It’s the ‘new normal’ even for the staff orientation programme! Our staff participated in the orientation programme from home. The day’s events began with a prayer followed by a prayer song. Our Principal Fr Sunil Fernandes SJ, welcomed the guest speaker, Fr Dionysius Vaz SJ, Rector of St Aloysius College Mangalore who went on to speak on ‘Challenges to education, fostering well-being, and developing resilience during Covid times’. Fr Dion stressed on self-evaluation and introspection in these strange times. He urged the teachers to focus on the three core values of Jesuit education: professional innovation, personal integration and social inclusion.
