The Cavinian

Don Carlo Cavina School

Picture
Don Carlo Cavina School was established in 1988 in response to a felt need for Catholic education.

Its humble beginnings started when in 1986, the congregation of the Daughters of St. Francis de Sales arrived in the Philippines from Italy. A formation house was built in the small village of Talon, Las Pinas. It was barely two months of nurturing the spiritual needs in the village through teaching religion in Talon Elementary School, one of the few existing schools in that area that the educative mission was thought of. The brainchild was proposed by the pioneering Italian Sisters in the Philippines, Sr. Corrada Magnani (now Mother General Corrada Magnani) and Sr. Lauretana Bersani with the approval of the Mother General Madre Mariarita Foli. Sr. Helen Baliat, one of the pioneer Filipina sisters of DSFS was conducting religion classes with much spirit and vigor under the shades of old trees mindless of children's exposure to the warm sun and sudden rain. These children's lack of opportunity to use modest facilities and to enjoy a decent education confirm the idea of putting up a a school. The idea would even fulfill one of the congregation's mission: education of the youth.

School Philosophy of Education
We believe that the children are the hope of tomorrow who should be prepared adequately with essential skills, knowledge, attitudes inculcated with values especially faith, simplicity and confidence by dedicated, caring, concerned and loving teachers.

DCCS Vision
