CIN: Salesian Schools Hold Joint School-manager Meeting
HONG KONG: 24 February 2012 -- The annual joint school manager meeting of Salesians Schools for China Province was held on February 18, 2012, in Hong Kong. The vice provincial, Fr. Andrew Fung, led the prayer, praying for the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to accompany school managers in their efforts to develop the Salesian education spirit.
Fr. Simon Lam, Provincial of China Province, encouraged the school managers and reminded them that the role of a manager was to share the Salesians mission. Once a manager has accepted this job he has to have the courage, like Don Bosco, to carry out the mission.
Fr. Lam elaborated his address in 5 main points:
1) Do not ask why me? Instead, ask why not me?
2) Companionship, in good times or bad, in success or failure. Lt us stand with our young people
3) In Salesian schools, we need to create a family atmosphere for students
4)We need to have a religious sentiment and teach our students to look to the God 'above'
5) Let us stress teamwork, the collective “we”. It is 'we' who have the same mission, 'we' who carry out the educational mission of the Salesians of Don Bosco in order to save more young people.
Following this encouragement by Fr. Provincial, group discussions explored difficulties encountered by managers in the execution of their duties, with a view to offering solutions.
