Huge response to Online Induction Programme

The Online Lasallian Induction Programme commenced on Tuesday October 19th and once again proved to be a huge success with in excess of 100 teachers from across the District taking part.

As with other Lasallian CPDs, the Induction Programme is an invitation to a journey of understanding and discovery of who we are as Lasallian educators, what it means to teach and work in a Lasallian school, and our interconnectedness to our global Lasallian Family.

It is an opportunity to become aware of our history, and our Founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle - Patron Saint of all Educators by exploring the key cultural characteristics of our Ethos and Educational Mission.

The Induction Programme is a chance to understand and become part of this tradition which has been on the global landscape of education for well over 300 years.

Session 1, entitled ‘Welcome to the Lasallian Family’, was presented by Br. Michael Curran and Heather Ruple.

The programme continues on Wednesday November 24th when Emma Biggins and Jo Millea will present ‘Lasallian Story’, while on Thursday January 20th ‘Lasallian Core Principles’ will be delivered by Edel Nolan and Brian Halpin.

Session 4, ‘Lasallian Spirituality’ will see Mariella Vella discuss ‘Lasallian Spirituality on Wednesday February 9th, while the programme will conclude on Tuesday March 22nd when Br. Ben Hanlon and Joseph Gilson deliver ‘Lasallian Community’.
