School Year 2002 – 2003 was ushered in by so much anxiety on the part of the Administrators because of the implementation of the 2002 Basic Education Curriculum in the Public Schools.  The Private Schools however were given the option to defer the implementation.  Even as we defer the implementation of the said curriculum, the Commission on Education of the RVM Congregation conducted Seminar-Workshops nationwide beginning from the Sisters and Lay Administrators, Teachers and to the Support personnel on the 2002 Basic Education Curriculum.

Teachers were also sent to attend Seminar-Workshops in connection with the new curriculum conducted by the Public School.

The teachers and staff participated actively in the reformulation and articulation of OLFA’s Vision-Mission in line with the Congregations Vision-Mission. The Regional Superintendent, S. Ma. Rufina B. Guillano, RVM facilitated the seminar-workshop.
