According to Mother Seraphina, the main duty of the educator is to study the character and capacity of each child and direct him/her to the path of truth and goodness. Quoting Denti, the Nineteenth Century Educationist, Seraphina says, “The educator should be a mother, counsellor, facilitator and one who ignites the spark of creativity in the student. A good teacher should be respectful towards superiors, modest with equals, courteous to the inferiors, kind, impartial and just with all.
Mother Seraphina also stressed the duty of the parents to create a family atmosphere inspired by love and devotion to God and their fellowmen, which will promote an integrated personal and social education to their children. The family is the principal school of social virtues which are necessary to every society and in it the children have their first experience of a well-balanced human society. It is through the family they are gradually initiated into association with their fellowmen in civic life and as the members of the people of God. Thus Mother Seraphina has paved the way “the Seraphinion Way” to God though education.
Value education is one of the important components of the entire school curriculum. Basic values and virtues like honesty, self-control, respect, responsibility, loyalty etc.., are necessary for overall personality development of a child. These values can be interwoven with the areas like Language Development, Cognitive Development, Creative and Expressive Arts, Physical Development, Social and Emotional Development. As suggested in NEP 2020 the core value concerns and revolve around Health and Hygiene. Responsibility for self-development, towards one’s work/duty, social responsibility, Love, Care and Compassion, Critical and Creative Thinking, Appreciation for Beauty and Aesthetics.
True education should form young children as persons of Character, Competence, Conscience, Compassion and Commitment. We the Management assure you Our Lady of Fatima High School Budhenpur will keep these Five Cs at its focus and aim at in forming the young children who pass through the portals of this school. We dream of moulding the boys and girls in to responsible, knowledgeable, individuals armed with strength of moral values that will help them to lead a successful and fulfilling life.
Come dear parents and all those who are interested in these children, let us join hands and march forward for the realisation of this cherished dream.
May God be praised through this great temple of learning!
