policies, plans, programs, projects and activities that would cater its

stakeholders, primarily the students, teachers and parents. GFPS had a prolific

and productive planning of the different activities, including the development of

information materials such as pamphlet and info board, and capacity building for

all teaching and non-teaching staff about gender awareness and sensitivity. Aside

from that, they also decided to conduct a series of seminar for parents per grade

level to ensure gender-consciousness and for student leaders to promote gender

awareness at a young age. In collaboration with the Barangay Council of

Lingunan, Valenzuela City, another program was endorsed. It was a Livelihood

training program for parents and teachers wherein they would be taught on how

beneficial for the participants because it would serve as another source of income

to ensure that all students and school personnel, both males and females, would

have access to clean and functional comfort rooms.

Activities operated smoothly and efficiently because of the willingness and

eagerness of the GFPS to contribute to gender-consciousness through various
