Historical background and perspective

History

It was in 1984 when the students of La Consolacion College, Mendiola, Manila conducted an educational survey in Biñan, Laguna, particularly in Barrio Sto. Tomas where many housing projects were being established. The need for a new school was seen based on the results of the survey. Hence, the Augustinian Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation decided to extend their educational efforts through the establishment of a school in Biñan in 1984. The school initially offered Kinder I and II and Grades I to IV when it started operations in June 1985. The Sto. Niño Building, now known as St. Monica Building, housed 323 pupils in its initial operation. Also during this year, the Administrative, Supervisory and Non-Teaching Personnel were composed of the President of La Consolacion College, Manila, the Principal, 3 Teaching Sisters, 3 Lay Teachers, a Sister in-charge of the canteen, a janitor, a night security guard, a clerk and 2 aides. Due to the increase in population, another edifice was built the following year. It was named Our Lady of Consolation Building which was later changed to St. Augustine Building. Additional basic education levels were offered i.e. Grade V to First Year High School. The school year 1988-1989 facilitated the construction of the Pre-School building and the Sisters’ Cloister as answer to the need of a more growing population which registered 1,067 and 185 enrollees for the Elementary and High School Departments, respectively.
