Overall CSNB has the best plans, strategies and system in placed but must be closely supervised for the goals to be realized. It is also imperative that all our members understand the idea of what makes csnb a governed school. If Abraham Linconln has a famous phrase "government of the people, by the people, for the people." I have given a similar buzzword from the day CSNB was born that “CSNB is a governed school not a managed school”, this is vital in understanding how things are done in CSNB. Digging deeply, you will find out that corporate governance concept is not new in CSNB; it is part of CSNB on the day it was founded. This was read aloud and sealed in the time capsule during the groundbreaking ceremony in August 15, 2003 on the celebration of the assumption of our blessed mother. We are now on the threshold of higher-level understanding and implementation of corporate governance in CSNB, blending Christian and corporate perspective into one, that is uniquely CSNB.

CSNB is a great institution, it can rival local, national and even international school an aspiration that is part of its genetic make up from day it was conceived. In order to make that genetic factor much stronger and dominant, I will continue to make bold steps in making our management team, SPC & PTA more empower and more responsible for what they say and do. Our PTA plays an important role in monitoring CSNB, channeling concerns or issues to the PTA is crucial in our good governance practice and a testimony of a strong home-school agreement and partnership. For this SY 2011-2012, we have accomplished so many things in personnel, finance, and marketing and operation as I have highlighted during our annual meetings of the faculty, PTA, Management team and SPC.

Further, I take great pride on achievements of our first batch alumni, who are graduating in college, they are true Ninans, and are the realization of our dream of having good catholic leader and citizen. This momentous event also coincides with the first batch of our pre-elem that have stayed and shown great loyalty to CSNB for 12 years and are also graduating. This event has triggered the management team to prepare an alumni homecoming program to welcome our graduates in the arms of Sto. Nino and give our young Ninans testimonies of their challenges and opportunities.

For the last few weeks after facilitating the strategic planning and development of the management team in the month of February great news and surprises have been unveiled as CSNB family members' mind and heart comes closer together that reflects our common bond, our common interest and sentiments. This common bond are the key strategic points that must be upheld by the faculty and staff, PTA, SPC, management team and the school board;

1.                        1. The discipline of CSNB’s Employees and students is the key ingredient for a strong curriculum, product and market.

2.                 2. CSNB is a catholic school; its religiosity/leadership formation must be capitalized. As a private school strengthening extra curricular activities is significant for its marketability but must understand that Bustos has rank the lowest in the economic profile we must ensure both curricular and extra curricular activities does not add financial burden to our clientele.

3.                 3. The strength of our curriculum/product development depends on the consistent integration of CSNB’s good governance system and design;

3.1  6 Acts & Merit-demerit system

3.2  Management Manifesto & Core Standards

3.3  Home school agreement

3.4  Accountability Principle

I take these strategic steps to gear up CSNB towards greater service and opportunity. With these words, I congratulate all our students, parents and teachers and pray that the heart, mind and soul of CSNB shine through us.

God bless.
