MDIA Comic Book Roadshow Session

Thursday, 26th May – The Malta Digital Innovation Authority launched its first issue of the comic “The Maltaverians Comic – An Amazing Bit of Data” in our school.  Our Year 9 and Year 10 students who study Computing and IT VET at school were invited for a presentation of this launch.  The purpose of this publication is to widen the knowledge of the students about technology and to be guided about their future careers.  These comics are intended to promote more interest amongst teenagers about reading and increasing their knowledge about technical initiatives around the world.  After the presentation, the students had time to ask questions in relation with this subject. We would like to thank our Computing and IT VET teachers for offering this experience to our students.

The online version of the comic can be accessed via the following link:  https://www.mdia.gov.mt/…/issue-1-the-maltaverians…/

‘Mewweġ, Mewweġ’ – Musical Related to the Sea

For this year’s annual celebration, one of our teachers chose a number of popular Maltese songs related to the sea and amalgamated them in a drama using visual effects to create a pleasant atmosphere for those present.  Mr Robert Aloisio and Mr Miguel Formosa, together with 56 students worked together to present a varied programme.  We had the opportunity to appreciate Maltese tradition and culture.  Above all we appreciated the sea which surrounds our island.  It was an enjoyable evening for all those present who sang along with the music.  We would like to thank all those who worked hard to make this evening a successful one.
