Plants
and
Facilities
 Plants and trees
in the campus are
put into proper
places and the
areas are really
maintained by the
maintenance.
 The facilities that
a student needed
are present and as
what our guide
said that if they
need more
facilities they just
give request to the
main campus to
provide what they
needed and what
their students
needed. They also
have a drinking
fountain cold and
ready to serve
students who are
thirsty. The
campus has their
two canteen and
vending
machines.
 Plants and trees are
present. Trees are
sometimes used as
the shed for the
students who want
to study outside the
classroom.
 There facilities are
present but what I
observed is that
some of those
facilities are very
expensive because
most of the
students there need
attention,
especially that
pupil who has
cochlear implant
who really needs
full attention.
 Botanical garden is
present in the campus.
Plants and flowers are
properly arranged and
cultivated properly.
 Facilities are complete
and most are an
expensive one. They
have their own canteen.
For the students to eat.
They have fire
extinguishers incase of
fire. Lockers are present
in the pathway and also
inside the classroom for
the students things like
books to put if they are
not going to use it. in
every classroom they
have six (6) wall fans
for the students, 12
florescent lamps for the
students light source
even if the rooms are
already ventilated and
well lighted because of
the open walls.
 They don’t have
many plants in the
campus because
of the space they
had. It only
occupied a small
ground area that
can produce soil
for the plants.
 I don’t really saw
their facilities
because we did
not tour the area
because of the
presentation they
had for us. But I
believe that they
are really
producing good
facilities because
as what I
observed to those
who spoken to
introduce their
school shows how
their school
provides a good
quality of
education.
 Few plants are present
because of the
structure of the
campus area.
 The school is really
providing good
facilities and each
department have their
own facilities needed
for their subjects like
the nursing
department. They have
their own facilities for
them to have hands –
on activities and
laboratory activities.
Engineering
department is provided
with their own
facilities related to
their course. In
addition, the campus
has their elevator for
the students not to take
stairs if they want to
go on every floor.
Their rooms are all
air-conditioned.
 Lots of trees
are found.
There are
really huge and
it is clean as I
view it on the
building.
 Good Facilities
are present and
they also had
their elevator
for the stairs to
be not too
crowded when
the students are
going home or
going in other
area of the
campus.

2. Learning
environm
ent
 Each classroom is
very conducive
for learning. Well
lighted, well
ventilated and
what is best in
their school is
that they are far
from the noise of
the city that help
students to be
more focused on
their learning.
 The school is
conducive for
learning for the
special children
but they are
crowded because
of the students
population which
is increasing
because they
cannot disapprove
if parents want
their child to study
in DCSS specially
those who needs
attention for they
cannot be put in a
normal classroom
because they are
different but in
many ways.
 Very conducive for
learning. Well lighted
and ventilated and it is
far from the noise of the
city that help the child to
be more focus inside the
classroom. The
environment is not
threatening because the
teachers are also
providing a comfortable
aura.
 I cannot say
about their
classroom
environment
because I
wasn’t able to
see the rooms
but as what I
observed in
their AVR it is
conducive and
comfort is
present because
it is an air-conditioned
room and as
what one of the
speaker told us
that their
classrooms are
all air-conditioned.
 Conducive for
learning because in
every room students
can really focus
without destruction of
the outside students
who are passing by.
Very well ventilated
because every room
are air – conditioned
and in every floor the
pathways are very big
to avoid being
crowded.
 Classrooms are
very conducive
for learning
because the
students can
have their
privacy when
they are in the
lesson. It’s far
from noise.

 In ateneo campus they
are very organized and
well managed. Teachers
are really respected and
being followed by the

observed during their

teacher told them to
exchange paper they
will automatically
respond and do what
was told them to do no
more buts and during
the giving of scores
they just tell their last
name alphabetically
