Education is a matter of character formation not grades and marks accumulation. Parent’s responsibility does not come to a full stop after securing an admission for their child in a renowned school rather they become collaborators and partners of this great mission of character formation.
On 28th November Auxilium Benaulim organised an input session for the parents. Fr. Allengaden Varghese was the guest speaker of the day. Fr. Varghese enlightened the parents on how to be partners working hand in hand with the school in educating their children encouraging them to do well not just in academics but adding values to their academics. 
Securing the highest rank or degree does not mean that one is educated. Educate your child in values that of honesty, patience and humility to accept the good and not so good events of life. Parents were given tips on parenting like
- Give quality time to the Child
- Trust your child with freedom but be alert
- Have cordial atmosphere at home
- Respect each other in the family
Two of the 11 students, Miss Leanne Fernandes and Miss Sheena Kumar who had attended the Leadership seminar in Indore shared their experiences with the parents in the General assembly. At the end of the session Fr. Varghese invited the parents to express their views or questions if they had any queries.
In today’s context where even education has a commercial value, the management and staff of Auxilium Benaulim encourage the students to inculcate values that will make them responsible citizens of the country.
