Dimapur, July 28
A series orientation courses for teachers of St. Mary’s School of Lozaphuhu and Bishop Abraham Memorial School in Phek district and another orientation program for class-9 and class-10 students of Bishop Abraham Memorial School were held on the 26th and 27th of July subsequently. Rev. Fr. Dr. Victor was the resource person for the orientation courses. The theme for the teachers’ orientation course was titled “the enlightened teachers.” The resource person distinguished between the two types of teachers i.e., ‘enlightened’ and the other, ‘non-enlightened teachers.’ Rev. Fr. Dr. Victor said that the ‘enlightened teachers’ take additional pain in finding the needs of the students and create solutions for the students.
On the other hand ‘non enlightened teachers’ teach for the sake of teaching. He exhorted the teachers by quoting a beautiful phrase “Aspire to inspire before you expire”. 40 teachers attended the course. At the end of the first day programme Rev. Fr. James Thsipongkiu Sangtam proposed the vote of thanks.
The orientation course for the students began Rev. Fr. Anthony Rozu stating a slogan: “No one can defeat me unless I allow myself to be defeated.” He told the students that everyone has a desire to fulfill something special in life. To realize this dream, one needs to be sincere and work hard.
“We need to prioritize our personal responsibility and to take control of ourselves. You cannot change the circumstances or the seasons, but you can change yourself.
You can change the world by changing yourself,” Rev. Fr. Anthony Rozu. He challenged the students that they should be able to say ‘no’ to the negative elements that influenced them. Vote of thanks was proposed by Veshepolu Khamo of class 10.
