Thank you for your constant help and support. Special thanks to the organisers: Ms Rose Schembri, Ms Angela Portelli and Ms Janie Vassallo.
The school organised a Marathon Walk to raise funds for the purchase of literacy and numeracy resources for the students. The parents were very generous and a greatly appreciated donation was given to the school. 11 families donated more than €20. The highest amount collected was that of €32.60. A book will be given to all these families show our appreciation.
The students walked across the countryside of Mgarr, leaving from the school, walking to Bingemma and up to Lippijja. From there the students walked back to the school covering approximately 5.4km.
During the walk the students were given water break and lunch breaks. The students had leaflets prepared. The aim of these leaflets was for the students to appreciate all that can be found around them in this beautiful village of Mgarr.
Students also had the the opportunity to see a wind turbine, walk past a pig farm and a cemetry, see a number of green houses, olives trees and numerous fields. The fields were growing tomatoes, broad beans, marrows, onions, strawberries and artichokes.
Well done to all the students and members for staff for the effort put into this walk and heartfelt thanks to the parents helpers who made this a successful event.
Caring for others is an essential part of our lives. Students, from a very tender age, need to learn the importance of caring for other. Hospice Malta is a voluntary organisation that helps elderly people and patients suffering from serious illnesses.
A session was held at our school to promote awareness about this voluntary organisation. The main aim was to pass an important message… Do not abandon your elderly or sick people. They are the ones who mostly need your companionship.

The students were given small money boxes to collect money to help this voluntary organisation. The total amount collected was that of €128.33. Thank you for your kind donations.
To commemorate this event students sowed sunflower seeds in the school garden. The Ekoskola Committee, run by Ms Rodgers, will ensure that the seeds are being taken care of.

Our students had the opportunity to meet volunteers from the Hospice Awareness Movement. Hospice volunteers work with great dedication with people who suffer from terminal illness. The aim of this session was to pass on a very important message to our students – that of not abandoning people who are very sick. These people need a lot of comfort and encouragement by their friends and loved ones.
A money box was given to each student to collect money. The money will be passed on to Hospice after the Easter Holidays. To commemorate this event the students will be sowing sun flower seeds in the school garden.
