Expectations of Staff
Expectations of Staff
The entire staff of Maris Stella School promotes and operates out of the Mission Statement for Catholic Mission Schools of Palau. Catholic Mission Schools staff members must be convinced of the importance of their work. They must see their work as vital to the functioning of the school, and realize the important contribution that the school makes to the development of the Catholic Church of Palau and the Diocese of the Caroline Islands, the Republic of Palau and Micronesia. They must be prepared to communicate their convictions to fellow staff members and students alike, especially through their actions.
Staff members must be able to live and work with others in a genuine community nourished by openness, tolerance, forgiveness and love. They must be prepared to do this in a community of people from several different cultures. They must be willing, when the inevitable tensions arise in such a community, to honestly search for means to resolve any difficulties they might have with others.
Staff members must see their work at Catholic Mission Schools not just as a job but, rather, as a mission. They must realize that their aim, above all, is to serve the Palauan community by helping to produce young men and women who will be intellectually, spiritually, morally, socially, and emotionally competent, so they can better live out their Catholic faith and answer the Christian call to service.
The Maris Stella School staff is comprised of Administration, Teaching Staff, and Support Staff. Along with responsibilities outlined below, all staff abides by the Code of Ethics (pp 19-23).
