‘Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today,’ said Malcolm X.
We at Auxilium Caranzalem, desire to prepare our students for a joyful today and a bright tomorrow. Hence on the 28th of August, we had an orientation programme for the students of Std. IX and X. Fr. Ivon Almeida SFX animated them on having a sound mind for a sound body. Through activities, a powerpoint presentation and a meaningful talk, he taught them different techniques to calm their minds and focus on what is important in life.
On the following day Fr. Ivon conducted the orientation for the staff members of Auxilium Caranzalem and Auxilium Carona. The theme for the day was, ‘A Healthy mind for effective teaching’. Fr Ivon spoke about the need of having a healthy mind and positive attitude while entering the classroom which ultimately gets transmitted to the students. He also stressed on how teachers make the classroom environment very stressful by not allowing them even to smile and talk. As per the UN rating, he said, “In terms of happiness quotient in the world, Pakistan is much ahead than India”. Therefore a lot lies in the hands of the teachers to mould the children, who are the future of tomorrow. He taught us different techniques to relax and train our minds to positive thinking and building our self-esteem.
