Blessing of St Martin’s Bags…
On the occasion of St Martin’s feast, the bags distributed to our Kinder students were blessed by the Acting Parish Priest Dun Valent Borg. The pupils and the KGAs gathered together in our kinder section and Dun Valent explained to our young pupils the importance of this feast, who actually was St Martin and asked the pupils to join for a prayer. The bags where then given to our pupils by their KGAs.

Timetable Half Yearly Exams February 2015
Below is the timetable for half yearly exams to be held in February 2015. Kindly note that his timetable has been updated.
Young Entrepreneurs
Heads of School and Principals from India visited St Nicholas College Mgarr Primary to observe an entrepreneurship lesson with Year 5 pupils. The pupils were involved in a college based project “Our Community” where they had to produce written articles later to be published in the College magazine. In these sessions the pupils learnt about design, pre-press and marketing techniques whilst deciding on the sale prize. The magazine will be sold during Book Fairs organised by the various schools in the college and the pupils will be in charge of the stall. Today’s lesson was the last of this and was observed by the delegation.
The delegation was welcomed to the school by the Principal Mr Anthony Sammut and the Head of School. They assisted for the introduction of the lesson and afterwards involved themselves in the discussions taken up by the pupils. This was a unique experience for the pupils as well. The pupils were confident and explained the process to the guests.
Bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles…
The Kinder 1.4 students of Ms Janice had a very bubbly day today. During one of the activities held in their schedule, the students were given the opportunity to create a bubble collage.
Through such an activity the students learn colours, have fun and create a most interesting bubble collage while helping their lungs to grow stronger when blowing out to create bubbles 🙂
Pasta Day… Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle

A snapshot of year 6.1
The Yr 6.1 students of Ms Raisa Cutajar have kick started the year through a number of various activities. An element of fun is always present. The photos taken in the school playing area evidence of this.

well done 🙂
