The springboard for:
New Courses, timetables, collaboration, techology for learning, appraisal system, faith in action opportunties, school communications......

VC in its Next Century

• Further modernizing of operations - bring entire school into VC's C.I.P.
• Review Operational Structure

• Pedagogy of the Soul

Promote a Pedagogy of the Soul

• the real & unconditional love of God
• be socially engaged in the world - to be advocates for those on the fringes
• engage with matters of faith - first with hearts followed closely with minds.
• being vulnerable, where the principles of the Catholic intellectual tradition permeate the conversation.
• measure our successes as a school beyond utilitarian ends.

Thank You....
