campaign for evaluation and publication.
The publication materials required for this campaign for each position will include a 1
minute video and a photo summary of their presented platform. In the case of the candidate(s)
for the president role, a two minute video will be the maximum requirement. Both the video and
the photo summary should include the name and position, rationale, and action points.
They must be able to introduce the following:
- Who they are (Name)
- What are they running for (Position)
- Why did they decide to run (Rationale)
- What will they do in their position as they enter office (Action points)
Students will be given time to prepare the needed publication materials for campaigning
starting from April 19 (Monday) until April 23 (Friday), before the start of the campaign launch. All
publication materials must be submitted by this timeframe. The video of each candidate will be
posted on our Student Council social media pages starting from the batch representatives to the
president.
In addition to the campaign, a Miting De Avance will take place during April 26 (Monday)
wherein each one minute challenge video publication material will be displayed and each candidate
will be asked a question from the SC senior panel, and another from the student body.
On April 26 (Tuesday) until April 30 (Thursday), the photo summary of each candidate will
be posted on our Student Council social media pages as a means of closing the campaign.
E. VOTES & RESULTS
The voting period will happen on May 3 (Monday) during the homeroom period. A Google
form link will be sent to Grade 6 to 11 advisors for their students to vote beforehand. The
publication of votes of the winning positions and the qualified associates will happen on May 7
(Friday).
For more information on the specific roles of the Council members, the duties and responsibilities
of all positions will be posted on the Student Council Facebook page, MHCS Student Council. For any
inquiries, kindly contact any of the outgoing Student Council senior officers.
Thank you for your cooperation. Let us continue to pray for the country and for God’s protection
to be upon the school community.

Please take note of the following schedule of activities and important dates to remember for the
4th Quarter which begins March 8 and ends on May 19, 2021.请注意以下活动日历和重要日期,
以备不时之需。第四阶段将于3月8日开始,至2021年5月19日结束。
I. 4th Quarter Activities 第四阶段活动
II. Use of Camera During Synchronous Classes 同步课期间的摄像头使用规则
This fourth quarter we will reinforce our guidelines on the use of web cameras during online classes
which were released on September 14, 2020. This is part of our continuing efforts to improve our
current practices in monitoring and evaluating our quality of instruction and student performance in
the virtual learning environment. Enforcing the students to use their web cameras during synchronous
instruction will help our teachers confirm their classroom attendance and to monitor their activities
while upholding data privacy rights. 第四阶段,我们将加强在2020年9月14日发布的在线课堂上
使用网络摄像头的准则。这是我们不断努力的一部分,目的是改善当前在监督和评估我们的
教学质量和学生表现方面的实践。要求学生在同步教学过程中使用网络摄像头将有助于我们
的老师确认他们的课堂出勤情况并监督他们的活动,同时维护数据隐私权。
Your child may use any virtual background that is not distracting to avoid displaying his or her personal
space to others. We assure you that we will practice equality and fairness in situations if students
experience technical difficulties, limited internet connection, device malfunctions, glitches on the
online platforms and other analogous circumstances. Should your child experience any of these
situations, kindly inform the subject teacher/s concerned to avoid possible sanctions for non-
compliance. 您的孩子可以使用不分散注意力的任何虚拟背景,以避免向他人展示他/她的个人
空间。 我们向您保证,如果学生遇到技术困难,互联网连接受限,设备故障,在线平台出现
故障以及其他类似情况,我们将在这种情况下实践平等和公平。 如果您的孩子遇到这些情况
中的任何一种,请立即告知相关学科的老师,以免因违规而受到处分。
We count on your continued support.我们期待您一如既往的支持。

Please be reminded of the following:提醒您注意以下事项：
- Your child’s class adviser and all his/her child’s subject teachers will send a link to an appointment calendar through your child’s email address. In that email you will be able to select the time slot that is most convenient for you. After selecting the time slot, you will receive an automated reply that has the link to the Google Meet call. The teachers will be available for the Google Meet on your selected time. Please watch the video for an overview of the process.您孩子的班主任和所有学科老师将通过您孩子的电子邮件地址发送到约见日历的链接。在该电子邮件中，您将能够选择最方便的时间段。 选择时间段后，您会收到一封自动回复，其中包含通向谷歌会议Google Meet的链接。 在您选择的时间段，老师将会进入参加谷歌会议Google Meet。 请观看视频以了解该过程的概述。
- If you have 2 or more children, you need to sign them up separately. This means that you have to complete one child first, then go through the same process with your other children. 如果您有两个或更多的孩子，则需要个别单独注册。 这意味着您必须先完成一个孩子的在线会谈，然后再与其他孩子一起完成相同的过程。
- The allotted time for the Online Individual Parent-Teacher Conference will be 15 minutes per child.

- Please make sure that you are able to select your appointment schedule before February 10, 2021. Should you want to cancel the appointment, kindly inform the teacher not later than February 12,2021 so that the slot can be given to another interested parent. 请确保您能够在2021年2月10日之前选择会谈时间表。如果要取消会谈，请在2021年2月12日之前通知老师，以便可以将空档分配给其他感兴趣的家长 。

MHCS Advisory
Dear Parents,
As stated in the most recent school circular, all synchronous classes and ALAs for all levels are suspended today, 12 November 2020, as typhoon signal No. 3 was hoisted over Metro Manila. Instead, the students are expected to work on their asynchronous activities.
However, there are reports of weather-related power and signal outages interrupting our scheduled asynchronous classes. In such cases, students are allowed to defer working on their asynchronous activities until power and signal issues have been resolved. Likewise, deadlines of submission will be extended.
Should there be another class suspension this week, a Saturday make-up class will be scheduled on November 21, 2020 to cover some of the missed synchronous classes.
The details of the make-up class will be emailed soon to the students.
Please be guided accordingly.
Class Suspension Protocol
In inclement weather, please observe the following guidelines on the conduct of online classes:
For Typhoon Signal #1, there will be regular Online Distance Learning (ODL) classes for the elementary and high school levels while the Early Childhood levels will have no synchronous classes. ECD students are expected to work on previously assigned asynchronous activities following its due dates while Alternative Learning Activities (ALAs) are to be accomplished in lieu of synchronous classes.
For Typhoon Signal #2 and #3, there will be no synchronous classes and ALAs for all levels. Instead, asynchronous activities will be implemented for all subjects with no new assignments to be posted.
For Typhoon Signal #4 and #5, there will be no synchronous classes, asynchronous activities and ALAs for all levels.
In the absence of an announcement from the Makati City government, the status of the day’s online classes will be based on the 5 a.m. weather bulletin of PAGASA.
Should there be any school activities scheduled during class suspensions, parents will be informed of the changes thereof.
Should there be more than three (3) days of class suspension within a quarter, a synchronous make-up class will be conducted on the Saturday following the week of the third day or more of class suspension. This will apply to students from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
MHCS Advisory
Based on the latest weather bulletin of PAGASA, Metro Manila is experiencing Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal 2. As such, there will be no synchronous classes for all levels today, November 11, 2020. However, students are expected to work on their Alternative Learning Activities (ALAs). Asynchronous classes will continue. Stay safe!

ECD ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING GUIDELINES
As we continue with our Online Distance Learning, we would like to commend and thank you for your continued support and cooperation by constantly assisting your children in their online classes!
To achieve the best results for your children’s learning, we would like to share the following reminders to promote a conducive, secure, and orderly online learning environment:
- Let your child log in at least 5 minutes before the start of their synchronous “live”
classes. Logging in too early is highly discouraged. - Keep away sources of noise and other distractions in learning e.g., gaming gadgets,
television, pets, toys, siblings - Provide enough space for movement in your child’s learning area during their music and
movement or exercise time. - Assist your child in accessing the Google Classroom for the asynchronous class
activities and assignments - Use your child’s real name and real photo in his/her profile.
- Have your child turn on his/her camera at all times during synchronous classes.
- As much as possible, use only 1 gadget during live classes to prevent echo or feedback.
- Coach your child to mute his/her microphone while the teacher or a classmate is talking
or reciting. Background noise distracts the students. - Students and parents are enjoined to use the chatbox only for urgent concerns related to
the ongoing live class. - Tell your child to unmute his/her microphone to recite or ask questions.
- The microphone should be muted and cameras turned off during screen break, recess,
or lunch break. - Students are enjoined to use their break time to eat and not during class time.
- If the teacher gets disconnected due to technical issues e.g., loss of internet connection,
students may wait for at least 5 minutes. Beyond this time, the students will start working
on the Alternative Learning Activity provided by the teacher. - For computer or technical problems, please share your concern with the IT team through the following link:

Again, thank you so much for your valuable support. We appreciate your partnership for the continual improvement of our online distance learning procedures and outcomes.
May God bless you and keep your families safe always!

Circular No. 41 – Plans for School Year 2020-2021 and Other Important Announcements
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our lives in ways we have never imagined. The highly infectious respiratory disease caused by a novel corona virus has claimed lives and continuously poses a serious threat to our health, safety and well-being. We do not have the immunity to this disease and without a safe and effective vaccine, everyone is at risk of acquiring this highly virulent infection.
It is for this reason that we at Makati Hope Christian School is spending a significant number of hours in prayer, research, consultations, and training to ensure the continuity of quality student learning within the confines of the home. We thank our dear parents for their support in the implementation of the Alternative Learning Activities (ALAs) and Distance Education Modules (DEMs) during the 4th quarter of the current school year. Rest assured that your feedback on their structure and manner of implementation will be utilized to improve the MHCS online learning for the coming school year.
For S.Y. 2020-2021, please know that we are aligning our curriculum standards with the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) of the Department of Education (DepEd), the health and safety measures for COVID-19 by the Department of Health (DOH), and the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.
We understand the uncertainty of the future. But instead of giving in to worry and pessimism, we resolve to face it with courage, determination, and common sense. We hope that you are one with us in this perspective.
Please allow us to share with you an overview of the school plans for S.Y. 2020-2021 as well as important announcements as follows:
A. Academics
- Curriculum and Instruction
To ensure the continuous delivery of quality student learning, the school will utilize various Online Learning Delivery Platforms (OLDP) and Flexible Learning Options (FLO) to implement its curriculum for the first two quarters of SY 2020-2021. The face-to-face learning may be implemented in the third quarter depending on the local COVID Risk Severity and/or when a vaccine against the virus becomes available. Otherwise, online education will be observed for the entire school year.
The FLO will include live classes (synchronous learning) and recorded instructional videos (asynchronous learning) to allow both flexibility and interaction. Google Classrooms will be more structured and academic tasks will be better organized. Research shows that there is a correlation between teacher quality and student achievement. In view of this, we prioritize equipping our teachers with valuable knowledge and skills for a successful online education during the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) period. We have ongoing performance-based faculty training through webinar workshops to enable our teachers to prepare interactive online learning materials through Google Slides and Google Docs; create assessments through Google Forms; check student submissions; and prepare grading sheets through Google Classroom.
The upcoming webinar-workshops will focus on improving recorded lessons by adding audio, making playlists, and making teacher-recorded videos through YouTube. The communication with students and parents will be improved through the use of Google Groups and email management systems. This intermediate training course will also include advanced features of Slides, Forms, and Classroom so that teachers can conduct effective recorded and live classes.
These trainings are designed and facilitated by Mr. Dino Paolo Cortes, M. Ed, High School Academic Head, who is a Google Certified Level 2 Educator. We would like to thank the School Board for its generosity in supporting the Google Educator Certification project.Please anticipate the release of the MHCS Online Learning Primer containing important details about the curriculum, learning platforms, assessments and grading, class schedules, etc.
2. Use of e-books, tablets, and laptops
To allow learning flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are empowering the parents to choose between print and electronic copies of the books for their children. Students may use either copy in studying and accomplishing learning tasks in school or at home.
To ensure the success of online learning, the school is seriously considering requiring the Grade 2 to Grade 12 students to have their own device (tablet for elementary students and laptop for high school students). Gadget specifications and other details will be included in the Primer.
Please know that we are also in the process of forming partnerships with providers to enable our students and their parents to purchase devices at a discounted price.
B. Online Student Support Services
True to our mission of providing holistic Christian education to all our students, we will continue to offer relevant co-curricular and extra-curricular programs through the use of various online platforms that are readily accessible to the MHCS community. Please refer to Appendix A for details.
C. Tutorial Services
We realize that Distance Education presents unique challenges to the learners, parents, and teachers. To address the gaps in learning with the help of a dedicated tutor, MHCS will continue to offer tutorial services for SY 2020-2021. Online tutorial classes starting the 1st quarter will make use of interactive online platforms to better address the individual needs of students. Face-to-face tutorial classes will be conducted whenever physical reporting to school takes place.
D. School Bus Service
To transport the students in a safe and cost-efficient manner when face-to-face instructions resume, the school bus service will be made available to interested parents and students. The health and safety protocols by the Department of Transportation in response to COVID-19 will be strictly followed. This includes but not limited to the following: limited number of passengers per trip; wearing of face mask at all times; checking of body temperature; disinfecting of hands; and regular sanitation and disinfection of school buses.
E. SY 2019-2020 Refund Details & Procedure
In view of the imposition of ECQ for the most part of the 4th quarter, the school will issue a rebate for activities that were cancelled and diagnostic tests that were not conducted. Please refer to the table below for details:
Please note however that there will be no refund/rebate on tuition and miscellaneous fees for SY 2019-2020 as the school continues to release the full salary of its teaching, non-teaching and non-academic personnel, whether regular or probationary, full-time or part-time. We hope for your support and understanding on the matter.
Reduced Tuition and Miscellaneous Fees for SY 2020-2021
We are glad to inform our parents and guardians that the school will not have an increase in tuition and miscellaneous fee but instead offer discounted total fees for the same excellent quality of education in SY 2020-2021. This difficult decision was made by the board with the financial plight of the families amid the crisis and the best interest of the students as foremost considerations. Please refer to the table below for the discounts that your child will be able to avail upon enrolment.
G. Online Enrolment
You may start enrolling your children for SY 2020-2021 on June 10, 2020. The enrollment process will be fully online. There will be no on-site enrolment to avoid face-to-face interaction as a precautionary measure against COVID-19.
To start the enrolment process, please access the Business Office Portal through the following link: https://sites.google.com/makatihope.edu.ph/payment/reservation-fee?authuser=0
H. Other Announcements
- The release of documents such as Form 137 will take place soon after the ECQ has been lifted. Kindly note that encoding and generating of grades using the school’s Learning Management System (LMS) require teachers to physically report to school which is not allowed at this time. A certificate of enrolment may be released by the office of the Registrar upon request when direly needed.
- The year-end rites such as closing exercises are cancelled to safeguard the health of the members of the school community.
- To engage the students during the school break, there will be Online Summer Fun Programs to be conducted for free, with limited slots per program. Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Details will be announced soon.
I. Important Contact Details
We anticipate that you might need to communicate with us for clarifications, inquiries, requests and assistance especially on the “new normal” that is being implemented. Please identify your specific concerns and connect with the right person using the contact details indicated in the table below.
This is going to be a landmark school year for all of us, one that we will face together with faith, fortitude and flexibility. As we commit our plans to the All-Knowing God, we also seek your steadfast support and partnership to ensure that quality education never stops for our students.
May God bless us all!

Letter to Parents
Dear Parents and Guardians of Grades 2 -12 Students,
As per school advisory, classes in all levels this week (February 3 to 7, 2020) have been suspended due to the many concerns surrounding the novel corona virus in the Philippines.
To mitigate effects of this inevitable class disruption, we wish to inform you that we will start implementing distance education through the use of learning modules at least for the core subjects, starting today, Monday, 3 February 2020. The learning modules utilize educational videos to help your child understand the content or skill. Your child will also be provided with some reading materials and practice exercises to help him or her assess his own learning.
These modules will be emailed to your child through his/her google account. We earnestly hope that this will help augment classroom learning.
In addition, we would like to inform you of some changes in the academic calendar for the 3rd quarter.
a. There will be no quarterly assessments for the third quarter.
b. The review week and the examination week will be used for regular classroom instruction.
c. The first make-up class will be on February 15, 2020 (Saturday). The Tuesday schedule will be followed. The other dates for make-up will be announced soon,
Please be guided accordingly
Click here to view the Learning Modules for Elementary.
Classes in all levels will be suspended for one week, February 3-7, 2020, in view of the first confirmed case of 2019 Novel Coronavirus in the Philippines and the ensuing concern among parents about sending their children to school. Classes will resume on February 10, Monday.
We strongly advise students to avoid crowded places, wash their hands frequently and thoroughly, drink plenty of fluids, and take Vitamin C to boost their immune system.
We also discourage overseas travel at this time. Self-quarantine for 14 days is required for students and/or those with a household member who recently arrived from China or Hong Kong.
Nursery and Pre-Kinder students will be provided with enrichment activities, while Kinder and Grade 1 students will be given Alternative Learning Activities (ALA). Distance education modules (DEM) will be emailed to elementary and high school students.
