In his recent talk, the rector inspired us to “not remain an outsider
but be an insider in the Don Bosco spirit”.
On October 11, Rev. Fr. Tamatur Cardozo, rector of Don Bosco, Panjim, addressed the staff
of Don Bosco High School in an enriching and inspiring session. He spoke about the essence
of the Don Bosco culture, emphasising how it gives every member of the institution a sense
of pride, belongingness, growth, and happiness.
Fr. Tamatur highlighted that this culture is not just a tradition but a living ideology that
unites the Bosco family and calls for consistency and commitment in every educator. He
reminded the staff that to be a true Bosco educator, one must embody the values and spirit
of Don Bosco in thought, word, and action. To embrace the ethos of Don Bosco, tradition,
the style of working, to believe and share the conviction which unifies us.
He further emphasised the four pillars of Don Bosco institutions—God, Family, School, and
Playground, which together form the foundation for nurturing students towards excellence,
character, and holistic development.
The session concluded with a renewed sense of purpose among the teachers, who felt
motivated to carry forward the Don Bosco spirit in their classrooms and community.
