Feast of our Lady of Sorrows

On Thursday, 30th March at school we celebrated the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows.  During mass we prayed for those members of staff, parents and students who are going through a difficult moment in their life.  After Holy Communion, we watched a touching video featuring an experience by Marc Mero.  Our Chaplain gently reminded our students to always show love and respect towards their parents.  Finally, the Headmaster addressed our students urging them to always appreciate the persons who show us love.  After thanking all the members of staff for their continuous work he wished everyone a blessed Easter and happy holidays.

A New look to our School Gym

This year we wanted to give a fresh new look to our school gym.  For this purpose, at the beginning of this scholastic year, we decided that the funds collected during the Marathon walk which was held last December would be used to finance new gym equipment.  We would like to thank all those who worked on this project, especially our PE teachers who proposed and co-ordinated which equipment should be bought.  A big thank you goes to our students for their commitment to collect money for this project.  We are now waiting for new football poles for the ground and LED bulbs for the gym.

EcoSchool Fieldwork at Buskett

Students forming part of the EcoSchools committee of our school together with the student council of Gozo College Agius De Soldanis Middle School participated in this outdoor session.
They observed and measured various weather parameters, tested water conditions using GLOBE protocols and even had a fun scavenger hunt to improve their observation skills. But it wasn’t all about science – the students also took the time to enjoy the peaceful silence of nature and used it as a source of inspiration for creative writing
It’s amazing how much we can learn and be inspired by our natural surroundings! It was a fantastic way to connect with nature and deepen our understanding of the world around us.

Dutch Teachers and Students visit our School

Cultural and Friendship Experience – On Tuesday, 21st March we welcomed a group of Dutch students and their teachers from Lek en Linge School in Culemborg, Holland.  This visit was organised through the Global Education Agency.  After a short meeting in the Headmaster’s office the Dutch students and their teachers had a school tour and later a meeting in the school hall with our Year 10 students.  During this ice breaking session presentations of both schools were featured, and the students shared experiences together.  The Dutch students were then invited to follow ICT, Home Economics, Economics and Graphical Communication lessons whilst their teachers had a meeting with the Headmaster.  The rest of the time was spent in the gym and in the ground playing games organised by our PE teachers.  It was indeed an enriching experience!  We would like to thank Mr Johann Tabone who co-ordinated this visit and the members of staff who helped during this experience.

Helping Hand at the Soup Kitchen

On Thursday, 16th March six students who take Prince’s Trust lessons at our school were invited together with their teachers to give a helping hand at the Soup Kitchen run by the Order of Friars Minor (Franciscan).  There they helped prepare meals for homeless people and carried out other duties like cleaning.  They also had the opportunity to talk with those who came to eat and sadly realised how many people in Malta need care, not only for basic needs but also because they lack company and opening up with others.  It was indeed an emotional experience which helped our students appreciate the daily blessings we live with every day.  We would like to thank Mr Luke Borg and Ms Laura Cachia who offered this opportunity to our students.
