“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all” – Aristotle

A warm welcome to each one of you at CJM Fort.

To prepare students not only for a successful school career and more importantly, for their future life, CJM aims to develop Life Skills, Leadership skills, Social and Emotional skills, and Academic skills to build and harness healthy relationships for the journey of life. We believe that each student has gifts to share, and we work hard to help them discover these gifts by tapping their human potential.

We are in the midst of huge challenge in the form of the pandemic “COVID-19”, which has disrupted our work and daily life activities. It is assumed to be an uncertain period for everyone. Teachers have expressed concern about their students’ well-being, struggling to sustain their work ethic and morale.  

Since our Actions are born from our Thoughts, our Thoughts are the product of our Values, and our Values come from our own Belief system.  If we believe life is miserable, we attract misery; if we believe life is beautiful, we attract happiness.  We get what we focus on; so, focus on the good things that we would want to happen to our children. This is a strong conviction which would have a positive impact on our children.

 Let me share the CORONA acronym, which gives us something to think about….

C (Care for each other)

O (Opportunity to know your strength)

R (Rest and relax)

O (organize your thought and life)

N (Navigate your way to achieve target)

A (Accomplish success)

Children have boundless energy that needs space to flow. Let us be mindful of being creative and doing things away from the limelight.  Creativity comes about through questioning:  How can I? Why should it? What would happen if? How can I make this, or how can I change that?  We’ve got to be consistent in keeping them interested.  We can’t stand together physically. But our thoughts can be united. So, let’s fight together digitally hand in hand, against this pandemic. This is a new territory for all of us, let’s work hard “getting through this challenge together.

I am certain that with God by our side, the inspiration of St. Claudine – our Foundress, together with the support of the Management and the entire School Community and Collaborators, our CJM Family will forge ahead towards the fulfillment of our goals, forming our children to be socially conscious “Persons for Others” with a strong…Faith in God, Family and Nation, enabling them to live a Healthy, Happy and Wholesome life.

Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!

Thank You,

Sr. Angela Raposo R.J.M.
