DCT: THEN AND NOW
DCT: THEN AND NOW
Dominican College
of Tarlac, a proud
institution of
learning, owes its
existence to the
faith and vision of
the late Fr. Mariano
M. Sablay, Parish
Priest of San
Nicolas de Tolentino
 DCT: THEN AND NOW

San Nicolas Academy was

established on February 14,
1947. Only 35 students
enrolled for the first and
second year classes which
were conducted at the old
convent of the Parish Church.
 DCT: THEN AND NOW

The first commencement

exercises was held in March
1950 with 14 successful
graduates. In 1960, the
Dominican Sisters took over the
administration of the institution
with Sr. Rosalina Mirabueno,
O.P. as Principal.
 DCT: THEN AND NOW
In 1967, SNA was renamed Dominican
School- in honor of St. Dominic,
founder of the Order of Preachers.

Ines Fider, Sr. Irene Lapus, Sr. Ma.
Magdalena Olfato, Sr. Catalina
Saligumba, Sr. Carmen Tiamzon, Sr.

Daughters of St. Dominic took over the
reign of the school his time under a
diocesan congregation with Bishop
Jesus J. Sison at the helm.

connected with it.

Country and Fellowmen,” “Wisdom,” respectively.
These three are presented vis-a-vis with the star of
St. Dominic and the cross/shield of the Dominican

 WEEK 1

Student Life’s First Chapter

Who am I?
STUDENT LIFE
Student life may refer to the
everyday life of a student.
 What is Student Life
about?
The goal is to help students learn to develop
and live a balanced life through the challenging
days of their adolescent and young adult lives.

Focus on 4 aspects of life:

- Mental (IQ)
- Moral (MQ)
- Emotional (EQ)
- Social (SoQ)
- Spiritual (SoQ)
 IMPORTANCE OF
STUDENT LIFE
• It is important for students to learn
skills and acquire good
knowledge during this period.
• Student life in school helps them
start learning about everything. They
learn academic knowledge, manners,
good behaviors, discipline,
punctuality, and more.
 IMPORTANCE OF
STUDENT LIFE
5 lines:
1.A student’s life is a valuable period where
they learn and grow.
2.School life can be tiring but it sets the
foundation for their whole life.
3.It is the happiest time in life, living with no
worries.
4.Students learn discipline and skills to
develop their personality.
5.The duty of a student is to acquire
knowledge and develop their mind.
Student life is the most important
and golden period of development. It is
the time when a child’s character is
built. It is the period where their
characters are built.

School life is full of joy and happiness

for students as they are free from any
worries and tensions of life. It is
important for students to learn skills
and acquire good knowledge during
this period.
• A student life is a wholesome and
overwhelming journey of
becoming what you aspire to be
and grow. Observe everything and
everyone, things will be easier, make
friends, stay away from grudges,
possibly all negative emotions.
Experience them, learn from them
but don't let them be a part of you.
 Benefits of Participating in
Student Life
• Personal interests are tapped:
Cocurricular programs and activities
encourage students to explore
personal interests and passions. As
students pursue these interests, they
learn more about their strengths and
possible career paths. These
discoveries can be lasting and life-
changing.
 Benefits of Participating in
Student Life
• A portfolio of experience develops:
Experience with just about any aspect of
college life may be relevant to a prospective
employer. Is freshman year too soon to be
thinking about résumés? Definitely not! If
you gain leadership experience in a club, for
example, be sure to document what you did
so you can refer back to it (you might want
to keep track of your activities and
experiences in a journal, for instance).
 Benefits of Participating in
Student Life
• Fun leads to good feelings:
Students typically pursue cocurricular
activities because the activities are
enjoyable and personally rewarding. 
• Having fun is also a good way to
balance the stress of meeting
academic deadlines and studying
intensely.
 Benefits of Participating in
Student Life
• Social connections grow: When
students are involved in cocurricular
activities, they usually interact with
others, which means meeting new
people, developing social skills, and
being a part of a community. It’s
always good to have friends who
share your interests and to develop
these relationships over time.
 Benefits of Participating in
Student Life
• Awareness of diversity expands: The
multicultural nature of American society is
increasingly reflected and celebrated on
college campuses today. You will see this not
only in the classroom but also in
the cocurricular activities, clubs,
organizations, and events. Having access to
these resources gives students the
opportunity to explore different cultures and
prepare to live, work, and thrive in a vibrantly
diverse world.
 Benefits of Participating in
Student Life
• Self-esteem grows: When students
pursue their special interests through
cocurricular activities, it can be a real
boost to self-esteem. Academic
achievement can certainly be a
source of affirmation and satisfaction,
but it’s nice to have additional
activities that validate your special
contributions in other ways.
• The key to getting the most out of college is
to take advantage of as many facets of
student life as possible while still
keeping up with your academic
commitments. That’s pretty obvious, right?
What may be less obvious is that focusing
exclusively on your academic work and not
getting involved in any of the rich and diverse
cocurricular activities on campus can come at
a real price and even hamper your success.
