S. Ma. Anecita Navaja, RVM

Dear Ritarian Students,

School life is an extension of your family life. Daily activities and performances whether religious, scholastic or behavioral are defined, controlled and measured against certain standards of the school to help you develop in becoming a better person and will help prepare a successful career on your part as a well-rounded Christian youth especially in this new normal system of education.

Through the school’s rules of conduct and academic regulations are laid down with the various service offerings that are identified. This orientation provides you with sufficient information which will guide you in attaining the goals and objectives of this school and to help develop in you a well-balanced personality directed toward a more responsible involvement in society. We hope to make you understand what the school expects from you as a student living the Christian faith and how the school in turn shall respond to your needs. Likewise, from your cognizance of these goals, love for the school will spring.

We enjoin you, then to familiarize yourself with the contents of this handbook. Contents of this handbook are patterned from the guidelines set by the RVM-EMC. It would make your school life more pleasant, interesting and self-fulfilling. May St. Rita de Cascia, our Patroness, Venerable Ignacia del Espiritu Santo, our Foundress, and our dear Mother Mary keep you safe and sound; help you in your studies to make you truly worthy and active members of Christ’s Church and dynamic citizens of the Philippines.

Mabuhay! Welcome to St. Rita’s College of Balingasag,

your second home!
