๐ก๐๐ช๐ฆ | MWAI rolls out Brigada Eskwela 2026 through SSLG-Led initiative, eyes campus upgrades
โWith efficient spaces, better learning gains.โ
As school year 2026-2027 classes are set to open in the coming weeks, the school community, together with the Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) of Muir Woods Academy, Inc. (MWAI) formally mobilized Brigada Eskwela 2026, seeking to help ensure a safe, clean, and conducive learning environment among the entire school communityโJune 3.
Brigada Eskwela, also known as the National Schoolsโ Maintenance Week, contributes to the improvement of school environments nationwide by repairing and maintaining school facilities through collective efforts, unity, and cooperation of the school community, wherein it is conducted annually ahead of the opening of each academic year.
Amid transition to the trimester system and the implementation of changes in the Senior High School curriculum while maintaining the previous curriculum for graduating students, the Brigada Eskwela places emphasis on preparations both physically and academically.
โFor this yearโs Brigada Eskwela, the focus is more on preparing all aspects of the educational environment, especially with the transition to the trimester system and the implementation of changes in the Senior High School curriculum while still retaining the previous curriculum for the graduating batch," said Marc Eldridge Bernabe, SSLG adviser.
Such several facility improvements have already been completed, including maintenance of comfort rooms, canteen sanitation upgrades, roof repairs, and servicing of air-conditioning and ventilation units, alongside preparations for SSLG-led physical projects such as trash bins, greenery, and sound system utilities.
In coordination with the SSLG, the school is also bolstering student resilience through orientation activities and initiatives, particularly the Campus Connect to foster stronger teacherโstudent relationships and smoother transition into the academic year.
The school, likewise, implements the Stoplight Evaluation system, which categorizes programs into Green (continue), Yellow (improve), and Red (discontinue)โserving as a tool for assessing and strengthening school initiatives.
Aside from facility maintenance and campus improvements, current preparations are centered on instructional and academic concerns, including lesson planning, class scheduling, and teacher-enhancement programs.
Educators are currently undergoing In-Service Training (INSET) to enhance teaching competencies and align with curriculum updates, while the SSLG supports planning and student engagement initiatives under the General Plan of Action (GPOA) and S.P.E.C.I.A.L framework, a year-long objective of the organization.
Despite unpredictable weather conditions, such as extreme heat followed by heavy rainfall, which could interrupt cleanup operations and preparation activities, the school community remains steadfast in upholding a secured environment for the students.
Driven by MWAIโs dedication and joint undertaking to school development, the community actively engaged in Brigada Eskwela 2026 with cleaning, rebuilding, and organizing classrooms and facilitiesโfostering a secure, well-maintained, as well as student-friendly learning environment for all, ahead of the upcoming academic year.
