Teacher’s Orientation Programme

The Teacher’s Orientation Programme for the academic year 2025–26 was held on the 2 nd and 3 rd of June at Sophia High School. This two-day event was thoughtfully curated to inspire, equip, and align the teaching faculty for the new academic session.

The first day began with an insightful session by LION Dr. S. Anthony Joseph, who delivered a thought-provoking talk on “Fixed Mindset Vs Growth Mindset: The Two Technologies.” Dr. Joseph emphasized the importance of cultivating a growth mindset among educators to encourage adaptability, resilience, and continuous learning in the classroom. His engaging presentation set a reflective and motivational tone for the day. Following the session, departmental meetings were held wherein teachers collaborated within their subject groups to review past performance, strategize lesson planning, and set academic goals for the upcoming year. These meetings provided an opportunity for focused discussion, planning, and the exchange of ideas.

The second day focused on practical training and spiritual preparation. Teachers were introduced to a new software system in a session conducted by VAPS, organized as per the school building divisions. The hands-on training aimed to ensure smooth integration of the system into daily academic and administrative operations.

This was followed by a serene and meaningful ceremony to bless the school campus, conducted by the Fathers. The spiritual invocation sought divine guidance and protection for the entire school community as it steps into a new academic year.

The day concluded with a meeting with the Principal, Sr. Alpana SND, during which she addressed the staff, sharing her vision and expectations for the year. The meeting also served as a platform to discuss key plans, calendar events, and collective responsibilities.

The orientation program successfully combined professional development, collaborative planning, and spiritual grounding, preparing the faculty to embark on the new academic year with renewed focus and enthusiasm.
