On Wednesday 15th May 2013, the Mgarr Primary School, which forms part of St. Nicholas College, organised the annual Celebration of Skills. This is an occasion that all students, teachers, school administration, and parents look forward to every year, as during this celebration the students have the opportunity to “show off” their capabilities by taking part in various representations, very ably supported by their respective teachers..  All parents are invited to attend and they do attend in full force as evidenced by the packed school hall on the day.

  • The full program consisted of:
  • A Welcome address by the students
  • The college anthem performed by the school choir
