At the background, it is remembered that the mind of the Church about the education apostolate is that the school is structured towards fraternal humanism leading to a community of love. Each person’s activity builds up the humanity of others enabling them to achieve their God-given missions in life and realize their full potentials. At the core of this community of love, there are some essential marks of a Christian community which are: service, sharing, worship, and witnessing.

The school leader is expected to build a community spirit by promoting these marks of community in all Archdiocesan Schools. Witnessing is critical from top to bottom of the school organogram. It is therefore important that the school leader pays attention to relationships within and outside the school community. The school’s “spirit” manifests itself in the type of relationships that exist within it. Such interpersonal relationship is spontaneous and sincere, built on love, grace, dialogue and prayer. Without this primary mark of a Christian community, the others will be difficult to inculcate.
