G Suite is now Google Workspace!

 G Suite is now called Google Workspace, after numerous improvements to the service which were contributed by users worldwide. Many organizations used G Suite for their online collaborations and activites, and they gave Google the valuable feedbacks and suggestions for improving the service.

CDSA also underwent significant changes with its Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals account. This includes the change of domain to @cdsa.edu.ph. Also, students' accounts are now personalized. They still have access to unlimited cloud storage via Google Drive, and now they can use their Workspace account to send and receive email via Google Mail (GMail).

Here at CDSA, you can be sure that we are abreast with the current trends in IT!

PRAYER FOR TEACHERS

Giver of all Wisdom and Greatest of all Teachers,

look upon our teachers with love.

Grant them the resolve to nurture our eager minds

and to never give up on us who fall behind.

Bless their hearts for they rejoice when we succeed

and encourage us when we fail.

Endow them with gentle patience

for the path of learning is never easy.

Kindle a spirit of passion in them.

It is the flame that ignites the love of learning in us.

Help them to see the potential in each student.

Their belief in us means much more than the grade we make.

Instill in them a commitment to keep on learning.

It shows us to not fear new knowledge and experiences.

Inspire them to touch the future.

They influence how big a dream we dream for ourselves.

Bless our teachers who have come before

for their work endures to this day.

Let the light of Your example shine upon all teachers.

To build up with their words.

To love with their mind.

To share with their heart. 

AMEN.

PANALANGIN PARA SA MGA GURO

Tagapagkaloob ng Lahat ng Kaalaman at Guro ng mga guro 
Bigyan po Ninyo ng pagkalinga ang aming mga guro 
Biyayaan Ninyo sila ng kahandaang linangin ang aming murang isipan 
At huwag magsawa kapag 'di makahabol ang turuan 

Pagpalain nawa ang kanilang mga pusong 
Nagdiriwang sa tuwing kami'y nagwawagi
At nag-aalo sa tuwing kami'y nadadaig 
Pagkalooban Ninyo sila ng mahinahong pagtitiyaga 
Sapagkat ang landas ng kaalaman ay hindi madali 

Pagningasin Ninyo sa kanila ang maapoy na diwang 
Nagpapaliyab sa kagustuhan naming matuto 
Tulungan Ninyo silang makita ang galing sa bawat mag-aaral 
Wala sa marka ang halaga kundi sa pananalig nila 

Ikintal Ninyo sa kanila ang walang pagkauhaw sa karunugan 
At bagong kaalaman at karanasam ay 'di dapat katakutan 
Turuan po Ninyo silang masiglang abutin ang alapaap 
Kasinsigla at kasintayog ng sarili naming pangarap 

Pagpalain po Ninyo ang mga gurong nauna sa amin 
Ang nagawa nila ay napapakinabangan pa rin 

Tanglawan po ng Inyong mabuting halimbawa ang kaguruan 
Upang makapagtayo sila sa pamamagitan ng kanilang pangungusap 
Upang makapagmahal sila sa pamamagitan ng kanilang isipan 
Upang makapagbahagi sila sa pamamagitan ng kanilang puso 

Siya nawa.

DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE (OPENING OF CLASSES - JUNE 8, 2015)

God is good! All the time! Jesus Christ! My Lord and My God! Holy Spirit! My Advocate and Helper! Dearest Parents, Teachers, non-teaching personnel, pupils and students, Good morning! In behalf of Bishop Mylo Hubert Vergara, DD, our BOT Chair and Fr. Orlindo Ordoña, our PaDSS Superintendent, I warmly welcome each one of you. Thank you for choosing Colegio De Santa Ana as your school. This is your second home and all teachers and non-teaching personnel are your second parents. We are all here for you. For the old students, welcome and let us show our new pupils/students that we care for each other. Let us give them a warm applause.




Let me share with you my Principle and Philosophy of Education. The first is this: "I believe in the uniqueness of every individual person." The key word is uniqueness. This means more than being rare... As Philippine Eagle is rare because there are fewer than 250 in the wild. Uniqueness means there is only one in the entire world... Sa Filipino pa, "walang kaparis kahit pumunta ka pa sa Paris". Just look at the person on your right and on your left, tingnan nyo ang kanyang mukha... ang kanyang buhok... ang kanyang noo.. ang kanyang mata... ang kanyang ilong... ang kanyang bibig... Iisa lang ang taong iyan, wala ng pwedeng pumalit diyan... Sabi nga, "Each person is God's masterpiece that He will never repeat again."

What are the implications of this principle?

1. Because you are unique, therefore you are valuable. You are more valuable than all the wealth in the world. You are valuable than all the technologies in the world. Be proud of your uniqueness!

2. Do not compare yourself with others. Comparison often leads to feeling of superiority or inferiority, both are not good feelings. Rather, discover your uniqueness and be proud that you are different.

3. Discover your talents and work on them. Some talents are inherited from parents; some are cultivated and learned. Be proud of your talents.

4. Make your own life project and never copy from others. You will not be judged by the life project of others. You will be judged according to your life project. Be proud of your own life project.

5. Value the uniqueness of others. They are potential friends, potential teachers, and potential allies. Be proud of the people around you.

6. Practice the elevator principle: bring people up instead of bringing people down (john Maxwell)... Practice the art of affirmation... Express your support and encouragement. A simple can light a person's heart. A simple greeting can inspire a person to greet in return. A simple tap on the shoulder can mean so much to a person in need of encouragement. A simple text message can save a life of a person on the verge of despair. Be proud that you are able to affirm others!

7. Remember always, you are unique and so every person around you. Respect them and love them and you will not be lacking in friends!


God bless!

Rev. Fr. Orlando B. Cantillon
School Director

An Open Letter to the CDSA Community

April 1, 2015


Dear CDSA Community:

Warmest greetings from your new school director!

Let me introduce myself. I am Rev. Fr. Orlando B. Cantillon. You can call me Fr. Orly for short. I was born in Valenzuela City. I am the eldest among six siblings of four brothers and two sisters. I was ordained priest in 1986 and this year is my twenty eight year of serving as a priest.



Let me share with you some of my principles and philosophy of education:

   1. I believe in the uniqueness of every individual person.
   2. I believe in the dignity of each human being.
   3. I believe that every child has a tremendous potential.
   4. I believe that education is to draw out the best in every person.
   5. I believe that the role of a teacher is to facilitate learning.
   6. I believe that all personnel of the school are teacher of values.
   7. I believe that CDSA is an acre of God's Grace.
   8. I believe that we: parents, teachers, non-teaching personnel, pupils and students form a community of learning and teaching.
   9. I believe that God has a beautiful plan for our school.
  10. I believe that all of us are loved by God unconditionally.

Let us pray for each other. Let us pray for the realization of our dreams. Let us pray always for nothing is impossible with God.


God bless you,

Fr. Orlando B. Cantillon

Happy Birthday Ma'am Montevirgen!

Warmest greetings to our dear Principal, Mrs. Lennie Ansay Montevirgen! May God continue to shower His abundant blessings to you and may you have more birthdays to come!

†Msgr. Lucio B. Odiver (March 2, 1935 - April 2, 2012) *

Msgr. Lucio B. Odiver was CDSA's School Director from 1993-2002. He has brought many changes and improvements to CDSA (then Sta. Ana Parochial School). He passed away today, April 2, at the age of 77. *

Eternal rest grant unto Msgr. Odiver, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.




Highlights during Msgr. Odiver's term: **

Rev. Fr. Lucio B. Odiver was appointed the Sta. Ana Parochial School director on January 3, 1993. After over a month, he immediately ordered the construction of the three-storey classroom for the Kinder level which was blessed on June 6, 1993 by Rev. Fr. Odiver himself.

His Eminence Jaime Cardinal Sin graced the institution once again with the blessing of the newly constructed offices and facilities which included the Principal’s Office, the Faculty room, the Medical/Dental clinic, the two (2) comfort rooms both for the faculty and the students, and the boys’ quarters on July 14, 1997 in loving dedication to its late founder, †Msgr. Augurio I. Juta.

School year 1999-2000; the name Sta. Ana Parochial School was changed to Colegio de Sta. Ana. This year also commenced the creation of the new building adjacent to the St. Anne building, and the realization of the Audiovisual Room in the 4th floor. Mile by mile, the inspiration and spirit of the director, Msgr. Odiver and the Principal, Mrs. Delute traveled with the initial vision. The full creation of the 4th floor for the incoming 4th year students marked some of the achievements of Msgr. Lucio B. Odiver before he resigned in 2002.



* Errata: The birth date and age was previously posted as "March 2, 1934" and "78" which are now corrected. Sorry for the confusion.
