Ms. Gyzel Rodrigues

Becoming a teacher was not destined.

It was fate! After clearing UPSC in my stream I somewhat couldn’t adjust to the work profile and hence thought of choosing a different path.

Coming from a family of Teacher’s, I decided to try that profile, and well who knew during the course itself I would be offered a job here at Campion selected by the most loved former principal Mr.Paul Machado. I never knew this so called untold profession in my fate would be the most loved and right decision I had made.

So, here I am, as a Teacher still at my first job giving my best and trying to live up to my boys expectations ans loving each day amongst them.

Motto as a Teacher:

‘Every child deserves a champion—an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.’

– Rita Pierson

If you read this Motto, it is very simple but it withholds power that can transform a child from being an average student to an extra ordinary student and we at Campion strive to work on that.

That is my Motto, I strive to make them analyze because thinking is what all do.

I make them apply because understanding is what all do and overall I make them create because learning is what all do.

Aim- To build a society of sincere, smart and sensitive individuals.

Ambition- To transform our boys into whom we call ‘someone to become huge.

How I perceive myself as a Teacher in the future:

Not a teacher but a facilitator, friend, and guide.

I perceive myself to be that teacher who my boys can walk up to and ask anything, share anything and talk anything.

Together with them we will explore those wonders that maybe never even was known.

They will grow, as men of honor who will transform everyone’s thinking.

I see myself as a technological, professional grown individual to help my boys grow in a more concise and precise manner.

Goal for Campion School as a Teacher:

Campion school being the best always will continue to remain so. But together including all various professions we can soar to heights never thought possible before.

My goal for Campion is to evolve into a school which makes headlines for every successful path it chooses and reach a stage where all look up to it as a school reaching new dimensions.

Ms. Persis Mistry

I am a proud student of Meher and Nosherwan Jehangir, under whose guidance I completed all my grade examinations in Speech and Drama and an “Advanced Performer’s Certificate” from the Trinity College, London, exam board. From a young age, I enjoyed performing and while still in Junior College, I began working as a teacher at the Jehangir’s School of Speech and Drama (JSSD), where I trained children to appear for speech and drama examinations.

After graduating with a B.Com degree, I spent over 3 years exploring the world of Investment Banking and Finance, but soon realised that teaching speech and drama was my calling, and I went back to doing what made me most happy – teaching and training young performers.

In 2010, I joined Campion School, part-time, as visiting faculty for Speech and Drama, teaching classes 1 to 4. I took a gap year from Sep 2012 to Sep 2013, to complete my Masters degree in London – an MA in Applied Theatre (Drama in the Community & Drama in Education), from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, (University of London). I returned to Campion School, upon completing my Masters.

As a freelance drama facilitator, I have worked at other schools, alongside Campion, in the past, including St Xavier’s Boys’ Äcademy (SXBA) and SRCC’s Citi Academy for Special Education. I have written scripts and directed plays for many schools and was a part of the Akanksha Foundation’s Drama Club.

In addition to teaching at Campion, I currently conduct my own Speech & Drama Classes for children. I also volunteer some of my time to social work through a group called Live to Give.

My goal is to encourage all my students to use Drama and Improvisation, to express their thoughts and ideas creatively. I hope to help every student find their own self confidence and feel comfortable voicing their opinions.

A quote that I find inspiring is by American Historian Henry Adams, “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” I believe we have a responsibility as teachers, because the words we say, and our actions can potentially impact the young minds we interact with. I thoroughly enjoy every moment of teaching and I am grateful to connect with so many young and talented performers, every day.

Ms. Analisa Alphonso

The intriguing world of mind and behaviour always held an enigma for me. Understanding the different ways in which each individual learns and thinks has always been a passion. I like to read, research and try different techniques and therapies which have been introduced and used successfully.

Since 2010, I have helped several schools design and implement the school counselling and special education programs to suit the school board. I have accomplished these by collaborating with and training the faculty, parents, and other stakeholders to sensitize them in dealing with children diagnosed with disabilities and behavioural disorders.

I personally think every classroom presents a unique community of learners that varies not only in abilities, but also in learning styles. As such, my motto is to give these young individuals the tools to cultivate their own gardens of knowledge by leveraging their strengths. In the words of Albert Einstein “Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think.”

To accomplish this, I teach to the needs of each child so that all learners can feel capable and successful. The type of support provided to each depends entirely on the individual’s needs. I aim to have an education plan tailored to meet the identified needs of each child. I do this, by using topics that involve the interests of the child and make learning relevant to life. I incorporate themes, integrated units, projects, group work, individual work, and hands-on learning to make children active learners. I am flexible and I am willing to implement a new lesson plan on the spot to fill in any learner skill gaps before moving forward. I welcome mistakes as it is a door to learning.

Above all, my belief is that learning should be fun and exciting for all!

My recipe for success in developing learners is combining my knowledge, skills and expertise; adding fun, love, laughter and compassion; and ends with a final swirl of respect and patience. I am passionate about inspiring students to develop their self-confidence through learning and communication while recognizing that lifelong learning is the true pathway to self-development, self enhancement, and success. Thus, providing group or individual responsive therapy has always been my focus.

Where some might see bad behaviour and disability as obstacles, I see possibility, therefore it is my mission to offer every child I encounter, possibilities in place of their obstacles.
