HLI ORIENTATION: Strengthening Our Journey Toward a Healthier School

Today, Badas National High School took another meaningful step in its journey toward becoming a Healthy Learning Institution (HLI) through an orientation on the HLI framework, documentation, and validation process.

Healthy Learning Institutions (HLI) is an approach that promotes a school environment where the health, well-being, safety, and overall development of learners and the school community are supported through coordinated programs, healthy practices, and a whole-school approach.

We sincerely thank our resource speakers from the Schools Division Office of the City of Mati for making time to share their knowledge, expertise, and valuable experiences with the BNHS HLI team.

Sir Peter Jourdan G. Reyes, RN, Division Nurse of the Schools Division Office of the City of Mati, discussed what HLI is, its purpose, and its six pillars, giving the team a clearer understanding of the framework and how it can help strengthen our school’s health and well-being initiatives.

Meanwhile, Sir Karlo Mark D. Malba, RN, School Nurse of Mati School of Arts and Trades (MSAT), shared practical experiences and insights on documentation, organizing and packaging MOVs, and the validation process, providing valuable guidance as we prepare our HLI portfolio.

As the Clinic In-Charge, Lea Mae M. Dacillo, RN, was tasked to present the HLI Documentation Management Structure, assignment of pillars and indicators, documentation workflow, and the organization of the HLI portfolio in Google Drive. These systems aim to help our team work collaboratively and ensure that our documentation is systematic, organized, accessible, and ready for validation.

Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to our HLI Head and School Principal, Dr. Alvielou M. Villanueva, for the continued support and encouragement throughout this undertaking.

To our speakers and the entire BNHS HLI team, thank you for sharing your time, expertise, and commitment. May this orientation serve as a strong foundation as we work together toward a healthier and more supportive learning environment.

Good luck, Badasians, on our HLI journey! 💚
Together, let us build a healthier school, one meaningful action at a time.

🧠💚 YOUR MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS.

Adolescence is a time of many changes—new experiences, challenges, friendships, expectations, and emotions. Sometimes, these can become overwhelming.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1 in 7 adolescents aged 10–19 experiences a mental health condition. WHO also emphasizes that supportive environments at home, in school, and in the community are important in protecting and promoting adolescent mental well-being. (World Health Organization)

📖 To all learners of Badas National High School:

Take a moment to read and learn from this WHO article on Mental Health of Adolescents.

Understanding mental health is an important step toward understanding yourself, caring for your well-being, and becoming more supportive of your friends and classmates.

Remember:

💚 It is okay to talk about what you are feeling.
💚 It is okay to ask for help.
💚 You don’t have to face difficult moments alone.
💚 Reaching out is a sign of courage—not weakness.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a trusted person or seek support from our school support system, including the Guidance Office, Clinic, teachers, and DASIG Teen Center.

Let us create a school where every learner feels seen, heard, valued, and supported.

DASIG BNHS Teen Center | Adolescent Reproductive Health (ARH) Program
Classroom-to-Classroom Menstrual Health Session | August 28, 2026

As part of the DASIG BNHS Teen Center’s Adolescent Reproductive Health (ARH) advocacy, our dedicated Peer Facilitators conducted classroom-to-classroom menstrual health sessions, with topics tailored to the learners’ grade levels.

Grade 7–8: What is menstruation, proper menstrual hygiene, and common facts and myths about menstruation.

Grade 9–12: The menstrual cycle, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), and practical ways to manage period discomfort.

The activity aims to raise awareness, correct myths and misconceptions, promote proper menstrual hygiene and self-care, and create a safe and stigma-free environment where learners can confidently talk about their reproductive health.

The activity was supervised by Miss Lea Mae M. Dacillo, DASIG BNHS Teen Center Coordinator/ARH Focal Person, who visited each classroom to monitor the implementation, provide guidance to the Peer Facilitators, and address learners’ questions and concerns during the sessions.

Through peer-led education and active supervision, the DASIG BNHS Teen Center continues to empower learners with accurate information, encourage healthy practices, and foster a supportive school environment where every learner can understand and care for their health with confidence.

Know your body. Break the stigma. Be informed. Empower one another.

Hey Badasian teens! 💚🗣️ Do you know your communication style — passive, aggressive, or assertive? 💬

Understanding how you communicate helps you express yourself better and build stronger, healthier, and more compassionate connections! 🌟

👉 Read the shared post to discover your style and learn how to communicate more confidently and compassionately! 💫

Social & Communication Style 💫 Tactful — says hard things gently.
Example: “Your idea has potential—maybe we trim the middle section to keep it tight.”

Persuasive — convinces without pressure.
Example: “If we ship a week later, QA can run full tests and we’ll avoid hotfixes.”

Rambling — talks in circles; hard to follow.
Example: “So, um, when I was thinking about the thing—well, before that—let me start over…”

Soft-spoken — calm, low volume.
Example: “I have a suggestion—could we add a summary slide at the end?”

Talkative — loves long conversations.
Example: “That reminds me of three stories—okay, first one…”

Guarded — shares little; careful with details.
Example: “I’d rather not get into that right now, but thanks for understanding.”

Assertive — clear and confident without being rude.
Example: “I can’t take another task today. Let’s re-prioritize after stand-up.”

Passive — avoids stating needs or opinions.
Example: “Whatever you all decide is fine, I guess.”

Dominating — takes over conversations/decisions.
Example: “We’re doing it my way—no more discussion.”
