To lead is to serve. This is what we learn in Rosehill. This may seem paradoxical, but it actually makes perfect sense. Leadership is entirely about service. We, in Rosehill, from management, to faculty and staff, and students, lead by example.

PAREF Rosehill is one big family. Just like in any other family, we help each other. We help classmates with their homework; share food; obey school rules; segregate trash; take care of school property. We willingly serve Rosehill and our classmates and teachers.

A leader always tries her best to set a good example. She keeps her grades up, listens attentively to her teachers and passes projects on time. She is not only a diligent student and a good daughter, but also a true friend who tells the truth and does what is right at any cost. 

We learn from our teachers, mentors, classmates from the first day of school to the end of each academic year. And we will bring this great lesson of leadership and service as we journey to see our dreams fulfilled, in the university, at the workplace, in society, always trying to live by our Alma Mater’s vision. As we sing it in our hymn, “To lead and to serve is our life-long mission.”

Testimony of a Happy Rosehill Family

“Mom I want to be a saint!” This expression of aspiration of our 7 year-old daughter summarizes the impact of Rosehill culture to our daughters and to the whole family, as well. An aspiration that would have caught us off guard had we not participated in the many school activities that have formed us, and the four of us (with our two daughters Alex and Andee) as a family.

 

Six years in the PAREF system, we have not stopped marveling at the way our daughters are being formed into sensitive, virtuous and prayerful kids. Meal time stories, Alex’s school compositions, bedtime stories, comments made on shows on television… these are some of the venues where utterances made by our girls show us that we are not alone in our efforts to mold them into fine ladies of God.

 

Sure they still have areas of weaknesses..(oh a lot of them).. but we see that they understand gentle reminders or stern reprimands.. even a firm hand if really called for. Crying often follows, but not out of rebellion but more out of sadness that they have made us, made Jesus, and their guardian angels sad. It’s not weird trying to make them understand these because they see the unity of the values being cultivated at home and those being taught in school. And we all understand that perfecting these values is a never-ending process. Something that we all have to continuously work for.

 

So, we tell our Andee, it’s hard to be a saint..but we can surely work for it, together, as a family. And we thank Rosehill…because sending them there gets half of the job done.
