Dear parents and guardians,

We kindly urge you to collaborate with us by bringing all used batteries to the school, where they will be collected and subsequently donated for this noteworthy cause.

We extend our sincere appreciation for your anticipated cooperation.

Today, St Michael School warmly received 72 new students embarking on their academic journey in the 7th year. The day commenced with a brief assembly in the playground and a mass together with all the educators and parents in the hall. Following a welcome address by Mr. Tabone and Mr. Camilleri, the students were introduced to the guidance team and subsequently enjoyed a short break. They were then guided on a comprehensive tour of the school by their class mentors and other educators, culminating in a school-related quiz overseen by Mr. Aloisio.

Iċ-ċelebrazzjoni tal-ħajja ta’ Jake Vella

Għeżież,

Kif diġà tafu l-funeral ta’ seħibna Jake Vella, Year11, se jsir nhar is-Sibt li ġej fl-10.30am fil-Knisja Parrokkjali ta’ Birżebbuġa. Kif tafu Jake qatt ma ġie l-iskola fiżikament imma lkoll nafu li ma kienx jitlef ġurnata li ma kienx jidħol online biex isegwi l-lezzjonijiet. Żgur li din id-determinazzjoni ħalliet impatt pożittiv fuq kull wieħed u waħda minnha sew studenti u anke edukaturi. Għaldaqstant nħeġġiġkom ħafna, b’mod speċjali l-istudenti tal-Year11, biex bħala komunità tal-iskola St Michael nattendu għaċ-ċelebrazzjoni tal-ħajja tiegħu. Tkun xi ħaġa sabiħa li dawk l-istudenti li jixtiequ jissieħbu fil-korteo bir-roti dan ser jitlaq minn ħdejn Al Fresco f’Birżebbuġa fid-9am.

Inħeġġeġ ukoll biex kemm jista’ jkun nużaw it-trasport pubbliku jew nagħmlu carpooling.

Grazzi u l-paċi magħkom.

Dear all,

As you already know, the funeral of our beloved friend Jake Vella, Year 11, will take place next Saturday at 10.30 am at Birżebbuġa Parish Church. Despite not being physically present at school, Jake’s unwavering commitment to his studies, constantly logging in for lessons, has deeply impacted us all. His determination has been an inspiration to both students and educators. Therefore, I strongly encourage you, especially the Year 11 students, to attend the celebration of his life as members of the St. Michael’s School community. It would be remarkable for those students who wish to join the Corteo with bicycles. The Corteo will depart from Al Fresco in Birżebbuġa at 9am.

I also encourage you to use public transport or carpool as much as possible.

Thank you, and peace be with you.
