KRLCC Corporate Managers' Meet...

Yesterday (Monday, 27th Sept 2010) the Corporate Managers of the KRLCC was convened at Quilon bishop's house which the residence of the Education Chairman of the KRLCC and the KCBC. Managers from the following dioceses were present besides Bishop Stanley Roman, Fr. Stephen Kulakkayathil, the Secretary of the KRLCC and the Education Secretary Mr. Edward Edezheth.

1. Fr. Jacob Baiju Ben - Verapoly

2. Fr. Johnson Joseph - Punalur

3. Fr. Jose Raphael - Neyyatinkara

4. Pancretius - Trivandrum

One sister from Quilon was present representing the diocese.

It was an ordinary meeting seemed to be not that formal. After the bishop's introduction, all were asked to share their diocesan activities and other concerns.

I shared my concern about the alienated teachers who would otherwise have been used to empower our community like the Communist in the days past used this particular category for the spreading of their messages throughout the state. This was welcomed by the bishop and others.

Again i spoke of the approval of posts based on the 50:50 in the new divisions sanctioned by the department. When we were loosing many divisions and our teachers are on the street without a post, how can we employ the thrown outs from the government schools? In that case, it could be challenged in a court of law. This also was accepted.

Also, i suggested to bring all the teachers of the KRLCC dioceses under one programmes at some time. This was warmly welcomed and the bishop was enthusiastic and wanted us to organize such gatherings, if not all together, but at least regionwise.

The next meeting would preferably be in November or so and all the dioceses should be brought in and for that the venue could even be shifted to Ernakulam or so for the convenience of all.

Other discussions were held and we dispersed for lunch and left by noon.

Smart Classroom at St. Mary's HSS, Vettucaud

Today a smart classroom was set up at St. Mary's HSS, Vettucaud in the High School section. It is only a beginning. Slowly and steadily of course, we need to provide for the effective learning of our children in the modern times of IT explosion. Already two of the students of the same school have come out with a short film depicting the merits and demerits of mobile phones for the student community.

There seemed to be some trouble among the HSS teachers regarding the Exam (repeat) and the duty assigned to them! What a staff!

Visited St. Joseph's LPS, Kochuveli and spet some time with the children, especially the Kindergarten ones. Also went through the construction work of the new building. Fr. Richard D'Cruz also came there. Left in the rain to our St. Jacob's B. Ed College, Menamkulam for the Id Ul Fitr celebrations. There Dr. Asharaf of Islamic History Dept. of the Kerala University, Kariavattom Campus, was the chief guest and he delivered a good speech. After lunch left for Cheriathura via Kochuveli, Vettucaud and so on.

Ms. Lissy Innocent widowed...

Ms. Lissy Innocent, UPSA at St. Thomas' HSS, Poonthura lost her beloved husband JOHN BOSCO, 46 yesterday night. He was on some family matters when he collapsed on the way. His little son Job was with him at his final moments. The smart little child tried his best to help the suffering father by rushing home to reach the inhaler in time. By the time the child reached Bosco seemed to have collapsed. On reaching him to the hospital, he was declared dead! It must be a sudden and massive attack! May his good soul rest in Peace!

Bosco is survived by his beloved wife, Lissy Innocent, little children Job and Anne. It won't easy for them to cope up with this great loss for quite some time. This is the time they need our support most by way of prayer and presence. I was surprised to see not many of our teachers for the funeral at 4,30 p.m at Vettucaud church! May be that most of us have already visited and consoled Lissy teacher during the day.

Let us make it a point to be present at such moments of great loss and pain. That was what Jesus did when he came to grieved home of Martha and Mary at the loss of their beloved brother Lazarus. Jesus shared their grief by weeping with them. What more can we do than this consoling and comforting presence?

God needs people like us to comfort his children in trouble. Shall we be ready for that great cause? That is Jesus' way and that certainly is God's way too. While praying God to support Lissy teacher and children, let us allow ourselves to be used by God for this great cause. May the good God grant Bosco eternal rest and his family comfort, consolation and strength.

Student Film makers!

Congratulations Rinu and Joseya!
Education is not only learning alphabets and numerals. It is more than that and you too have proved that. Media today intrudes every aspects of our life whether is for good or bad. And you have come out to show those aspects of the media, especially the tiny instrument, mobile phone through your amateur film, “Puthu-thalamurayude Kalithozhan’ (Playmate of the New Generation).
This shows your inquisitiveness as well as creativity. Keep this spirit up and go ahead to achieve many more recognition and still more laurels for the benefit of the society at large.
We, your friends in the school, the teachers and management will be with you in your new and creative endeavours.
Let us make the media a mate and not a monster!
(Joseya Papachan and Rinu Franklin of Std. IX and XI are from St. Mary’s Higher Secondary School, Vettucaud, Thiruvananthapuram.)

The Already Ill famed...

Some 49 students of Std. X from St. Mary's HSS, Vettucaud went for a Picnic to Madurai - Kodaikkanal on 1st September. Three teachers, two non-teaching staff and a special teacher accompanied the students. On their trip two of the teachers seemingly misbehaved in the bus and was resented by the students. This was seemingly brought to the notice of the concerned two teachers, but they didn't take it serious. This was later reported to the HM through one of the parents of the students and it became a talk of the village to the extent that people were seemingly about to demand some action against the guilty teachers for the edification of everyone else concerned.

Again on 3rd September, there was a report in the dailies in Malayalam saying one of a teacher of a city school was victimized by a sex racket for money. The teacher was seemingly trapped by a mother of one of his students in the pretext of needing some urgent help. On arrival, he was surrounded by a gang who demanded lakhs of rupees from him. When he seemingly denied it, they gravely assaulted and battered him. Then took him to his house after extracting his credit cards and the pin code for taking his car. They threatened him to such an extent that he obliged like a child and got it for them. Only after they left him, he contacted the police and reported the matter. Fortunately the police caught the gang and the lady and they were remanded it seems. Now for this also people in the village make noise saying that the teacher is from our school!

Now the PTA for their part in collaboration with the parish are trying to have a meeting tomorrow to demand for some disciplinary action agains the two teachers, conveniently ignoring that none will be there at last to give evidence to implicate them and they most probably will escape after making a bad name for the school whose name is in no way better now!
