Radiant smiling, yet tired faces appeared coming out from the arrival lounge at around 2:30 p.m. last Saturday. Our Second Formers together with their teachers were returning from a memorable etwinning experience in Vezzano, Italy. With a stunning packed programme, full of engaging activities and a welcoming hosting school that surpassed all our expectations, our students had a wonderful week full of excursions, sports, lessons and sharing of friendship. I we were to summarize the experience in a few words we would say that the experience was simply superb!
On April 22, 1970, 20 million people across America celebrated the first Earth Day. It was a time when cities were buried under their own smog and polluted rivers caught fire. Now Earth Day is celebrated annually around the globe. Through the combined efforts of the U.S. government, grassroots organizations, and citizens like you, what started as a day of national environmental recognition has evolved into a world-wide campaign to protect our global environment. Learn about the history of Earth Day.

When you read, you will open up a life time of learning. When you read, you will gain knowledge and understanding of what you have just read.
Reading is a very important part of our lives. We need to take time everyday and read at least 30 to 40 minutes a day. It really helps when you read out aloud. You can hear yourself and see how you pronounce your words. Your reading will improve if you keep reading out aloud. You should take whatever steps needed to help you learn the Art of Reading.
May you find happiness in every direction your paths take you.
May you never lose your sense of wonder,
and may you hold your sense of humor
you use to brighten the lives of everyone who know you.
May you keep on trying to reach for your stars.
May you never forget how wonderful you are.
