Teacher's Seminar : "Time to Start Anew – Rewire Your Mind"

A teachers' seminar on the theme "Time to Start Anew – Rewire Your Mind" was held on 20th June 2026 at Villa Theresa School for the teaching staff of Villa Theresa School and St. Anthony's School.

The seminar was conducted by Sr. Taurina, who beautifully integrated the theme with the life and vision of the Foundress, Blessed Mary of the Passion, as the congregation prepares to celebrate 150 years of its foundation (1877–2027). She encouraged the teachers to renew their commitment to their vocation by embracing a positive mindset and living the values exemplified by the Foundress.

To promote interaction and collaboration, the teachers from both schools were divided into eight mixed groups. A variety of engaging activities were conducted, encouraging participants to reflect on their experiences, share their perspectives, and work together. The responses from each group were later read aloud, making the session enriching and inspiring for everyone.

A key highlight of the seminar was Sr. Taurina's emphasis on the Four M's, which serve as guiding principles for personal and professional growth:

The seminar concluded at 2:30 p.m. with the participants feeling refreshed, motivated, and inspired to begin anew with renewed enthusiasm, deeper purpose, and a strengthened commitment to their mission as educators.
