Today, our school day began with an exciting preparatory meeting filled with enthusiasm from both educators and students as we prepared for Sports Day! Each of us belongs to a House, and the leaders are working hard to organise everyone and energise them for the big event. This year, the PE teachers have not only included the classic Sports Day activities for the winning shield but also added leagues that will take place during our mid-day breaks, an art competition, and a quiz! It’s a thrilling way to determine which House will take home the shield this year. May the best House win! Good luck to the Phoenicians, Normans, Romans, and Knights! Let’s make this Sports Day unforgettable!

Today, Ms. Amanda Smith and Ms. Jana Borg Vella concluded their visit to Dublin, Ireland. During their two days there, they collaborated with educators at Mount Seskin High School to prepare a program for our teachers and students who will visit this school in the coming months. They held meetings with the coordinators of the school’s international projects, as well as with the principal and vice principal. Thanks to this Erasmus+ project, the teachers were able to observe the work of the educators at the school closely. We would like to extend our gratitude to Mount Seskin High School for welcoming our teachers and to Erasmus+ for providing these valuable opportunities.

Last October, students participating in the King’s Trust International Achieve had the honour of meeting Their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, during their visit to Malta for a party celebrating the King’s birthday. Among these privileged students was Justin Abela, a Year 10 student. The students had the opportunity to share how KTI Achieve has positively impacted their lives and helped them enhance various skills in preparation for their post-secondary education and careers.

Throughout the month of October, our students actively participated in a series of initiatives aimed at promoting awareness of Mental Health. The planned activities included the creation of informative posters, quizzes, and structured debates on the subject. We express our sincere gratitude to the PSCD teachers who skillfully coordinated these activities.

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Daniel Frendo, Nathaniel Micallef, and Benjamin Mifsud, all of Year 8, for being honoured as ‘Reading Champions’ at St Michael School by the National Literacy Agency. Furthermore, we would like to recognize Nathan Montebello from Year 8 for being named the local champion in sailing within his age category. We wish all of our students continued success in their endeavours.
