“A day in the life” of your School – capturing the Magis

Capture the Ignatian character of your school in a creative, original and fun way!

Is the MAGIS a characteristic that describes your school?

Here are a couple of great MAGIS descriptions that might help you create your schools’ Mannequin Challenge scene.

Encouraging Excellence
A further characteristic of a Jesuit ministry is openness to new ideas and developments and a willingness to respond in fresh and imaginative ways. Changing situations demand changing responses. Not content with mediocrity or the status quo, a Jesuit work is always ready to introduce new improvements, to face new challenges, to embrace new horizons. This reaching for the ‘more’ is known as the Magis. The Jesuit Workplace Ethos & Practice, Peter Kenney Project.

Excellence in formation
“More” does not imply comparison with others or measurement of progress against an absolute standard; rather is it the fullest possible development of each person’s individual capacities at each stage of life, joined to the willingness to continue this development throughout life and the motivation to use those developed gifts for others.
