With AI impacting the education space, the programme invited teachers to ensure that learning still remains deeply personal, human and transformative.
As part of the preparations for the new academic year, the teaching staff of Don Bosco High School participated in an orientation programme led by the Headmaster Fr. Avin Carvalho.
Introducing the theme for the year, “Educated to Serve – Becoming the Gift You Were Meant to Be,” Fr. Avin encouraged teachers to be a gift to their students by nurturing not only their minds but also their hearts. He emphasised that while artificial intelligence and digital platforms continue to transform education, the most powerful learning experiences remain deeply human.
The session highlighted the need to move from mere information-sharing to meaningful learning, from memorisation to interpretation, and from compliance to engagement. Teachers were encouraged to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and active participation in their classrooms.
Fr. Avin also stressed the importance of building strong relationships with students and helping them become discerning consumers of media by evaluating sources, identifying biases, and seeking diverse perspectives.
The programme concluded with a renewed commitment to creating learning environments where students can grow, flourish, and discover their unique gifts in the service of others.
