Immaculate Conception Academy believes that the human person as an image of God is endowed with potentials and powers. She expresses her gratitude for all these gifts by developing each of them to the fullest. An environment that best manifests the beauty and order of God’s creation can help her realize the full development of these potentials.
ICA, as an institution, responds to the worldwide call to save the earth and protect its resources from irreversible exhaustion and extinction through the school-wide Solid Waste Management Program.
The program aims to develop a community of caring and dedicated stewards of God’s creation. It intensifies its campaign with concrete actions towards a clean, orderly and safe campus.
A SWMP committee was formed guided by the mandatory requirements of RA 9003 Providing for an ecological SWMP, creating the necessary institutional mechanisms and incentives also known as the Philippine Ecological Waste Management Act of 2000 and to support other laws such as RA 9512 an act to promote environmental awareness through environmental education and for other purposes, and the RA 9729 an Act mainstreaming climate change into government policy formulations establishing the framework strategy and program on climate change.
The committee is headed by a Grade Level Coordinator as chairperson and is composed of all the GLC of both departments, GS and HS Science Supervisors, Campus Management and Development Officer, and Staff Club President.
II. GENERAL OBJECTIVES
The ICA Solid Waste Management Program aims to instill in the students, faculty and support staff the love for Mother Earth and appreciation for God’s creations. The program aims to:
- strengthen the values of responsible stewardship, service, commitment, simplicity, gratitude, cleanliness and orderliness;
- provide models from where good segregation practices can be developed;
- provide pertinent information on the conditions of the world resulting from abuse of resources and the natural environment;
- develop habits and practices in school where conservation of resources and segregation of wastes can be intensified;
- ensure that the activities are aligned with the local government and laws on environment conservation and protection;
- determine the strengths and weaknesses of SWMP and the practices of students, teachers and staff;
- provide measures to ensure the continuing growth of students and elicit their committed participation in the school’s mission.
III. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
With the full implementation of ICA’s Solid Waste Management Program, the students, faculties and support staff are expected to:
- sustain earth friendly habits and practices while in school, off-campus activities and at home;
- implement activities and programs to the optimum;
- manifest the four principles of SWMP;
- coordinate with the local government and the school’s consignors to ensure that SWMP practices are observed;
- show positive attitude toward feedback as evidenced by their willingness to implement suggestions/ recommendations to improve
their habits and practices;
