Dear Confreres,
Greetings of peace and joy in Don Bosco!
With immense joy I extend to you a warm welcome to the upcoming 7th National Educational Conference of Don Bosco Schools to be held in Shillong from 5th – 8th November 2025. I am sure it will be a moment of grace and growth as we are going to gather and reflect together on the theme "Educational Excellence in the Spirit of Don Bosco."
At the heart of our Salesian identity is a deep commitment to forming young people to become “good human beings/believers and upright citizens.” In today’s fast-changing educational landscape, Don Bosco’s vision is more relevant than ever — calling us to be educators who blend academic excellence with the warmth of personal accompaniment, and who lead our institutions not only with competence, but with compassion, integrity, and faith.
This Conference is not merely an event; it is a communion of hearts, minds, and spirits — a moment to reflect, and renew our vocation as Salesian educators. Through meaningful dialogue, shared experiences, and inspiring sessions, we aim to deepen our understanding of Salesian pedagogy and explore innovative ways to inculcate reason, religion, and loving-kindness in our academic leadership.
Your presence will be a true blessing — not only to enrich yourself but to inspire others especially our teachers and students across the country.
We look forward to fruitful dialogue, mutual inspiration, and deeper communion as Salesian leaders. Together, let us recommit ourselves to radiate hope, integrity, and educational excellence, ever faithful to the dream of Don Bosco. May this conference be a true experience of growth, fraternity, and revitalization in the spirit of St. John Bosco, our Father and Friend of Youth.
With warmest regards and prayers for a blessed and enriching time in Shillong,
Fr. John Zosiama SDB
Provincial
Salesian Province of Shillong (INS)
