The Headmaster spoke to those present about the importance of studying and the responsibility where school and studies are concerned now that these students have to deal with the challenges of adoloscence.
We would like to thank our Guidance and PSCD teachers for their dedication and help to guide our students. We appreciate the presence of the parents during this meeting and we thank them for their cooperation.
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.
