The CEAP National Office was represented by Executive Director Mr. Narcy F. Ador Dionisio, with members of the Membership Services and Communications Unit and Planning and Development Unit.
The dialogue served as an initial engagement to identify possible areas of partnership and institutional support under the IMPACT Program. Discussions focused on key partnership domains, including Institutional Sustainability, Leadership and Governance, Instructional Quality, Christian Formation, Infrastructure and Technology, and Advocacy and Community Engagement.
During the session, Holy Infant Parochial School shared its institutional context and developmental priorities, particularly in faculty development, instructional quality, technology integration, infrastructure enhancement, and institutional certification preparations.
In response, La Salle Academy Iligan expressed its readiness to accompany the school through mentoring, capacity-building initiatives, and resource sharing. Initial plans include online formation and training sessions to support the school’s immediate needs.
The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to sustained collaboration through mentoring and communication. More than an introductory engagement, it affirmed the value of accompaniment and collective action in strengthening Catholic mission schools and advancing educational transformation.
