substantial change in the society. Thus, ADNU seeks strong collaboration with the parents of
our students in matters concerning disposition and following the regulations and the system of

The students and their total well-being are the focus and center of the formation and
education process being facilitated by ADNU. They are the very reason why laws and systems
are formulated and executed to ensure their growth in all aspects of their life. That is why, it
is necessary that they submit themselves to the systems and proceedings set by the school and
the authorities. And, in case they fail to comply with the measures recognized duly by ADNU,
they will be subjected to sanctions or penalties appropriate to their context for the purpose of
correction and formation of the students.

The volume you are reading holds not only the basic rules crafted by the
Senior High School administration to help build your character. It contains as well
a list of rights and privileges to help you improve your learning, and enjoy your stay
here in Ateneo de Naga University.
Two years in Senior High School may seem a little quick, but I assure you
that two years are enough to help you prepare for whatever lies ahead. The SHS
community is like a family: the faculty and staff will always be there to guide you,
various organizations are offered to provide avenues of kinship and development, and
a number of facilities are readily available to make your learning experience whole
and enjoyable.
Senior High School is the bridge between Junior High School and College
(or for some: the working world). Use this as an opportunity to reflect on your
future. Discern over your direction by seeking what you can do to help in the school’s
mission: to give light to those trapped in the darkness, to reveal the face of Christ
through good deeds, to be women and men for others.
May each and every one of us in the Ateneo de Naga University Senior
High School community read all the contents of this Handbook, that we may be
guided in our day-to-day activities and in dealing with others.
As you commence your journey for the next two years of academic life,
always consider that your administrator, faculty and staff-companions will always be
around to assure you that everything will be achieved through positive outlook on
life.
Consider this Student Handbook as your guide as you pursue MAGIS and
CURA PERSONALIS in FINDING GOD IN ALL THINGS in the university.
The steady growth of Ateneo called for new structures for governance. Thus,
the 1940 Articles of Incorporation were amended and new by-laws were adopted in
1979, transferring the school’s high governing authority to the Board of Trustees, the
majority of whom were Jesuits. In the same year, the College and the High School
(now Junior High School) were the first in Camarines Sur to be accredited by the
Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU).
Through its more than half a century of existence, the Ateneo made
significant breakthroughs and suffered serious setbacks. Economic difficulties during
the Martial Law years led to a dip in the college enrolment. And in the 80s there
were rumors of the school’s closure. But as the school marked its Golden Jubilee in
1990, this time with Fr. Raul Bonoan, S.J. as President, there began a remarkable
turn-around and recovery.
Fr. Bonoan forged strong and fruitful partnership with the alumni, which
raised funds to support the President’s rehabilitation efforts for Ateneo.
In 2007, the Ignatian Formation Center (IFC) was created, and the Ignatian
Formation Program framework established. TheIFC has since become responsible
for promoting Ignatian Spirituality in the ADNU community. Strengthened by
the creation of the Formation Council and the collaboration of the Formation and
Student Support Offices (Office of Student Affairs, College Guidance Center, Campus
Ministry and College Athletics), the center provided appropriate opportunities and
interventions to concretize the mission and formative intents of the University.
The year 2011 ushered in leadership change for the University. With Fr.
Tabora’s election as President of Ateneo de Davao, the ADNU Board of Trustees on
September 22, 2010 elected Fr. Primitivo E. Viray, Jr., S.J. to be the third University
President in Naga. He assumed office on May 11, 2011.
The University under Fr. Viray’s watch, maintained its Centers of Excellence
and Development status. New offices were established, among them the center for
Culture and the Arts, Innovation Center, Management Information System unit and
Computing Systems and Innovation Office. The University Research Council was
reconstituted to improve the University’s research capability. Replacing the Module
1/SMEDI canteen, a four-storey facility, named after Fr. Bonoan, was built to house
the University Cafeteria, new classrooms and offices.
In School Year 2017 – 2018, Dr. Lydia T. Goingo succeeded Fr. Isidro as the
second Vice – President for Basic Education. On October 13, 2018, the Senior High
School Building Unveiling and Groundbreaking Ceremonies were held.
With the appointment of Fr. Primitivo E. Viray, Jr. S.J. as the Provincial
of the Philippine Jesuit Province, the Board of Trustees, in their meeting in August
2017, elected Fr. Roberto Exequiel N. Rivera, S.J. as the 4th University President. He
assumed office on January 5, 2018.

At the center of the Ateneo University Seal is the escutcheon of the family of
St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. The shield is divided vertically
into two. The right panel shows two wolves on both sides of a hanging cauldron.
The design symbolizes the hospitality and generosity of the Loyola family. On the
left panel, symbolizing nobility and heroism are seven red bars on a field of gold,
honoring the seven heroes of the family who distinguished themselves in the battle
of Beotibar in 1321. The shield is part of the seal of many Jesuit schools in the world
with which the Ateneo shares a four hundred tradition of Jesuit liberal education.
Arranged in semi-circle under the Loyola shield are six gold stars representing
the six provinces of Bikol. With its seal, the Ateneo proclaims its commitment to
Christ, to the Jesuit education tradition, and to its mission of forming “men and
women for others.”

The Ateneo de Naga University Senior High School believes in this same
principle. It is committed to ensure that all of its students meet if not exceed its set
standards for promotion to the higher level, and retention in the school. Thus, the
school, after the final grade for the subject has been submitted by the teachers, will
deliberate on whether the student is for retention in the same year level, promotion
to Grade 12, or removal from the school.
The General Average (GA) is the measure of the quality of the students’
general academic performance during a regular academic term. Only grades in
academic courses including PE are included in the computation of the GA. Subjects
such as SRA (as one of the requirements for graduation) and those without a
numerical grade equivalent are excluded in the GA computation.
Implementing Guidelines
3. If his/her performance does not improve until the end of the Second Semester
of Grade 11, the student shall be required to take summer classes for the
subjects (utmost three) where his/her GA is lower than 75.
Monitoring
At the end of each semester, the school shall be responsible for informing the
students of their performance and achievements. The students are equally responsible
to find out their academic standing. Regular academic feedback and planning for the
students’ success in school are a shared responsibility of students themselves, teachers,
parents/guardians and administrators.
To safeguard the validity of the results, all students should practice honesty
and order during tests and examinations. These rules are specific to mid – term and
final examinations, but their underlying principles of honesty and order apply to
regular quizzes and tests in the classroom as well.
Implementing Guidelines
1. Report to your assigned testing room on time, and occupy only the seat
assigned to you. Latecomers are allowed to take the test, provided that they
arrive within 30 minutes after the test has started. No extension shall, however,
be granted to them.
2. Bring to the examination room all the things that you will need and are
allowed to use by your Subject Teacher.
3. Once test papers are distributed, you will not be allowed to leave the room
for whatever purpose.
4. Present your current Examination Permit to your Test Administrator/Proctor
every time s/he inspects it.
5. Switch-off your mobile phone and place it in your bag.
6. Place in front of the room all bags, books, notebooks, gadgets and other
materials not necessary for the test and/or not allowed to be in your person.
7. Stop all forms of communication once the distribution of test papers begins.
8. Start answering the examinations only when your Test Administrator/Proctor
gives the signal to begin.
9. Keep your eyes away from the test papers of any of your classmates.
10. Make no unnecessary gestures and/or sounds that may distract others in the
room.
11. If you have any difficulty in understanding the instructions, raise your hand
to call the attention of your Test Administrator/Proctor. In order to maintain
students’ focus, do not ask help from any of your classmates.
12. Keep your test paper, extra papers, and scratch papers to yourself for the
duration of the test. They should all be submitted to your Test Administrator/
Proctor at the end of the test. Under no circumstances should you intentionally
or neglectfully put out or drop any piece of paper on the floor.
13. If you finish ahead of time, review your answers and remain seated quietly
until the end of the examination period. Pass your papers by column only
when the bell rings and the Test Administrator/Proctor has given the signal.
14. Any student behavior established clearly as cheating during examination
merits an outright grade of zero (0) on the examination and a disciplinary
action.
15. Any student already with an Examination Permit but intentionally fails to
take the test or gets absent during the exam schedule will apply for and take
the delayed exam and pay the delayed exam fee of Php 200 per subject.

Prefect of Student/Administrator.
7. Any student who incurs absences of ten percent (10%) or more than the
required number of class or laboratory periods for a subject per semester or

Parent/s (or official guardian) of the student shall be informed in writing by the
Registrar of his/her academic status.
A student may be exempted from this rule (no.7) by the SHS Director (on a case
to case basis) based on valid and acceptable reasons of the student indicated in
her/her notarized Letter of Appeal signed by his/her parent/guardian, and the
recommendations of his/her class moderator and subject teacher(s).
This exemption shall not excuse the student from keeping up with lessons and
assignments, and taking examinations when indicated. (Section 157.1 of the

disciplinary measure. Subject Teachers and Moderators ought to coordinate with the
OPS and/or to their Chairperson with regard to their student’s attendance problem.
B. ON TARDINESS
1. As a rule, all students are expected to be prompt when reporting to their classes,
assemblies, activities and office appointments. Tardiness usually affects academic
performance and class standing of the students.
Section 157.1 of the Revised Manual of Regulations for Private Schools states:
“Habitual tardiness especially during the first period in the morning and in the
afternoon shall not be allowed. Teachers concerned shall call for the parent or

As a Jesuit academic institution, the Ateneo de Naga University seeks for the
integral formation of men and women who will contribute to the total development
of the family and the human society. It recognizes the paramount importance of
discipline because it molds an individual whose decisions are anchored on moral
principles and conscience, rather than by impulses, preferences, moods, feelings—or
by external coercion and restraint (Manual for Jesuit High School Administrators,
Jesuit Educational Association, New York 1957).
Importantly, the power of the school to discipline students does not oppose
nor replace the authority of the parents among their children. In fact, the school
and home should commune and unite to achieve the common ends of both: the
formation and continual human development of the students.
C. Exclusive and Final Authority. The school reserves the exclusive right to
interpret the rules. The school is empowered to:
• ascertain which behavior for the students is acceptable or not;
• understand and interpret the letter and the spirit of the rule;
• categorize offenses by the students; and
• determine the sanction applicable in each case.
4. Direct or Indirect Involvement. A student is held liable for direct or indirect, active
or passive participation in committing the offense. Therefore, a similar or equivalent
sanction is meted out to one’s involvement. Involvement in the commission of an
offense covers complicity, cooperation, covering up, passive presence, and failure to
report an offense which he/she witnessed.
Charges. The school has the power to instigate and conduct its own investigation of
any offense committed by the student/s within or outside the school’s premises, albeit
charges brought by other parties or complaints.
Other Offenses. The list that follows is not comprehensive and extensive, therefore,
not exclusive. Invoking “special parental authority” stipulated in Article 218 of the
Revised Family Code, “the school reserves the right to penalize in whatever mode
it believes necessary, any behavior by its students, whether within or outside the
school premises.” Also, a student’s behavior, which the school considers unacceptable
or which directly affects the reputation of an Atenean students, even if such is not
explicitly codified in the Student Handbook, will be dealt with accordingly.
Minor/ Less Serious Infractions – offenses which are easily reparable or cause minor
damage to another or to the School or designated by the school as such. This kind of
infraction can be promptly addressed and can be mediated by an immediate superior
(subject teacher and/or class moderator) through the name of the involved student/s

teacher/moderator. Referral to the Guidance Office is made each occurrence of these
infractions. The parent/s or guardian of the student/s is informed each occurrence
through a Letter of Infraction that is signed by the SHS Director. The Disciplinary
Committee may be involved if a case warrants separation from school such as a)
Non-Participation to Graduation Exercises, b) Non-Readmission, c) Dismissal, and
d) Expulsion. The steps in handling this kind of infractions is specified and explained
in “Procedures on the investigation and adjudication of disciplinary cases”.
Grave Infractions – offenses that vehemently attack the Christian moral principles,
University’s mission and vision, and the established Philippine laws. It would also
violate explicitly the policies of the Department of Education and the Code of
Conduct of ADNU-SHS unit, thus creating a magnitude of destruction to the well-
being of the self, others and the whole community. These offenses should be dealt
by the OPS supported the teacher/moderator. Referral to the Guidance Office is
made each occurrence of these infractions. The parent/s or guardian of the student/s
is informed each occurrence through a Letter of Infraction that is signed by the
SHS Director. The Disciplinary Committee may be involved if a case warrants
separation from school such as a) Non-Participation to Graduation Exercises, b)
Non-Readmission, c) Dismissal, and d) Expulsion. The steps in handling this kind

the policies of the Department of Education, the ADNU SHS unit and the Christian
principles and ideals as recognized by the Ateneo de Naga University.
The OPS accounts for the number of incurred offenses per semester and submits
general feedback/s to the parents and/or official guardian of the student/s through
OPS’ Deportment Report. Due to the 2-year length of stay of the students, the record
of grade 11 students who stayed for one semester or one school year will be carried-
over the next school year; should he/she wishes to finish or continue his/her studies
in Ateneo. However, if a student wishes to leave before or after a semester or school
year, he/she needs to fulfill any of his/her liability before he/she be cleared from his/
her record. Ultimately, a student has incurred serious or grave offense, depending
on the nature and gravity of the offense, will not be given any recommendation
from any administrator, teacher or other personnel; and he/she will not be issued any
certification of good moral character.
Procedures. For minor offenses, a subject teacher or a moderator may address any
disciplinary issue/s that is/are categorized as minor/less serious after an investigation,
settlement and dialogue – where every party involved will be given equal chance
to share his/her sentiments and be given chance to defend oneself. Yet, if there is
repeated commission of the same minor/less serious offense or has accumulated three
(3) or more minor/less serious offenses, or the subject teacher/moderator deems it
immediately reports the matter to the OPS.
3. Procedures
a. Any administrator, teacher, personnel, student, or other concerned persons
can report to the Prefect of Students the infraction committed by the student.
b. The Class Moderator is informed and he/she would be involved in the
case proceedings, either as a counsellor, witness and/or the authority to help
monitor or supervise the possible interventions.
c. The Office of the Prefect of Students investigates the veracity of the report
and assesses the applicability of a Disciplinary warning.
d. When applicable, the Prefect notifies the student and his/her parents
concerning the imposition of the Disciplinary warning, requiring them to
confer with the Prefect before the effectivity of the Disciplinary warning. The
letter specifies the nature of the infraction/misbehavior and the inclusive dates
of the Disciplinary warning period.
1. REPRIMAND
A reprimand is a disapproval for minor violations of the Code of Conduct.
It comes in two forms: oral and written. Oral reprimand is given by any subject
teacher or class moderator in coordination with the Prefect of Students, to students
with first offense or any minor offense. Nevertheless, all reprimands, oral or written,
shall be recorded and incidental reports are clear and filed accordingly. The erring
students will be given a chance to write a Promissory Letter or Letter of Justification,
if in case there is a necessity.
The parent/s of the erring student will be informed about the behavior of
his/her children especially, if a minor offense is habitually done. Also, the Disciplinary
Committee will be consulted if a minor offense is committed beyond the allowable
number of offenses committed.
2. INTEGRATION PAPER
Writing an integration paper is a corrective measure for minor offense. It is
imposed on a student by the subject teacher or personnel conducting or assisting in
class or session with a student or a group of students for violation of class rules, e.g.
no book, no homework, speaking out of turn, class disturbance, etc. The infraction
and the penalty, if any, are reported opposite his/her name in the Beadles’ Daily
Deportment Report (BDDR).
3. POST- HOUR
A post is a corrective measure given to a student for accumulating minor
infractions or incurring a major offense. Only the Office of the Prefect of Students has
the authority of imposing post hours. During breaks or after dismissal, the student
reports to the Office of the Prefect of Students and/or to the designated office where
he/she is assigned to serve the post hours. Upon the decision of the OPS in the
Disciplinary Warning Letter, post must be served within five (5) class days
6. COMMUNITY SERVICE
It is defined as a designated number of hours of service/work to the school in
replacement of other sanctions; if the erring student fails to accomplish the in-
campus service during the specified period, his/her sanction will be aggravated.
The Community Program Coordinator will be consulted regarding the nature and
opportunities for community service.
7. SUSPENSION
Suspension is exclusion from classes and other privileges or activities for a
definite period of time with possible reinstatement and, upon compliance stipulated
in the “Notice of Suspension.” It is a corrective measure imposed on a student for
serious violation of any school rule. Each suspension covers a maximum period of
three school days. The student on suspension is required to come to school on regular
schedule but does not attend his/her classes including PE and co-curricular/extra-
curricular activities, nor is s/he entitled to make-up quizzes, seatwork, assignment,
and laboratory exercises/experiments during his/her suspension period. Instead, he/
she reports to the Prefect’s Office and/or to the designated administrators, teachers
and personnel and performs the tasks/modules assigned to him/her. He/She reports
to the Prefect of Students mid-afternoon of the third day of suspension to evaluate
his/her status.
8. NON-READMISSION
This is a corrective measure imposed on an undergraduate student whose
grave infraction meriting dismissal is commuted by the University President. It
is likewise imposed on an undergraduate student who culpably fails to fulfill the
requirements of his/her deferment despite the extension of two days. A student on
non-readmission status is allowed to complete the school year provided that he/she
is not guilty of another infraction meriting dismissal or that he/she, if sanctioned for
another Deferment from classes for any infraction, fulfills the requirements of his/her
Deferment.
9. DISMISSAL
Dismissal is termination of the Atenean’s status as a student of the university.
Once a student is dismissed from the Ateneo for cause, he/she becomes ineligible for
readmission to the Ateneo as stated in the Manual of Regulations for Private Schools,
Sec I 45a, as: “A school may dismiss from its rolls during the school year or term a
student who is found after due investigation to have violated the rules and regulations
of the school and the Department of Education and the laws of the land. The student
who is dismissed should be immediately issued his/her transfer credentials.”
Any student who is dismissed from the Ateneo is immediately and officially
separated from the school and is barred from reenrollment or participating in any
class or school activity. S/He is not given credits for subjects taken during the semester
by which the student has incurred the violation regardless of the grades he/she may
have obtained. He/She is likewise not entitled to any Certification of Good Behavior
or any recommendation from any administrator, teacher, or personnel.
The Senior High School may forward record of the student to the College
Guidance Office and/or the College - Office of Student Affairs for deliberation of
possible acceptance in the higher level.
The school shall have zero tolerance on acts involving deadly weapons,
drugs, bullying (in any form) exploitation and violence. Academic dishonesty also
falls on this category.
10. EXPULSION
Expulsion is an extreme form of administrative sanction which debars
the student from all public and private schools. When a student is expelled, s/he is
hindered, not only from the Ateneo but from the entire Philippine school system.
The Secretary of the Department of Education validates on the penalty.
For any hearing, the presence and participation of at least five (5) members
including the Chair of the committee is sufficient to deliberate on the case/s referred
to them by the OPS. In the interest of the reputation of the concerned, the DC
deliberations are documented and remain undisclosed and confidential, unless
ordered by the University President for publication in whole or in part.
Provisions on Penalties. The penalties for minor and other serious offenses
shall be given by the OPS with the approval of the SHS Director, while the offenses
that warrant separation (Non-Readmission, Non-Participation in Graduation
exercises, Dismissal and Expulsion) shall be decided upon by the University President
after the deliberation and recommendation by the Disciplinary Committee. The
Disciplinary Committee is tasked with the formal evaluation of the recommendation
from the Prefect of Students for Disciplinary Probation, Dismissal or Expulsion of a
student due to serious or grave infraction or misbehavior.
PROCEDURES
1. The Disciplinary Committee (DC) sets the date for the formal hearing
and deliberation.
2. The DC notifies in writing all involved and requests their presence at a
formal hearing.
3. While the responsibility for filing a complaint or for answering
complaints/charges directed against him/her rests solely on student. Both

his/her class adviser or club moderator, to serve as a personal counselor/
adviser during the processing of his or her case.
4. During the process, the counselor may request the DC to be acknowledge.
An administrator, however, cannot be chosen as counselor to avoid
possible conflict of interest.
5. The complainant and the respondent shall submit the names of their
respective counselors to the DC prior to the scheduled hearing. During the
hearing, each party presents its side and supporting evidence (documents
as well as witnesses). The Committee investigates on the parties and their
witnesses, as necessary.
6. The DC deliberates on the case and decides whether the respondent is
guilty or not guilty of the accusation against him/her. The Prefect shall be
imposed, or the DC determines another sanction.
7. The DC submits its judgment, and penalty, in writing, to the Director
for endorsement to the Vice-President for Basic Education (VP-BE)
for approval to the University President. At this level, the VP-BE may
either agree or disagree with the recommendations made. Should the VP-
BE upholds the decision, the document is forwarded to the University
President (UP) for his approval or disapproval; if the recommendation/s
