School Development Planning

Educators had a very intensive day of workshops and discussions to prepare action plans for the coming scholastic year. Through reflection upon current practices, healthy debate, clarification of issues, discussion of challenges being currently faced by the school and the support and input of all the Mgarr staff, together with the input of HoD Maths, HoD Assessment for Learning, EO for curriculum, Digital Literacy Support teacher, Literacy Support Teacher, the Nuture class team and Peripatetic teachers, this was yet another successful day.

The Head of School would like to thank all these educators for their hard work, dedication and for taking this exercise very seriously.

Awturi Maltin Iżuru l-Iskola Tagħna

Trevor Żahra u Natalie Portelli, żewġ awturi Maltin laqgħu l-istedina li jiġu l-iskola tagħna. Bdejna l-programm billi rajna reċta qasira ta’ waħda mill-praspar ta’ Kunċett u Marinton, imtella’ minn Ms Eleanor Vella u Ms Cora Calleja.

Wara kien hemm ħin fejn l-istudenti staqsew xi mistoqsijiet lill-awturi. L-awturi għoġobhom isibu l-ħin biex jiffirmax xi kotba minn tat-tfal u l-għalliema stess.

Trevor Żaħra u Natalie Portelli ħallew messaġġ lill-istudenti u fl-istess ħin qassmu magħhom l-esperjenza tagħhom. Grazzi!

Marathon Walk 2019

This yearly appointment is an event I looked forward to! Seeing all students and members of staff doing their utmost to keep up with a 15km walk is no joke 🙂 However enjoying breath taking views makes this walk worthwhile! Making memories for students at one of the “windows” found on the Maltese Islands adds to the fun.The marathon walk offers an opportunity for all to relax and have fun while learning through activities prepared by teachers.

Selfie moments with members of staff and exploring the whereabouts of Ġebel Ċiantar are moments that I will cherish forever.

Students enjoying themselves, even though some were exhausted.

Some places of interest included the Dingli Radar, Maddalena Chapel and Buskett Gardens. Along the way I had to carry a number  bags to allow students to get a rest 🙂

Students also got a closer glimpse of Filfa and Fawwara Chapel. Thanks to all for making this another successful event. Special thanks to all those who donated money. A record of €1400 was collected to purchase resources for our students!!!

Celebrating Mass for Our Lady of Sorrows

Mass was celebrated at school by Fr George Schembri on this special feast of Our Lady of Sorrows.

Special thanks goes to Ms Mathea Mompalao (violinist), Mr Andrew Bugeja (pianist) and Ms Kathleen Farrugia (singer) for animating this mass celebration.

Year 4 students read all the readings and prayers. We also had a very good turnout of altar boys and girls who helped the priest during mass. Well done to all for this joint effort.
