Clean Spaces, Clear Minds: How Pines Academy Keeps Your Study Life Safe and Comfortable
At Pines International Academy, learning goes beyond the classroom. We know that a clean and safe environment plays a huge role in how well you study, sleep, and succeed. That’s why we’re committed to keeping our campus—and your living spaces—fresh, healthy, and worry-free. On July 3, 2025, we took that promise one step further by hosting a special Sanitation and Housekeeping Seminar for our staff, led by expert Dr. Donny C. Calauan, PhD—a trusted voice in pest control and hygiene management. Dr. Calauan teaches at the University of the Cordilleras and the Systems Technology Institute (STI) and runs Hope Pest Control Services. With real-world experience and academic know-how, he trained 18 of our housekeeping staff on how to maintain top-level cleanliness in dormitories, classrooms, and shared spaces. What Our Staff Learned: The safest ways to use cleaning tools and chemicals Daily routines to keep student spaces fresh and germ-free Smart strategies for preventing pests International cleanliness standards that support student health What It Means for You as a Student Whether you're reviewing your notes in your dorm or sharing stories with friends at the cafeteria, you’ll feel the difference.
