The studies of Wilson and Lipsey<br>(2018); Jones, Kljakovic, and Taylor (2018); Palaganas and Dela Cruz (2018) found that<br>schools implementing restorative practices experienced reductions in suspension rates,<br>improvements in school climate and increased feelings of safety among students.

The study employed quantitative-qualitative<br>approach, specifically descriptive design. A survey instrument was used to determine the<br>level of sense of belongingness of the Marians. To explore the lived experiences of the<br>respondents on peace, interview was conducted. Focus group discussion (FGD) was used to<br>delve deeply into the students’ lived experiences and surface insights and perspectives that<br>may not have been captured in the survey.
