HSS MOTIVATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMME

On January 6^th 2012 the staff of Pope John XXIII Higher Secondary and the students of Std. XI participated in motivational training workshops conducted by Dr. Allan Abreu and Ms. Karuna Satardekar of GVM’s College of Education, Ponda.

Dr. Allan Abreu, who currently holds the post of officiating Principal of GVM’s College, conducted lively sessions on The Seven Habits for Highly Effective Teachers.  His vitality and vigour were highly contagious. Accomplished musician that he is, action songs played a vital role in his presentations.

Through power point presentations, group activities and examples from the lives of great personages, Ms. Karuna Satardekar made the students of Std. XI realize the importance of time management and taught them practical ways of motivating themselves to achieve greater heights.

The Vote of Thanks was proposed by our Teacher Coordinator, Ms. Sharmila Da Costa, and one of our students, Ms. Elodie Goes.
