You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Don Bosco School Manila''' (full school name: Don Bosco School ([[Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco|Salesian Sisters]]), Inc. - Manila, also known as '''DBS'''), is an [[school|educational institution]] owned and operated by the '''Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (FMA)''' in the National Capital Region of the Philippines. Established in 1989, Don Bosco School Manila offers [[Mixed-sex education|co-educational]] education for primary (elementary) and secondary education (high-school and senior high school).

==History==
[[File:Alma Mater Song of Don Bosco School Manila.ogg|center|thumb|288x288px|School Hymn of Don Bosco School Manila (The Alma Mater Song)]]
Founded in 1989, the Salesian educational institution started its humble operations. [[Don Bosco Mandaluyong|Don Bosco Technical College]] (DBTC) in [[Mandaluyong]] is a pioneer of Salesian Schools in Metro Manila. It belongs to the priests or [[Salesians of Don Bosco]] (SDB). DBTC gradually phased out their pre-school and primary levels. DBTC also temporarily transferred some of their primary level faculty to Don Bosco School Manila. The administration and policies applied to this agreement followed the DBTC Manual for students, faculty and staff. The Salesian Sisters Administration of DBS Manila and the Salesian Fathers Administration of DBTC Mandaluyong worked in close supervision and collaboration until April 1993 when the last group of transferees had finished their Grade 4 and enrolled back at DBTC to finish their Intermediate and High school. Faculty members who were temporarily transferred to DBS Manila were offered a choice as to their preferred employer.

However, this agreement did not hinder the administration of DBS to start its own co-educational pre-school and grade school levels and to employ directly its new faculty and staff in 1989. In April 1993, DBS Manila and DBTC Mandaluyong finally ended its temporary phase in and phase out agreement.

In 1994, the first class of Grade 5 students (all females) started the intermediate level. In 1996, the school held its first Commencement Exercises of its 59 graduates in the Elementary Course. In 2000, the program for the Secondary Education was completed.

The school started to accept boys in the Grade 5 level during the school year 2004–2005. These male students were accepted into the secondary level (S.Y. 2006–2007) after a consultation made by the Educating Community Core Group. The results of the consultation showed that majority of prefer to send their in DBS until they finish their secondary school.

This law introduced Senior High School or Grades 11–12 to high school education in both public and private school. The Senior High School department formally opened in June 2016 with its 1st batch of 42 students enrolled under the three academic tracks; Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), Accountancy, Business and Marketing (ABM), Science, Technology and Engineering and Math (STEM).
