As we commence week 6 we start to explore the characteristic of Love of Work.
What does that mean here at the College and in all Marist places?
We are people of work, ready to ‘roll up our sleeves" especially when there is a need to get things done.
We work with total confidence in God
We are generous of heart, constant and persevering in our daily work
We prepare classes, being visionary and decisive in meeting the needs of our students
We encourage our students to discover the dignity of work, a source of self-fulfillment
We view work as a way to bring purpose and meaning to life
We seek to develop strong character and resilience, balanced moral conscience, and solid values
We foster motivation and teamwork
This week we all are "rolling up our sleeves" so as to prepare for following week's celebration of Champagnat Day.
So that our work helps our fellow Marists in Bougainville.
This week the Marist Characteristic is LOVE of WORK.
We are inspired from this image of St Marcellin, working with others to help build the Hermitage. The Homebase for Marists around the world.
As a College we get our chance to “roll up our sleeves” like Champagnat did - he had a Love of Work, as we focus on the helping others at Champagnat Day.
