Year 9 Students Visit to Fort St Elmo
Jan 21, 2024
During this week, our three Year 9 classes went for a visit to Fort St Elmo. During this activity, the students learnt about the primary sources of the Maltese history with the help of presentations, videos, newspapers, and diaries from the Second World War. After the presentation, the explanation continued about the digital process to preserve these primary sources in order for them to be accessible to everyone. After the students had a guided tour around the museum where they could see various artefacts from the war. Later they stopped for lunch in the courtyard of the fort and soon after they were divided into two groups. One group worked on the digitalisation of photos taken during the War Damage Commission back in the 40’s, while the other group worked on an artistic scene in connection with an air raid. After the groups alternated, they could enjoy the breathtaking view of the Port from the top of the fortifications. We would like to thank Mr Nathan Buttigieg, our history teacher for these memorable experiences to our students.
