Faculty Development Programme -
23rd October 2026
St. Anthony Church
School organised a Faculty Development
Programme on 23rd October 2026 in the school
auditorium, with the objective of
strengthening teachers' professional
competencies, enhancing pedagogical
effectiveness and encouraging continuous
growth in the teaching profession. The
session was facilitated by Mr. Thomas John
Rose, Founder of Wise Force Mission,
accompanied by his assistant, Ms. Divya.
The resource person conducted an inspiring
and insightful session on the nobility of
the teaching profession and the importance
of developing a genuine passion for
education. He emphasised that teaching is
not merely a profession but a mission that
demands commitment, patience, dedication and
a deep sense of responsibility. He
highlighted the significant role of teachers
in identifying the individual potential of
every child, nurturing young minds, building
confidence, instilling moral values and
shaping responsible citizens for society.
The session also encouraged teachers to
reflect on their attitudes, relationships
with students and their approach towards
classroom teaching. The importance of
understanding students' individual needs,
creating a positive learning environment,
motivating children and leading by example
were among the key aspects emphasised. The
resource person inspired the teachers to
look beyond academic instruction and become
mentors, guides and role models who
influence the overall personality and
character development of students.
The programme was lively, interactive and
thought-provoking, providing opportunities
for teachers to reflect, share their
perspectives and gain valuable professional
insights. The session infused renewed
enthusiasm and motivation among the faculty
members, encouraging them to carry out their
responsibilities with greater passion,
confidence and dedication. Overall, it was a
meaningful and enriching experience that
reaffirmed the school's commitment to
continuous teacher development and quality
education.
