Dear Parents,
Welcome back from the hot summer and into another exciting new year. The new scholastic year has arrived yet again accompanied by changes not only for your children (new teacher, new class), but also for the school administration. Allow me to introduce myself.

Today, 22nd December, was the last day of school. All the children had a party in their respective classrooms. Then, Father Christmas came to our school. The youngest were very surprised but the maturer students were not fooled by the costume. They still saw Mr. Darren Bonnici, a Year 6 teacher, underneath all that fluffy beard! What is certain is that everyone had a great time.
At this time of year our children visit the Senior Citizens’ Home. It is an annual appointment that the residents eagerly await. The children sang Carols and then distributed gifts made by them during PSD sessions. There was also plenty of time for a chat with these people who really enjoyed the company of these youngsters.
As part of the Healthy Lifestyle Campaign, all classes go for Fun Walks. Last Thursday it was the turn of the Year 2 classes. The weather was fine and the children enjoyed walking in this picturesque fishing village. The teachers took advantage of the occasion to point out interesting facts about fishing.
On 1st December, the Kindergarten Assistants held an Activity Day for parents. The children sang Rhymes and songs on the various topics tackled so far in class. They also showed their parents how eager they were to use the new Interactive Whiteboards. The parents were delighted to see their four-year olds participate in the various activities prepared by their teachers.
Since our school is very near to the National Pool our teachers take our students regularly for swimming lessons. As part of the Healthy Lifestyle Campaign our students are given exposure to as many sports disciplines as possible. Hopefully, these youngsters will grow up to be individuals who take up a sports activity as a pastime.
Our Year 5 students were taken for an educational outing to Mdina. There the students could admire the beautiful architecture as they strolled down the narrow streets. Then they visited the Natural History Museum. Afterwards, they were taken for a train ride around Rabat.
During October, PSD teachers prepare students for the coming Council elections. In the meantime, all those intending to contest the election start their publicity campaign. Our students take this very seriously and interested contenders do their best to come up with the most eye-catching poster. These posters are hung up on the noticeboard for all to see.
Our students are being introduced to the pleasures of rambling in our beautiful countryside by being taken for Fun Walks. This month Year 4 and Year 6 students were taken to Buskett where they could enjoy the beauty of nature while getting some fresh air and healthy exercise. The students came back to school tired but excited. Hopefully these good practices will be taken up by parents. This would give them the opportunity to spend some quality time with their kids and set the example for a Healthy Lifestyle. Life is too precious to spend it all cramped up in front of a computer.
Dun Karm is our National Poet and a Special Assembly was held to commemorate the 50th Anniversary from his death. Teachers held lessons in class highlighting the various aspects of this great poet’s life. Then the children’s work was exhibited in the school foyer. Years 5 and 6 were actively involved in today’s Special Assembly. They shared what they had learned in class with the whole school and sang Reġa sebaħ ja Mulejja and The National Anthem. Finally, an attractively illustrated book featuring some of the most appealing poems was given to every student.
