Thinking of Others…

Celebrating the feast of St Martin is a long standing tradition at our school. The aim of celebrating this feast is to instill a sense of giving and receiving. Kindergarten students prepared hearts which were painted prior to this event. The hearts were stuck on a rainbow template representing the beauty of helping others. Dun Gorg, Mgarr Chaplain blessed all the goody bags which were later distributed to students.

Special thanks to Ms Borg Vella for organising the event and to Ms Joanne Galea for her support.

St Martin

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.
