OUR FUTURE
VISION + STRATEGY
STRATEGY STATEMENT
BY 2013, TO BUILD THE SUSTAINABILITY
AND AUTHENTICITY OF THE LASALLIAN
MISSION IN ANZPNG THROUGH THE
DELIVERY OF A COMPREHENSIVE,
SEQUENTIAL, SIX LEVEL SERIES OF
ONLINE AND FACE TO FACE PROGAMS
AND RESOURCES.
AIMS OF LES FORMATION
1. Formation for the Lasallian mission:
definition and purpose of formation.
Lasallian formation is the professional, personal and
spiritual training and development in alignment
with Lasallian values and practices. It is a process
which helps people to internalise the elements of
what it is to be “Lasallian”. It involves accompanying
people in this process of discovery.
The aim of all our Lasallian formation is to inspire a
passion for, and strengthen commitment to, the
mission of providing a human and Christian
education for young people, especially those most in
need.
AIMS OF LES FORMATION
2. Familiarisation with the
Lasallian story and
heritage- desired outcomes.
The shared Lasallian charism provides us with a common
understanding, and a common framework that articulates
who we are, what our Mission is, and the implications of this
framework for how we operate, as individuals and
organizations. This shared ethos ideally shapes all
relationships, policies and practices within our workplaces.
Our heritage provides us with a rich resource for study, through
the writings of De La Salle and associated historical
documents. Such study provides us with:
a sound academic background and understanding
a rekindling of the vision of the ideals and values that make
our works Lasallian
a practical and relevant frame of reference
AIMS OF LES FORMATION
3. Development of professional competence in the
workplace
Through the combination of personal connections and
the appropriation of a common mission, LES formation
programs are able to challenge participants to gain
fresh insights and develop skills and practical ideas to
take back to their workplaces. Thus, the whole
workplace community can benefit, and continue to seek
improvement as authentically Lasallian ministries .
