4th Update: Tuesday 15th May 2012 - 5th Day
On Sunday, after breakfast we went to the 9.00am mass at Wieprz church. After mass each one of us went to one particular Polish hosting family with whom we were going to spend the day. We all agreed that it was a very positive experience. We had the opportunity to eat some of their traditional food and delicacies, and we were all given also the opportunity to visit a number of very interesting places. Some of us were taken to the mountains which are still covered with snow. In the evening when we met, we shared our varied experiences with these families we were all of the same opinion that our hosts were all really nice with welcoming.
Students, teachers and parents got together on Friday 11th Mayto commemorate the 50th anniversary since the death of our founder, Saint Gorg Preca. This was the second part of the celebration, following the celebrations at school on Wednesday 9th.
The school welcomed its staff, students and their families with open arms at 6:30 pm, ready with a full programme dedicated to its Founder. The hard work and love of many to put up such an event was evident to all and reflected in the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The guests had the opportunity to go around the school and appreciate and enjoy the different activities being held in different parts of the school.
The School Magazine was launched during the PrecaFest. This issue highlights the special events held in our school during 2009, 2010 and 2011. One can find also useful information, informative reading and lot of photos. Veritas Press was responsible for the design, layout, and printing of this issue.
We are sure that all parents and students will appreciate this publication.
We are deeply honoured to have the opportunity to lead St Michael School’s community as it enters its 64th year of service. Through the years we have developed a strong appreciation for the holistic approach to education and we try our best to provide an outstanding opportunity for youths to grow and develop as mature Christian citizens.
Inspiring quote:
As geese flap their wings, they create uplift for the bird following. By flying in a V formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if any bird were to fly alone.
If we share a common direction and a sense of community, we can get where we are going more quickly and easily because we are traveling on the thrust of one another!
