“Let it pour”. Now that the ongoing project is nearly finished, everyone in the CNHS could say
“let the rain pour.”
The Senior High School Building has no more worries when big rain comes, because of the
Rainscaping Project headed by the Senior High School Empowerment Technology students.
Rainscaping is a rain garden, a low-maintenance option for managing storm water runoff in our
yard. It is the right landscaping in the right places which help make drainage problems go away.
Rainscaping conserve soil, enhance mental well-being, reduce watering needs, reduce air
pollution and provide educational opportunities.
This project is not successful without the support of well-meaning individuals.

LGU Loboc for the SEF allocation budget to counterpart our DepEd /Maintenance and Other
Operating Expenses (MOOE) Fund, Hon. German T. Palapar for the 20 sacks of cement,
Larry Maceren for the canal design and structure for Phase 1 of 3 of the project,
Ariel Jimenez for his genuine advise on the choice of plants suitable for our climate and location,
Dr. Marietta D.Biliran, PhD for the creative sample rainscape designs as points of reference for
the teachers and students, the parents of the Grade 12 students who willingly gave their
consent to send their students to school to work on Saturdays, the School Parent-Teacher
Association for the P14,000.00 budget for the labor cost of the project and the CNHS Teaching
and Non-Teaching Force for the moral support.
Most of all, acknowledgement and special gratitude to the 83 Grade 12 Students enrolled in the
Empowerment Technology and Organization and Management subjects.

The subject teacher decided to let the students identify
recent school problems as an ICT Project for Social
Change. The groups presented the problems in a video
presentation form. Then, the class has to decide which
among of the identified problems should be addressed
based on its importance and urgency.

The subject teacher decided on the project- based learning
activity as an expected outcome/output of the Empowerment
Technology subject in the semester. The content standard of
this ICT Project for Social Change is for the learners to
demonstrate an understanding on how to work with peers and
external public partners for the development of an ICT project
that advocates specific social change or cause.

The learning objectives of this project are:
1. Identify and gather art ideas and materials available in the community;
2. Organize materials reflective of the group’s content, theme and purpose;
3. Develop an appropriate design based on the previous knowledge acquired
in the course and;
4. Identify possible items in the website which may be considered as invasion
of privacy, items that could affect community norms and mores.

The class decided/chose “Rainscaping: A State-of-The-Art-
Work-of-Love for Social Change" as an ICT project for social
change because of the occurrence of flood of some classrooms
in the Senior High School Building during heavy rains and
cause to disrupt classes. The teacher noticed some school
problems but prefer students to discover and find solutions
in order for them to connect their learning with the changing
environment into a livable environment.

TheRainscapeDesign
The measurements of depth and width and incline of the flow of the
water canals are as follows: Depth 8 cm, Width 16 cm, and incline-flow
of the water canals is 0.50cm to ensure smooth water flow was
computed and executed by the students with the help of their Physics
and Math teachers, namely: Mrs. Maria Nancy L. Tecson and
Mrs. Emalinda O. Maquindang. The students used what they learned
from their Physics and Math classes, as suggested by the rainscape
design consultants: Dr. Marietta D. Biliran, PhD, Mr. Larry Maceren,
Mr. Ariel Jimenez and Ms. Melinda A. Abitona.

TheProjecthas3Phases:
Phase 1: Digging of the canals for rainscaping to be done by the
students of the Empowerment Technology subject;
Phase 2: Rainscape Designing by the students divided into three
groups under the Organization and Management Class to identify
personalities and leadership styles of students in a given task assigned
as team;
Phase 3: Designing and working out for the canal exit passing
through the concrete fence, the barangay road and finally to the
ricefield areas to be done again by the students in Empowerment
Technology class.
