Exploring preventive methods to arrest imminent divisionfalls...

The days of visit are 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th May. The response was overwhelming in a sense, though there were almost constant defensive from the teachers' side! If only the teacher community were little more realistic, we could work wonders with our smart children and their ambitious parents. The PTA, the concerned Parishes and their systems are quite happy to overcome any obstacle in the journey to good education.

Desparate attempt to arrest the impending divisionfall threat...

It is so tough to get children to maintain divisions in the aided schools in the context of low birth rate, parents fancy to send children to English medium and that too streams like CBSE and the like and the high competition in the field of education like any other service providers in the market and so on...

In the above context some 13 of our 28 schools face divisionfall threat! After knowing this we desparately visited all such schools inviting the entire staff along with the PTA people, Local Managers concerned, the parish education convenor, the forane animator and so on to explore possible ways and means to prevent that and ensure quality education to attract the students and make them retain our schools.

Heads of the Schools' meeting...

On 30th May all the heads of the schools in our management were invited for day of evaluation and future plan in view of the forthcoming academic year. Almost all of them came. And the ones who could not make it, arranged substitutes through their senior assistants.

After a prolonged motivation talk by the corporate manager, the archbishop came and addressed them. He thanked them for all their good services and expected their continued and committed service for forming a better generation through their great call of teaching.

After lunch, Kumari Alice Alex, a +2 student from St. Joseph's HSS, Anjengo faced her principal along the rest of the heads of the schools and told boldly and frankly what she and her companions expect from them and also appreciated their enlightening service.

It was followed by Fr. Rodrigue Kutty, a local manager of St. Peter's LPS, Shangumugom and Valiathura forane co-ordinator addressed the heads and told what he and priests like him expect of the heads of schools. He spoke of who can become a good teacher and all the more a good head of a school.

Finally came Mr. Sahayam, the PTA president from St. Mary's HSS, Vizhinjam, spoke very clearly of his expectation and also made a friendly evaluation of their leadership qualities and other academic excellences.

This day should certainly be empowering and challenging them to make a good academic year for all concerned for the year to come.

"Vannanmala" Govt. Model High School - A must to visit...

"Vannanmala" Govt. Model High School with "0" pass history in the years behind, recorded cent percent victory with all A+ for all the 12 students with the guts and determination of a single teacher who could motivate all his colleagues and the 12 students from varying life situations such as illicit liquor brewing and selling to situations amounting to child labour and teachers engaging in as many side business as fertilizer sales with godown in the schoool itself, real estate contract to poultery business and so on and achieve 100% resulit venturing all odds against that great venture.

This is the sweet story of one of the beautiful films released just today by name "MANIKYAKALLU"! Happened to see this great film with friends at a time when one of our schools in the individual parish management had the rarest 'honour' of being one of the two schools with less than 50% pass in the SSLC result announced just a week ago. It was a blessing in disguise as i didn't want to go for a film this night!

If Vannamala from '0' percentage could achieve as much as 100% and that too with all A+, our schools also could mark that much result, provided we all work determinantly.

My humble request to all you, my dear teachers, non-teaching staff, parents and all those who have some interest in the education of our children, the promise of our future, is that please do see this rarest of films and be motivated to achieve maximum results.

It is running at "Kairali" theatres, Aristo Junction, Thampanoor. Please don't miss it.
