Today our Year 7 and Year 8 students had the opportunity to meet Trevor Zahra,  the famous all time Maltese author who is popular with both children and adolescents.  Our students interviewed Mr Zahra by asking him questions they had prepared about his career and about the many books he wrote.  The school band animated this meeting, and we also had an exhibition of paintings by our Year 8 and Year 9 art students.  After the interview, Terence Camilleri, a Year 11 student presented a painting to Trevor Zahra entitled “L-Avventuri ta’ Trevor Żahra” as a token of thanks for this famous Maltese author.

Trevor Zahra autographed books for our students. We would like to thank the Maltese and Art teachers and the LSEs for their help and for making this visit possible.

As part of the preparation programme for post-secondary education, our year 11 students went for an organised visit to the Main Campus, MCAST in Paola.

Besides the meetings with the guidance teachers, our students had also the opportunity to visit the Institutes of Engineering and Transport, Information Technology, Business Management, Community Services and Applied Sciences.  We would like to thank the MCAST counsellor and guidance teachers for the opportunities they offer to our students.

Year 9 Economics students visited Consolidated Biscuits Ltd. They were given a tour around the factory where they saw the whole process of making soft and hard dough for different types of biscuits. They had time to ask questions regarding resources used and how the company incorporates sustainable development measures. We would like to thank Ms Marcelle Sapiano for the tour she gave to our students and professional service.

Between Wednesday, 16th and Friday, 18th November our Year 7 students had their first live-in at Dar il-Ħanin Samaritan.

After a brief talk by Mr Camilleri our keen students left school enthusiastically on Wednesday afternoon to start their first live-in together.  After lunch, our Year 7 students left to Dingli for a hike.  It was an enjoyable afternoon together! Then back at Dar Ħanin they had dinner and watched the film Pinocchio together.

On Thursday, after mass celebration and breakfast the students had a discussion on the film they watched yesterday.  Then they split up in groups and had a session to get to know each other better.  The live-in proceeded with lunch and another hike, this time to Salib tal-Għolja in Siġġiewi.  In the evening they played football in the school ground and had a treasure hunt.

The last day of the live-in began with mass and breakfast.  Soon after, our students left for their last hike to Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq.  They ended the hike playing football at the Pembroke Museum.  In the afternoon they watched the classic film Matilda and after had time for evaluation.

At 6pm the parents started arriving. They gathered in the hall for a talk by Mr Farrugia, our Religion teacher who highlighted some important points about upbringing and discipline in youths.  Soon after the students joined their parents and together they watched photos taken during the live-in.  The live-in ended with a get together in the garden.

We would like to thank Mr Camilleri who co-ordinated this live-in and all the teachers and LSEs who generously commit their time to make these live-ins a memborable experience for our students.

On Tuesday, 15^th November the school basketball team participated in a competition at Savio College.  Our students had the opportunity to mix with other students from different schools.

We would like to thank Mr Busuttil, our PE teacher for co-ordinating this basketball team and thanks also to our students who took part in this competition.
