About 75 principals and animators of different schools together with the state-level office bearers of the BOSCO Kids were present for the programme held at Don Bosco Provincial House, Bangalore.
Fr. George P.S. sdb (Director, BOSCO, Bangalore and the chief guest of the programme) in his address exhorted the animators to nurture an attitude of ‘share and care’ in the children they mould. Fr. Ittira Mondoth sdb (Rector of the Provincial House) made all the participants feel at home through his cordial and warm Christmas message. The Santa Claus gave Christmas gifts to all the teachers.
After the solemn Christmas Lunch, Fr. Gilbert Choondal sdb (HoD, MTh – Department of Faith Education and Youth Mnistry, Visvadeep, Bangalore) gave the teachers two sessions on the topic, “Are you an effective teacher?” The participants appreciated much these input sessions. “It was very refreshing and an eye opener to know that we, the teachers, are dealing with something very precious,” said Mrs Sandya from Mariam Nilaya School, Banasavadi. “I have decided to be more humane towards my students,” said Sr. Cynthia BS, Principal of Gulabi School, Benson town. Sr. Deepa (Principal, Sacred Heart Girls School and member of the BOSCO Kids coordinating Team) thanked the resource person and all the participants.
