Attention: George Jose Ma. Guilas Senior High School Focal Person Sir: This is to request your good office that we be allowed to offer 2 additional TVL Course Offerings for Grade 11 this School Year 2017-2018 which include: 1. Illustration (320 hrs.) for Grade 11 to be paired with Animation (320 hrs.) for Grade 12 (S.Y. 2018-2019) under ICT 2. Bread and Pastry Production (160 hrs.) for Grade 11 to be paired with Food and Beverages Services (160 hrs.) and Bartending (320 hrs.) for Grade 12 (S.Y. 2018-2019) under Home Economics Our request premised on the following reasons: A. ILLUSTRATION 1. Students are interested in Arts-related courses as shown in our latest survey of SHS TVL Course Offerings for Grade 10 where Illustration ranked 2nd (Bread and Pastry being the 1st) 2. We offer Mechanical Drafting in Grade 8 (Exploratory) and Technical Drafting in Grades 9 and 10 (Specialization) which under suggested career pathways are considered beginning courses to Illustration which has no pre-requisite 3. We have a Drafting Room which is under Sustainability Status in the Division Search for TLE Model School in IA and 50 available computer units (DCP Provided)

B. BREAD AND PASTRY PRODUCTION 1. In our latest survey of courses to be offered in SHS, most of the Grade 10 students who preferred TVL chose Bread and Pastry Production which placed it 1st in rank among TVL courses 2. Even the Suggestion Box of the school contains requests from students that Bread and Pastry Production be offered in Grade 11 for them not to transfer to another school that offers this course 3. Grade 10 students from Talang High School, a neighbor school which is a Non-Senior High School Provider, inquire if we offer this course, this just shows that Bread and Pastry Production has high demand among all TVL courses that we plan to offer in our school. Attached are the results of the latest survey conducted along with the Enrolment Profile of the school. With these and with the aforementioned reasons, we hope that our request merits your favorable consideration and approval.

Very truly yours,

FAYE M. GONZALES Principal II
