Monday, 27^th March – Today two groups of students who learn Economics at school took part in an Innovation Challenge organised by JA Malta as part of the theme – Building a Financial Capable Generation.  The aim of this Innovation Challenge was for students to come out with innovative and sustainable ideas which may help create more jobs in the community.  We congratulate our students for participating with interest in this challenge and for their creative ideas.

We would like to thank Ms Josianne Debono Tanti, our Economics teacher, and Ms Pamela Farrugia and Mr Christian Axisa for accompanying our students.

As part of an educational programme. on Thursday 23^rd March our students, accompanied by members of staff visited a number of historical places – National Museum of Archaelogy, St John’s Co-Cathedral, Domus Romana, Mdina, Fort St Elmo and the Upper Barrakka.  Our students and members of staff learnt how to appreciate the rich history of the Maltese islands.  We would like to thank Mr Nathan Buttigieg, our history teacher for planning and co-ordinating these outings.

Cultural and Friendship Experience – On Tuesday, 21^st 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.

On Thursday, 16^th 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.
