Celebration Day 2016 – Respect for All
This year we are celebrating diversity. We live in a strange, but beautiful world… Full of hardships, yet full of satisfaction… Full of fear, yet full of hope… Surrounded by war… yet full of love…
We live in a world full of diversity which brings along many challenges. We have students who struggle at school academically, students who are not accepted because they are “different”, students who face language barriers, students of different cultures, ethnicity, religious beliefs, etc. It is very easy to forget the hardships these students face daily, in silence.
However, because we work as a team, we work hard to promote respect and diversity. Well done to all the members of staff and students for the fantastic performance and for spreading a message of “Respect for All”

Music Workshop by Local Band – Tribali
Last Friday Ms Borg Vella, assistant head, organised a music workshop for the students in liaison with a Local Band – Tribali. Peter Paul met our request and performed a number of hands-on work shops for the primary students.
Students were asked to prepare homemade instruments, namely a bongo or shaker, using recycled material. Students were also asked to make a donation to help students in the Philippines living in a very deprived area. The Father in charge of these students is currently trying to build an orchestra and to give these students lessons, rather than have them roaming in the streets and ending in a very unfortunate situation. A sum of €150 was donated at the end of the workshop.
Below is a short video clip of the various workshops held. Well done to all the students for actively participating and for generously donating money to less fortunate children.
Green MT… Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The school is always working hard to promote the importance of taking care of the environment. It is evident that in Malta we still need to work harder to take care of our trash and to ensure that we make better use of the 3 Rs i.e. reduce, reuse and recycle. Representatives from Green MT, together with their mascot Ċikka, held workshops for the primary students. During these workshops students were given a brief explanation of how waste material should be separated and recycled. At the end of the session the students and teachers had fun dancing to the song below performing to Kristina Casolani’s Reduce Reuse Recycle, the song below.
The Snake Game… An initiative to promote walking to school
The school is participating in the Traffic Snake Game. Basically this activity involves the monitoring of modes of transport used by students to arrive to school. The aim, of course, is to promote the use of sustainable options especially walking or cycling (where possible) to school.
