Human Formation

"The whole work of priestly formation would be deprived of its necessary foundation if it lacked suitable human formation"

Pastores Dabo Vobis, 4

Human formation is about growing in the qualities, the skills and the virtues necessary for living a mature adult life. It involves self-discovery, grasping opportunities for change and growth, mastering one's own unique gifts for service, developing one's strengths and coming to terms with one's weakness. Through formal and informal opportunities the students of Scotus College are given the opportunity to grow as human persons so that they can reflect more and more the humanity of Jesus, the incarnate Son of God.

Throughout the academic year, human formation is continually connected with the other three areas of formation. However, it is also given specific focus with Human Development Days schedulded in January and June.

The Human Development Days concentrate on topics such as: health, diet, stress, relaxation, relationships, time management, transitions, loneliness, celibacy, leadership skills, and self-assessment.
