College STEM Week : Hosting Students from Qormi SS

On Thursday, 14th March, our year 3 students welcomed year 3 students from Qormi SS and together they took part in several activities connected to the topic Materials. The introductory activity was held in the school hall and students had to identify different materials and their properties. Afterwards, students were divided into four groups and four different workshops were held. The chosen investigations were: Testing Parachutes; Testing Paper Boats; Building a Waterproof Shelter and Finding the Best Solution to Transport Water. A big well done to all year 3 educators and students.

Women’s Day Special Assembly

On 7th March, our school celebrated International Women’s Day with a special assembly. Class 4.2 presented a special assembly to commemorate Women’s Day and honour the contributions and achievements of women. International Women’s Day is celebrated annually on 8th March. It is a day when people around the world come together to recognise the achievements that women and girls have made, as well as call for further action to close gender gaps – in pay, work, education and other life opportunities. Although tremendous progress has been made in recent decades, there is still a long way to go before life opportunities are equal for women and men, and boys and girls. Instead of listening to stereotypes, we need to remember that we are all different and show respect for other people’s achievements, strengths, likes and dislikes. Everyone should have the same opportunities. We can all be good at anything we want to, we just need to try our best and work hard. We can be anything we want to be! Our interests and abilities are what matters when thinking about what we can do in the future, not whether we are a boy or a girl. If we work hard at something, we can achieve it!
