Fr. Melwin Wilson D'souza, before they were conferred with the badges and set responsibilities. During the interaction, certain points were laid and were discussed such as; the core values and school ethics, the vision and mission of our school. The core values like Discipline, Selfless Services, Willingness and to be a positive team leader. Later, the Principal also mentioned the role of a Head boy and Head girl and the various responsibilities that the respective House captains and other office bearers are enrolled in. Furthermore, in order to connect more with the students, he also mentioned his own life experiences that made the new student cabinet realise, 'how a good listener is a winner always'. While the orientation session rolled out ahead, a sincere discussion on how to handle conflicts and remain unbiased, how to manage time without hampering studies, always ready for positive approaches, celebrating victories as well as failures, discipline management was cropped up. The newly elected council members were also advised to on how to properly plan, execute on time and to acknowledge all and oneself. The Principal Rev. Fr. Melwin Wilson D'Souza, also suggested a SMART way of dealing school pressure. S- be specific M- be measurable A - achievable R - relevant T - time-bound He also emphasised on 'self reward' by letting negative feelings go and embracing the change. He further took inspirational stories of three world leaders who are pioneer in their missions. Dr. A.P.J. Kalam, for being an exemplary in constant hard work, despite failures. Malala Yousafzai, a lady who became a synonym of women empowerment. Mother Teresa, a name that needs no introduction to the world and has an amalgamation of motherhood and leadership. As the program headed towards the wind-up, the significance of badges, sash and oath was reviewed. Badges - a significance of Trust and Leadership. Sash - a proud wrap of responsibilities, honour, a guide to others. Oath - a pledge of services, discipline, integrity, excellence and self improvement.

Description

: In a spirit of renewed vision and leadership, Rev. Fr. Melwin Wilson D’Souza, the newly appointed Principal of St. Joseph’s School, Sadwa, Naini, conducted an enlightening Orientation Programme for Teachers titled “Happy Classrooms, Happy Learners” on 25th June 2025. Though not held at the beginning of the academic session, the orientation was a timely initiative aimed at re-energizing the faculty and fostering a culture of emotional well-being, positive pedagogy, and purposeful teaching. Drawing inspiration from contemporary research in positive psychology and the evolving needs of today’s learners, Fr. Melwin invited the staff to reflect on the deeper meaning of happiness—not just as a fleeting emotion, but as a way of being that can be cultivated in the classroom. The session began with thought-provoking quotes from global thinkers and moved into a nuanced exploration of the “Happiness Continuum,” spanning contentment with the past, joy in the present, and optimism for the future. A significant highlight of the orientation was the “Gratitude Jar – Seeds of Happiness” activity. In this reflective exercise, teachers penned down personal notes of gratitude, shared their thoughts with colleagues, and rediscovered the uplifting power of thankfulness. This collective moment of introspection set the tone for the rest of the session, reminding all that gratitude is not only therapeutic but also foundational to a compassionate classroom environment. Fr. Melwin emphasized the essential dimensions of a happy classroom, which include the teacher’s emotional intelligence, the quality of teacher-student relationships, progressive pedagogical strategies, and effective classroom management. Each element was elaborated with practical strategies—ranging from starting the day with gratitude sharing, to building emotionally safe spaces, and adopting collaborative, inquiry-based learning approaches. One of the most impactful segments of the session was the video analysis of a transformation story within a challenging classroom environment. Teachers were encouraged to reflect on how empathy, understanding, and strategic intervention by the educator brought about a complete shift in student behavior and engagement. The discussion that followed emphasized that every student, regardless of their background or attitude, is capable of change when met with patience and positivity. As the orientation drew to a close, the Principal invited the staff to embrace their role not only as instructors of subjects but as facilitators of joy, growth, and emotional resilience. The closing message was clear and compelling: A happy classroom is not a luxury—it is a necessity in shaping holistic, future-ready individuals. With this invigorating session, Fr. Melwin Wilson D’Souza set a fresh tone for his leadership—one rooted in hope, collaboration, and the shared mission of making every classroom a place where both hearts and minds thrive.
