Community Compassion
Men for Others Men with Others
In an increasingly interconnected world, the Xaverian strives to be a man with others. Driven by a faith that does justice, he responds with compassion to people in need in order to build a just society.
PRESIDENT
Despite the great challenges we faced last school year, I look back at SY 2009-2010 as one of the watershed years of Xavier School. I am both humbled and renewed by the strong sense of community that our school has developed through the years, especially evident last year, a period of crises and major undertakings. With everyones cooperation, we survived the turmoil brought by the A(H1N1) virus that threatened to derail our schedule at the start of the school year. Months later, it was the devastation of Ondoy that affected hundreds of thousands in Metro Manila, including over 100 of our own staff. What was a tragedy of epic proportions turned into a meaningful occasion for the community to come together and help our fellow Filipinos. The sight of hundreds of our students, parents, staff, and alumni working together for the weeklong relief effort will remain indelibly imprinted in my memory. What a grace from God for our community to seize the opportunity to demonstrate such solidarity with others in their time of need! Equally impressive is the way the community has incorporated an expanded apostolate in our everyday life, reaching out to a greater number of beneficiaries; including, the San Juan public school students, the scholars of ERDA Tech, the Aeta community in Porac, Pampanga, and the cancer-stricken children of Kythe. Early this year, we reached another milestone in our vision to build a new school in the south. We broke ground for Xavier School Nuvali, and the work for this great undertaking has begun in earnest. In this mission, we can only succeed with the active involvement of the Xavier community. The initial response of our alumni and parents indicate that we will succeed in our mission to open the school by 2012, where 25% of the students will be scholars. Truly, we can say that ours is a strong and loving community. For this, we thank the Good Lord and each and every one of you.
A Brief History
The decision to open a new school was in response to the growing demand for a Xavier education that could no longer be accommodated in the San Juan campus. The discussions began way back in 1996, initiated by former school director, Fr. Eugene Moran, SJ. The long road reached a milestone in December 2004, when the Jesuit Provincial approved the proposal for another Xavier School to reach out to more Chinese-Filipino families, from a wider diversity of backgrounds and new communities. The plan became an opportunity with the offer from Ayala Land to be the first school to locate in its new development in the south. The donation consists of a 15-hectare property in the heart of Nuvali, a 1,600-hectare ecocommunity in the former Canlubang Estate, jointly developed by Ayala and the Yulo family (Aurora Properties, Inc.). The land comes with a sizeable seed fund for the development and construction of the campus. In February 2007, the donation was signed and the site was blessed, setting the plans in motion.
The Xavier School community celebrates the groundbreaking of the Nuvali campus with the release of doves by Xavier alumni and school officials, signifying their hopes and prayers for the future graduates of the new school.
The first major donor to commit is the Henry Sy Foundation. The Sy family will underwrite a significant part of the cost of the primary school building, which will be named after its patriarch, Henry Sy, Sr. Ramon Ang, chair and CEO of San Miguel Corporation, donated the same amount for the construction of the grade school gymnasium.
Building Donors
Aside from the donation of land, Aurora Properties, Inc. is giving P185 million as seed construction fund. To help realize the initial development, Xavier School parents, past and present, have come forward as major benefactors. Richard L. Lee, chair of Hyundai Automotive Resources, Inc., gave an equivalent donation for the Student Center.
Naming Rights The school is offering naming rights to the different rooms and facilities for the first phase. Donation scheme starts at P2 million for the regular classroom. Interested individuals and alumni batches who wish to donate may contact the Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO) at 723-0481 loc 457.
Solidarity
In A Time Of Crisis
In the aftermath of Ondoy at the end of September 2009, Xavier School demonstrated how a community can unite and serve in a time of crisis with unflagging commitment. What started as a steady trickle of donations that began the day after the storm soon became a fullfledged relief drive that stretched the entire week. Spontaneously, students, parents, and alumni began arriving to donate, receive, pack, and distribute goods to affected communities. An immediate target was to aid the surrounding barangays and the greater San Juan area. Once the school started receiving more, the donations were sent to support other relief efforts. The relief goods were also delivered to Mt. Carmel Parish, residents around ERDA Tech in Pandacan, and other affected communities in Tondo, Manila, eventually reaching several hospitals, parishes and evacuation centers all over Metro Manila, and as far as Rizal and Laguna. By the end of the relief drive, Xavier had collected a total of over 34,000 bags of donations, surpassing many times the initial goal of just a thousand. For Fr. Guy Guibelondo, SJ, one of the heads of Xaviers relief effort, a source of inspiration was the active alumni involvement. They came from different batches bagging, donating and offering their services and resources. He marveled at how the community was able to turn a tragic event into a joyful occasion of unity and fulfillment. Indeed, the relief operations success was not so much in the amount of donations raised, but in the tremendous outpouring of care and compassion of the Xavier community.

Nurturing the
Hatid Kapatid
In response to the daily bottleneck around campus during the peak arrival time between 6:45 7:20 AM, the High School conceived of Hatid Kapatid, an experimental service project rendered by the H4 to the school and community.
Without Borders
A Community
Last school year, upon the request of the Jesuit Philippine Provincial, the Very Rev. Fr. Jose Magadia, SJ, and approval of the Board of Trustees, the Xavier Community adopted two new beneficiaries of the schools institutional outreach program. ERDA Technical High School Parent and alumni owners of busineses are recruited as companypartners for the schools In-Plant Training for seniors. In the first year, the community added over 30 traineeships in the required vocational fields. The school donated various equipment, books and supplies, clothes/shoes, basketballs, medicine, and two training vehicles used for automotive mechanics. The XSPA held a fundraising event (cooking class with chef Reggie Aspiras) to gift all ERDA Tech staff with a Christmas package and party. Members of the Xavier faculty are encouraged to volunteer to teach in ERDA. Last school year, former principal, Ms. Jane Natividad, was appointed to head the school. Also working in ERDA Tech are Mark Magsalin and Jose Claro.
KYTHE
The XSPA has been involved with Kythe for ten years. From a regular group of 10, the outreach now counts on a core group of 15 parents who visit the National Childrens Hospital to provide support to young cancer patients. They conduct around 70 visits throughout the year. Last Christmas, they organized a party for some 100 mobile patients, distributing over 300 gift bags from donations of parents and personal friends. The schools DanceX entertained the children, the second time in what is planned as a regular outreach of the student group.
EDSOR
On January 15 and 16, Xavier School hosted the EDSOR Peace Camp that gathered students from four schools, including Immaculate Conception Academy, La Salle Greenhills, and Saint Pedro Poveda College. The event focused on what it means and what it takes for the youth to make a difference in our country. Since its establishment in 2000, EDSOR has been a venue for promoting peace and training future leaders.
Global Community
On 30 January 2010, Xavier School was granted authorization to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program for next school year. With this, Xavier School becomes an official IB World School in the global IB community. The Diploma Program offers a rigorous two-year pre-university curriculum designed especially for highly motivated students. For the first year, the Xavier IBDP program will offer English, Mandarin, Business, Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry. Students have the option to take a subject either as a higher level or standard level course. In addition to the required IB courses, the Xavier IB Program will also include Christian Life Education and Filipino. Crucial to the curriculum are three unique IB core subjects: Theory of Knowledge (TOK): reflection on ways of knowing in the different disciplines and discussions of relevant knowledge issues; Creativity-Action-Service (CAS): extra-curricular experiences that include arts, athletics, and social service; Extended Essay (EE): independent research on a freely chosen topic In the next five years, Xavier School plans to expand the number of courses to include arts and humanities subjects such as Psychology, History, Economics, and Visual Arts and Music. Over seventy applicants underwent screening for the program, from which 45 were selected and enrolled for next years program launch.
Joining The
JBEC Congress
On July 12-14, Xavier School helped organize the Jesuit Basic Education Sesquicentennial Congress, in celebration of the 150th year of Jesuit education in the Philippines. The highlight of the Congress was the recognition of key pillars in Jesuit Basic Education in the country. Among those honored were Xavier Schools own legendary administrators: Ms. Jenny Huang Go, Fr. Alberto V. Ampil, SJ, and Fr. Ismael Zuloaga, SJ.
As part of the process of authorization, the IB Asia-Pacific (IBAP) Regional Office paid Xavier School two important visits last year: First, the Pre-Authorization Visit by the Regional Head of School Services, Mr. Nigel Forbes-Harper, last August 25; second, the Authorization Visit by Mr. Stephen Keegan,Regional Manager for Diploma Programme for the IB Asia Pacific and Mr. Antony Mayrhofer DP Coordinator of St.Paul Grammar School, Sydney Australia from December 1 - 3. In both visits, Xavier School was assessed for its readiness to offer the program.
XSETF
The Gift of a Xavier Education
The scholarship fund was founded on the principle that No boy who is otherwise qualified should be deprived of a Xavier education for financial reasons alone. In light of this principle, and in support of the school's proactive search to add more scholars, and in preparation for the new school in Nuvali (Canlubang), where 25% of the students will be on scholarship, the Fund welcomes donations of any amount. All donations should be made out to the Xavier School Educational and Trust Fund, Inc., a BIR-accredited donee institution recognized by the Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC). All donations are 100% tax-deductible and will be issued an official receipt and Certificate of Donation. Major benefactors are listed on the Benefactors Wall located at the administration lobby.For inquiries, please contact the XSETF Development Office at 723 0481 loc. 428.
CHAIRMAN
With your support, our Xavier Educational & Trust Fund has had an excellent year. Thank you! It is a cause of much joy to see the spirit of Xavier alive in so many of you. And this year, as we celebrate the 400th anniversary of the death of Matteo Ricci, all of us are happy that his apostolate of friendship is burning within you -- friendship of cultures, friendship among leaders, simple people, religious, all countries, but especially friendship with all those in need. May Matteo Ricci, whom we hope will soon be beatified, and Francis Xavier continue to bless you and encourage you in your generosity. Your friend,

SCHOLARSHIP EXPENSE
The Xavier School Educational & Trust Fund hit a new milestone by reaching P189M in 2010. This 4% improvement over last year would not have been possible without the generous support of the schools benefactors. Revenues of the Fund were evenly split between donations (P13.6M) and interest/dividend income (P13M). Expenses, on the other hand, increased to P16.6M (from P15M last year) due to higher tuition fees as well as increased write-offs of non-performing receivables.

SELF-SUFFICIENCEY PERCENTAGE
Despite the 7% increase in income from P12.2M to P13M, Self-sufficiency Percentage declined from 81% to 78%. This is because scholarship expenses went up by 10% to P16.6M from P15M. Nevertheless, no qualified applicant for scholarship has been turned away. On the other hand, the fund remains Prudently managedyields are maximized but only within acceptable credit risk parameters in the challenging economic environment. The near term objective of the XSETF is two-fold: 1. For Xavier Greenhills to move closer towards self-sufficiency. At present, 78% of the expenses are funded from the fund income. Since 100% is the ultimate goal, the XSETF continues to welcome new donations to make this a reality. 2. Begin fundraising for Xavier Nuvali which will have a scholar population of 25%. Out of the P189M, P7M have been specifically donated for the benefit of Nuvali scholars. 1.

Vision for
XS Nuvali
This could translate to a differentiated tuition fee scheme. Whatever it takes, we will do our best to make this a reality. We must.
As Chairman of the Xavier School Educational & Trust Fund (XSETF), Fr. Ismael Zuloaga, SJ is tasked with raising the needed funds to support the scholarship program for the new school in Nuvali. He shares his thoughts on the significance of this mission. What is the idea behind the expanded grant-in-aid program for Xavier School Nuvali?
The 25% target will help make the student population more socially balanced. We dont want our school only for the elite. Our policy of opening our school to all students regardless of financial situation should become a little more reflective of the real situation in society. Having a substantial number of scholars in school will be beneficial to the rest of the student population because they will become more conscious of the greater Philippine society. In Xavier School, we seem to have reached a threshold of 5-7% of the student population on scholarship. As a very small minority, not only do these students become vulnerable to occasional discrimination, but they also do not make up enough numbers to be representative of Philippine society.
Why is it important that we (Xavier students, parents, alumni) support this mission?
If we want to create a society where we can all live together in harmony and solidarity, without cliques and peer pressure, we must start by creating a diverse and open environment in school. I have faith that our community shares this vision and will help us achieve it. Hopefully, this sense of social concern for one another will take root in our students, our families and the rest of our community.
How will the school be able to support this program to make it sustainable?
Thanks to our loyal and generous benefactors, we have not denied any qualified student. Of course, the target for Nuvali is more ambitious. Perhaps one day-- and this is my personal wish-- those who are better off in life will willingly pay more so that we can take care of the less fortunate.
