Book Launch… L-Ingwanti Magiċi
The school hosted the launch of the book L-Ingwanti Magiċi. This book has been recently written by an emergent author, Ms Anabelle Warrington, who also happens to be the school’s support literacy teacher. The launch kicked off with a short play about the pleasure of reading directed by Ms Angelique Attard, Yr 4.1 teacher. Following the recital, a presentation was held by Ms Eleanor Vella, HoD, whereby she explained all the work being done by the national literacy agency.
Later, a number of students interviewed the author. Corazon Mizzi, who is both a local singer and a reading ambassador, read a chapter from the book. A workshop for parents and students followed. 
The show came to an end with a beautiful song by Corazon herself. We hope that in the near future we may have students from our school who might become authors.
The school would like to thank Mr David Muscat, CEO from the National Literacy Agency and Horizon Publications for presenting all students with a free copy of the book and for attending this event. Special thanks goes to Ms Josephine Mifsud, college principal and Ms Corazon Mizzi.
Finally the school would like to thank all members of staff, especially the assistant heads, and the students and parents for their constant support 🙂
Congratulations to Ms Anabelle Warrington… We look forward to the sequel of L-Ingwanti Magiċi.

Tablets workshop for Parents and Students
Following the successful introduction of the use of tablets in year 4 last year, another scholastic year kicked off with the distribution of tablets to the current year 4 students.
Being an innovative way of teaching and learning, parents were invited to join their children for a hands-on workshop. Both parents and students worked together, while teachers gave a demonstration of how tablets are being used to assist in the daily teaching and learning.
The lessons were prepared by the class teachers, Ms Angelique Attard and Ms Kylie Said, together with the elearning support teacher, Ms Laura Schembri. Apart from sharing good practice with both students and parents, this was a great opportunity to show the hard work being done by teachers at St Nicholas College, Mgarr Primary. Moreover, this was evidence of great team work which aims to include all stakeholders in an highly educational manner.
