SALESIAN
EDUCATION
All
educational activity
within a Salesian School is carried out according to a philosophy usually
referred to as The Preventive System.
The
preventive System
is a stream of positive activity flowing throughout the whole school,
from the Principal to the youngest students which by its very positiveness,
serves to minimise disorders and negativeness.
'Prae-venire'
in Latin
from which comes the word 'preventive', means, 'to come beforehand'. The
System demands an open, ready mind, constantly on the alert, ready and
prepared for any eventuality.
It lays upon the
Principal and his advisers, the responsibility of creating
an educative environment which allows the teachers and students to carry
out their duties without tension or hardship.
How
often
disciplinary problems among students are the direct result of hasty, or
non-prepared classes.
