The students of St Nicholas College Mgarr Primary ended their second term with a valid music workshop animated by Peter Paul Galea from Tribali, a local music band. Students were asked to prepare musical instruments, namely shakers and bongos, using recycled material.

During the workshop students were shown a video clip by Wasteserv Malta about the harm being done to the environment because of the huge amount of plastic being used. Unfortunately only 5% is recycled. Most of the plastic ends up in the ocean harming the ecosystem deforming sea creatures and causing their death.

Students and members of staff had great fun creating music out of nothing, but home-made instruments and a very talented musician.

Moreover, €185 were donated by students to help missionaries in the Philippines. Well done and thank you for your support 🙂

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.
