Here are some tips to success!
1. Have a Positive Attitude
Approach the big test as you'd approach a giant jigsaw puzzle. It might be tough, but you can do it! A positive attitude goes a long way toward success.
2. Make a Plan
The week before the test, ask your teacher what the test is going to cover. Is it from the textbook only? Class notes? Can you use your calculator? If you've been absent, talk to friends about material you may have missed. Make a list of the most important topics to be covered and use that as a guide when you study.
Works on the face-lift of the side of the school facing the football ground are now complete.
As the workers put on the last finishing touches to their work and dismantle the scaffolding, the beautiful work done can be now fully appreciated and enjoyed.
Apart from the sun, the only natural resource we have is our stone. A very well know Architect and Professor, once said of our builders that they work on our stone as if they are curving through biscuits! And as we witnessed the progress of the work that was being done day after day on the side of our school, we could appreciate the beautiful colour and texture of our globigerina limestone.
Mr Jens Anderson from Kumla School, Vialundskolan – Sweden, together with two of his colleagues, recently spent half a day with us at our school. The main objective behind their visit was to explore the Maltese Educational System particularly our School's philosophy and ethos and to see how we implement ICT across the curriculum, this being one of our main objectives of our school development plan. Mr Anderson came to know us through the eTwinning Platform as part of the EU Life Long Learning projects.
The Commissioner for Children, Ms Helen D'Amato, visited our school on as part of her consultation process with regards to the compilation and publication of the Convention on the Rights of Children.

The day we had been waiting for finally kicked off. Yes, it was the weekend of our live-in held from 12th until 14th and 19th until 21st of January respectively.

As soon as our school day was over, we all gathered in the hall so that Mr Callus and Mr Farrugia, who gratefully coordinated this event, could speak to us.
As we leave Christmas and the New Year's celebrations behind us, we start to focus on the work that lies ahead in this second term of our scholastic year.
Definitely, the students will be gearing up for their Half-Yearly examinations that are due to start on the 6th February. Some will also be engaged in a number of ECDL modules that will be held next week.
As we have now completed the first phase of consultation with regards the embellishment of the second floor, we will now enter a new phase on the project KREATTIV.
