Message from the Headmaster
Dear Parents and Community Members On Monday, the College was fortunate enough to host the Ambassador of USA, HE Douglas W Kmiec. The Ambassador was very keen to pay a visit to Kindergarten and chat to the youngest children in the College. He was also very keen to address our Year 12 IB students and, it is within this context, he sur-prised everyone. The interactive, cutting-edge dialogue led by the Ambassador was inspiring. The stu-dents were challenged to critically analyse the relationship of Church and State. The students were fur-ther challenged to express their views on the ‘crucifix’ legal debate. Our Year 12 students represented the College extremely well demonstrating that they are progressing on the ‘thinking’ IB Diploma curriculum. On behalf of the College, I wish to thank the Ambassador for his interest in our College and for the out-standing presentation. Michael Chittenden Headmaster

Visit by 'FRAWLINA' This week the Kindergarten children were visited by a giant strawberry called 'Frawlina' as part of the School Fruit Scheme. Frawlina and her friend visited each class to raise awareness about fruit and vegetables and to encour-age the children to try different ones. Each Wednesday the children are given a portion of either fruit or salad to try. Before Frawlina left, she gave each child a colouring book about fruit and vegetables to take home. The children enjoyed the visit very much and it is hoped they will be motivated to try unknown fruits and vegetables. Julie Mangion Head of Kindergarten

Francofête Malte 2011 This year the Centre Franco - Maltais de Documentation organised activities related to the Journée de la Francophonie. Andrew T and Eric E S (Yr 7) created an artefact linked to the region of Provence – Côte d’Azur. Ed-ward A (Yr 8) created a poster promoting “Le Carnaval de Nice” with a slogan. On Tuesday 22 March all the participants met at San Gorg Preca Boys’ Junior Lyceum in Hamrun to be awarded prizes and certificates of participation by His Excellency the Ambassador of France. After the event, our boys were delighted to be personally introduced and to exchange a few words with His Excellency. It was a truly memorable event and hopefully we will have many more participants next year! Mrs Anna Busuttil Teacher of French
