On Monday 25 April, the entire school enjoyed a day out! In spite of the weather warnings, it turned out to be a glorious day for our Sponsored Walk, with the different year groups walking along a different route, enjoying the local heritage and countryside.

Year 3 pupils walked all the way to Verdala, our College’s Boys Secondary School. Year 4 pupils walked all the way to Xgħajra. Year 5 pupils went to Kalkara through an old passage way in the countryside, then to Xgħajra before heading back to school. The Year 6s walked to Birgu, then across to Kalkara and eventually back to Żabbar.

This activity had various purposes – at school we constantly try to promote a healthy lifestyle and a walk in this beautiful spring weather sure goes a long way towards promoting a positive attitude to physical exercise. We also wanted our pupils to experience the rich historical and cultural heritage with which we are surrounded and which we often take for granted. The activity also served to raise funds for the various projects under way at school at the moment. We are refurbishing the school hall and the school library as wellas setting up a multi purpose room. Thanks to our pupils’ efforts we have managed to raise a nice sum of money. This is extremely encouraging and will help us continue raising the standards in our school.

Thanks go to all members of staff who helped to make this event possible and all those who donated money to support the school.
