HEADMISTRESS' NOTE

Dear Readers

Another academic year has come to an end for our School; another

amazing and exciting year for PASCAL ENGLISH SCHOOL Lar-

naka.

As an educational institution, the evidence of our work is sometimes

very subtle. But after eleven years, we have graduates that have

completed their university studies with honours, and have started

their careers. They encourage us and make us proud at the same

time when they contact us via emails, letters or Facebook to let us

know that we made a difference in their lives.

In a world that is changing very fast, we aim to influence and touch

our pupils’ lives. On one hand we offer academic excellence and on

the other hand we provide our pupils with all the other necessary in-

gredients that will help them become righteous, and socially knowl-

edgeable, human beings.

The seeds we plant every single day in our School are now visible

and we have every reason to feel proud. The magazine you are

holding in your hands is testimony of all the hard work that is car-

ried out by the staff, teachers and parents.

We shall continue to dedicate all our efforts in providing our pupils

with a healthy, happy learning environment so that they can contin-

ue to grow and bloom.

Despina Lioliou

Headmistress

The twelfth Hidden Talents’ Evening

was held in our Amphitheatre, here in

Pascal English School Larnaka. The

event was organized by the House of

Poseidon from the three Pascal Eng-

lish Schools in Cyprus; Larnaka, Nico-

sia and Limassol.

All the performers confirmed that

what is more important beyond the

prizes is the experience gained in preparing for the

evening.

It was truly a wonderful experience where students

from all three schools came together and worked

hard as a team. Through a healthy competition such

as this one, students learn to respect and support each

other. Each school participated with five different

acts.

Our school’s acts were Demetris Phokou 3A (Apollo)

Marina Georgiou 2B (Apollo), Barbara Paschali 5D

(Artemis),Andreas Parpottas 3C and

(Poseidon),Anastasia Koudelli 2B (Apollo).

The second prize went to George Parpottas 2A

(Poseidon).

It is with great pride that we announce that for the second year in a row, a student of PASCAL English School Larnaka, has achieved the highest grade in Cyprus for his/ her performance in the IGCSE English as a First Language Examina-tions. Katerina Kavourides of Year 6 received this dis-tinction for her performance in the June 2013 ex-amination session and was awarded by Cambridge International Examinations at The Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards in February where “exceptional student performance in Cambridge examinations is recognized.”

Our warmest congratulations to both her and her teacher, Ms. Denise Evgeniou

PASCAL English School Larnaka stu-dent Michalis Koumi, from 3A, took part in the Kangaroo Mathematics Competition on the 22nd of March and won Silver metal. This is the second year in a row that Michalis manages to display a high level of effectiveness in Mathematics. Congratulations to him and his teacher.

KAIJU – OUR JUDO TEAM

This year our team has participated in many tournaments, games and charity events. The latest achievement from the team was at the 2nd International Judo Tournament on Saturday 24/05/2014 where we participated with four students and got the following place: Paula Kosta - 52 kg - Bronze Medal Our girls did their best, fought with dignity and sportsmanship and made us proud.

Our team has participated in many tournaments and games during the past year, always with distinction. The latest achievement from the team was in the Lefkosia-Larnaka Re-gional Archery Tournament on Saturday, 22/03/2014 where we partici-pated with four students and got the following places: Alexandra Taratinova (Form 4) – 2nd Division Cadet mixed (Boys/Girls) - Gold Medal. StylianosHadjiforados (IB1) – 2nd Division Cadet mixed (Boys/Girls) - Silver Medal. Armand Barle (Form 4) - Academies Division Cadet Boys - Gold Medal

PASCAL English School Larnaka pupil, Kappelou Anastasia took part in the Euro-Quiz competition on the 6th November 2013 and was selected to take part in the European Youth Parliament (Euroscola) in Strasbourg. Anastasia managed to score the highest grades for the multiple choice questions of the 2013 – 2014 Euro-Quiz.

The questions revolved around matters related to education, youth, culture and covered not only European matters but matters of interest to Cyprus as well. In this competition there were 55 schools which participated voluntarily from all over Cyprus, with a total of 1914 pupils taking part from Year 5. One winner from each of the 55 schools will have the opportunity to participate in the European Youth Parliament and our pupil Anastasia Kappelou will be amongst them. The participation in such a competition ensures the interest of pupils for European and other matters, and encourages their zeal for general knowledge.  

This year the U.S. Embassy interviewed over 130 ap-plicants for the 2014 Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Summer Institute. PASCAL English School Larnaka student, Charalambos Lappas has been se-lected as one of twenty students to participate in the ten-day summer institute in Washington, D.C. This program is designed specifically for Cypriot stu-dents and will cover global issues, leadership and me-dia training, collaborative project development, and is scheduled for July 20-29, 2014. Our sincere congratulations!  

Harry Newton, 3A of the PASCAL ENGLISH SCHOOL LARNAKA, has been selected to repre-sent Cyprus in the European Youth Activation Summit in Antwerp, Brussels, Belgium in Sep-tember 2014. Harry will be participating in an Educational Conference which shall train him as a leader to be the Ambassador in an Inclusion for Special Education Athletes Programme in our country frοm September 12th until September 17th. Congratulations to Harry Newton!

The Jamming Club of PASCAL English School Larnaka had the honor

to participate in raising money for the Pancyprian Thalassemia Lar-

naka Famagusta Association, performing a variety of Christmas Songs.

They also contributed their Caroling at the Lighting of the main Christ-

mas tree in Larnaka at Ermou Street. Both events took place on the 1st

of December 2013.

On the 7th of December they performed at Debenhams and for the Elite

Sports organization, which took place at PASCAL English School Lar-

PASCAL English School Larnaka has set fundamental objectives to-

wards the promotion of activities and charity events that contribute so-

cially to our community and individuals in need, cultivating a humani-

tarian and voluntary spirit within the students.

On 20th December, 2013, a group of pupils representing PASCAL Eng-

lish School Larnaka escorted by their teachers, visited the Aradippou

Municipal Agora and donated a large number of foodstuffs that was

collected on the school premises. The pupils delivering the food were

able to witness the charitable work being done and developed a real

sense of responsibility and sense of solidarity with others around them.

It is our hope that such initiatives will be continued not only during the

period of Christmas but also throughout the year.

On Saturday 13th of February 2014 students of Apollo House distribut-

ed roses and chocolates to their fellow students, teachers and members

of staff.

On Wednesday 19th of February 2014 the Par-

ents’ Association organized a Carnival Party for

our students at Club Glamour.

On Thursday 20th of February 2014 the Parents’ Asso-

ciation along with students of Poseidon House organized

Tsiknopempti’s events.

On Wednesday 26th February 2014 at 7pm, PASCAL Education, the largest pri-

vate highschool educational organization in Cyprus, opened its doors to an in-

formal meeting between prospective parents and management, in the Founder’s

Theatre of PASCAL English School Larnaka.

The Headmistress, Ms. Despina Lioliou gave a short presentation regarding cer-

tain key issues concerning our school, focusing on the main characteristics that

make it differ from other private schools in Cyprus. The parents were able to

hear important information and to hear answers to any queries they had about

issues concerning the school, thus acquiring a clear picture of the academic and

humanitarian work that the

school carries out.

Thereafter, the distinguished psy-

chologist and collaborator of

PASCAL Education, Mrs. Tenia

Makri gave a presentation with

the title: “I am preparing for my

child’s first steps in High school”.

Parents and teachers had the

chance to listen to the opinions

and advice of an experienced psychologist, and to be informed on subjects con-

cerning the preparation of their children for high school, to comprehend the role

of parents within this critical time and at the same time to ask various questions.

The presentation, as well as the speech were particularly enlightening.

On Monday 31st March, a special ceremony was held at Pascal

Founder’s Theater to celebrate the national anniversaries of 25th

of March 1821 and 1st of April 1955-59. The ceremony included

detailed references to the historical events, short theatrical perfor-

mances, songs and folk dancing. We would like to extend our sin-

cere congratulations to the teachers involved, Ms. Maria The-

ophilou and Ms. Angela Venizelou, who offered our students the

opportunity to reveal their talents in a spectacular show. We would

also like to thank Mrs. Yioula Manentzou for her special contribu-

tion in organizing the students’ dance performances. Finally, we

would like to thank the Senior Masters Mr. Costas Costa and Mr.

Marios Hadjivasiliou, as well as Mr. Costas Satana ,for their coop-

eration and assistance.

This year’s 6 Formers proudly represented our school in the

parade for the 25th March Celebrations.

We would like to ex-

tend our sincere

congratulations to

both students and

teachers involved.

Parents, teachers and Form 6 students successfully organized a blood donation event

in an effort to contribute their immense love and care to their fellow citizens. The

event took place at the Pascal premises on 19th of March.

Sincere congratulations should be extended to everyone involved, for their support in

organizing the event.

Our students can’t wait to go to year 6 just to

register for this club! A club full of action and

activities which provides students with opportu-

nities which under normal circumstances would

never dare to try!

We started our activities with free diving, go

carting and climbed up to Trooditissa Moun-

tains for top rope climbing.

Students enjoyed every single moment of every

activity and expressed their enthusiasm for the

club as well as their disappointment when the

club finished.

Teachers involved: Ms. Despina Kaittani,

Mr. Gregoris Demetriou, Mr. Socrates Petrides

and Mr. Elpidoforos Anastasiou

The aim of the club was to enable stu-

dents to work out, improving their overall fit-

ness. The members of the club had the chance

to do something that took their mind off the

stress of the school and at the same time they

managed to improve their aerobic fitness, flex-

ibility and strength.

During the six club days, the instructor, Vaso

Petrou from Elite Sporting Club taught to stu-

dents some basic steps and techniques of aero-

bics in order to perform a small choreography.

In addition to that, students had the chance to

do some Tae Bo exercises. The instructor also

discussed with club members about fitness,

encouraging them to continue working out.

Teachers involved:

Ms. Elina Zervou,

Ms. Margarita Theodoulou

The basketball club pro-

vided students with a good

physical workout and, most important-

ly, with the chance to get together and

have fun with their fellow classmates.

Teachers involved:

Ms. Maria Botonaki,

Dr. Simon Philips

Professional

coaching by Elite

Sporting Club helped them to develop

their skills in shooting, dribbling, pass-

ing, rebounding, and defense in fast

moving and fast-action games. Moreo-

ver, it promoted the idea of being a

good team player and developed social

skills in a safe environment.

There's something

magical about dancing that

makes us feel free. The power

of the dance is that it unlocks a woman's energy

so that her natural beauty just shines through.

Students were told where a dance originates, its

cultural context; when a prop first appeared and

when a move became popular; who taught what

move to whom and how it changed over time. As

far as self-confidence is concerned, belly danc-

ing helps you appreciate and love your body and

become more comfortable with it. Students

through the club days where taught choreogra-

phies of oriental dancing.

Teachers involved: Ms. Angela Venizelou,

Ms. Maria Vassiliou.

The first aim

of the Boys’ Fitness Club was

to use the knowledge and the experience of a

nutrition expert; to enlighten the dangers of

fad diets and provide the students with the

abilities to have a balanced and controlled

nutritious diet. The Boys’ Fitness Club was

not only based on muscle exercise and body-

building, but also on the knowledge and the

use of a controlled balanced diet. Another

aim of our Club was to give professional ad-

vice to our students on how to work out at

the gym with the help of professional train-

ers, and with the use of body improvement

exercises and aerobic training. We presented

a whole body circuit training that was used

during our training at the gym. Before

workout, all of our students had to warm up

for 10 minutes using a treadmill, a stationary

bike, or some other cardio apparatus. These

exercises were performed in a circuit fashion,

until the students completed one set of every

exercise. In addition, students worked out

various muscle groups (Chest-Triceps, Back-

Biceps, Shoulders-Legs) throughout the six

club days that we visited the gym.

Teachers involved: Mr. Petros Kimitris,

Mr. Sotiris Panayi.

Our Club was very

interesting. A lot of

students who love to

dance, participated this year

as they had the opportunity to learn dif-

ferent kinds of dance moves and tech-

niques involved in Hip hop, Latin and

Break dance. LATIN

In Latin dances, the dancers

shift their weight by stepping

leaving the upper body leveled

and unaffected by the weight

changes. The weight shifts cause

the hips to move. Arm and

shoulder movements are also incorporated. It

involves significant movement above the

waist, with up-and-down shoulder movements

and shifting of the ribcage.

BREAK DANCE

Breakdancing is the kind of

dance in which solo dancers

perform acrobatics that involve

touching various parts of the

body (as the back or head) to the ground.

HIP HOP

Our students learnt how to

do the dance step Walk It

Out. ... your arms for bal-

ance. As they got more

comfortable with the moves,

they felt free to add in a few hops, jumps and

taps.

Teachers involved: Ms. Maria Evangelidou,

Ms. Evrilia Kiayia

There was no other

club to delight one’s taste

buds run in our school this year than the Cooking

Club. Our students discovered some of the

world’s most unique flavours on a Real Food

Adventure. It was an extremely appetizing

“journey” that the students not only thoroughly

enjoyed, but also got them craving for more!

Mexico, China, Greece, France and Japan

were the countries we “travelled” to without ac-

tually leaving our own country. The students

were introduced to each country’s culture and

cuisine. They got familiar with the variety of

food ingredients and the different methods used

to prepare the traditional dishes of each country.

Special emphasis was given to kitchen safety and

hygiene procedures.

The “Nuevo Mexico” restaurant in Larnaca, Pas-

cal English School in Nicosia, the Chinese Res-

taurant Shanghai in Kiti, the Greek tavern “ Το

στέκι της παρέας” in Larnaca, the Restaurant

French Rendez-Vous in Larnaca and the Japa-

nese Restaurant Hokaido in Ayia Napa, were the

places where our students, with the help of the

chefs, performed miracles and literally tasted the

fruit of their labors.

We can hardly wait for the club to run next

year!!!!

Teachers involved: Ms. Evey Pistola,

Ms. Frangesca Frangou, Ms. Lena Mahdesian

The general aims of

the Futsal Football

Club had been carried out throughout the

year on club days. Firstly, the students

had been informed for the importance of

the sport. Also, they had been taught the

importance of the right nutrition for an

athlete, especially for a football player.

Many of the students were aware of disci-

pline rules during a football match; there-

fore they had had many football matches,

where they had the chance to practice the

Futsal rules and techniques. Finally, we

had an exciting competition and the win-

ners got gold metals. The students were

very happy and they expressed the will to

join the club next year too!

Teachers involved: Ms. Panayiota Demetriou,

Mr. Andreas Demetri, Ms. Constantina Symeou,

Ms. Maria Theophilou.

This year the girls in the Fitness Explo-

sion Club experienced a wide variety of

body workouts that included circuit train-

ing, step aerobics, weight training and

floor exercises. But that wasn’t all! Our

girls were educated about how to work

out correctly to avoid injury and how to

eat correctly so they could enjoy optimum

health. Our Club visited a health food

store where items on the market were

sampled and good eating practice was en-

couraged.

Teacher involved: Ms. Andri Louca

Action, exercise,

co-operation, strategy!

The Paintball club offered all that and then

some! Students participating in the club had the

chance to hone their targeting skills using the

special markers shooting paintballs. We visited

Lapatsa and Moni for our Paintballing endeav-

ours, making full use of the multi-level stages

on offer, as well as the Aradhippou course for

Laser tagging, where students had the chance to

battle using sniper, close combat as well as

standard issue rifles using laser beams instead

of, thankfully, real bullets. All in all, fun was

had everywhere, and students and escorting

teacher were all very glad for the experiences

they had!

Teachers involved: Mr. Antonis Themisto-

cleous.

When a party is

organized, girls need

to feel and look perfect. The ex-

citement to pick the right necklace or

bracelet or set of earrings to wear for the party

in order to dazzle their friends, is nothing com-

pared to the anticipation they feel in making

their own jewellery. It’s unbelievable what the

girls in the Jewellery Making Club created in

the year that’s passed. Throughout the year,

during our meetings, they used several different

kinds of materials and beads and they produced

stylish and fashionable pieces that would even

daze a professional. The girls had an amazing

time and they let their imagination run wild. I

totally agree with the adage "A picture is worth

a thousand words", so look at our photos and

enjoy….! They speak for themselves.

Teachers involved: Ms. Irene Alexandrou-

Petrou, Ms. Iliana

Shooting is the second most popular

international sport. It is an outstanding way to

provide human growth and development op-

portunities. It also, introduces safe and respon-

sible use of firearms as well as it opens valua-

ble vocational and life-long recreational educa-

tion. The students who joined our club, were

taught to do safe and responsible use of fire-

arms including sound decision-making, self-

discipline and concentration. They enhanced

their self-concept, character, personal growth,

understanding of sportsmanship and ethical

behavior.

Leadership skills, safe habits, self-discipline &

self esteem, respect towards each other, and

personal responsibility were some of the disci-

plines our students gained through their 6-day

exposure of our club.

Teachers involved: Mr. Marios Thoma,

Mr. Elias Kamaratos

The Sport Variety

Club offered the chance to

its members to “get away” from lessons and

school by engaging themselves in pleasant

and fun activities. On our visit to Paintball

Lapatsa, the students competed with each

other, had great fun and gained wonderful

experiences. We also visited “DP Sports

Club” in Aradippou, where our female stu-

dents were given the chance to participate in

an aerobic “frenzy” for a couple of hours,

whereas our male students were really busy

“building some muscles”. Our students had

the chance to learn important nutrition tips.

Our students proved for one more time what

good players they are when the club visited

the K-Bowling Center. In addition, our stu-

dents visited an Indoor Climbing Center in

Nicosia, where they had an interesting intro-

duction to climbing which comprised theory,

safety and practical instruction. Following

safety rules isn’t always easy but it’s defi-

nitely fun. Our club members surely enjoyed

themselves after having participated in a Go-

Cart competition, at Lucky Star Park in

Aradippou. Through these activities our stu-

dents developed a team spirit and above all

they enjoyed themselves.

Teachers in Charge: Ms. Panayiota Athana-

siou, Ms. Constantia Papamarkou

The main objective of the volleyball

club was to equip students with all the skills

volleyball can offer. The students had the

chance to learn basic volleyball techniques

such as serving, passing, smashing and block-

ing. Each club day a different technique was

being taught and this gave the chance to the

students to practice each technique extensive-

ly. Moreover, the students had the opportunity

to improve their teamwork skills by partici-

pating in numerous tournaments. Overall, the

objective of the club has been achieved as

some of the students have opted for additional

volleyball practice outside school hours.

Teachers involved: Ms. Christina Thomaidou,

Ms. Yiota Eleftheriou.

The aim of the Tennis

club was to teach the

basic techniques of tennis and to pro-

mote sportsmanship and ethical behav-

ior. Theory of tennis and basic tech-

niques and principles were taught by a

professional coach of the Elite Sport-

ing Club. The members of the club

learned to follow rules, be disciplined

and learned to respect their opponents.

At the end of the academic year a tour-

nament took place between pupils in

the Tennis Club.

Teachers involved: Ms. Andri Pentari,

Ms. Maria Kkimitri.

Zumba is a combination

of Latin and International music with a fun and

effective workout system. Zumba's choreogra-

phy incorporated hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa,

merengue, mambo and martial arts along with

squats and lunges. Students acquired

knowledge on how to eat healthily and main-

tain a healthy lifestyle and due to its relevance

it caught their attention . We began with am-

ple participation from students who appeared

to find it exciting and a great way of letting go

of all stress. .

Teachers involved: Ms. Eleni Christodoulou,

Ms. Artemis Fellas.

Winning Essay Upper School: The Tunnel

The repeated beeping sound of the heart monitor was interrupted by the occa-

sional mumbling prayer as a woman sat crying next to her unconscious husband. The

coma had lasted three months and day by day hope receded further and further. Last

week there had been a breakthrough, a flicker of movement under the eyelids. A sign

that maybe, just maybe, there was life remaining.

His eyes opened and he immediately winced at the harsh white glow emanating

from the overhead lights , reflecting off every polished surface. He could not move,

could not speak, his body did not feel like his own. At that moment memories of the in-

cident three months before overwhelmed him as if they had occurred only seconds ago.

His wife, noticing he was awake sprang to his side as his mouth contorted, he tried to

scream but no sound escaped him. His eyes darted restlessly in all directions then rolled

back as the beeping quickened. His face slackened and there was nothing she could do

to prevent him returning to the coma.

* * *

His mind descended through time to that day three months ago. Race day. It was

a beautiful day, although not in the conventional sense. There were no blue skies or roll-

ing hills, instead there were countless fumes of clouds each painted different shades of

silver and purple. Together they wove an intricate ever-changing pattern across the

skies of Monaco. The sun shone through holes in sporadic bursts down onto the build-

ings and roads that stretched out in great majesty. An opportunistic ray of light illumi-

nated his race car sending excited bursts of reflected colour out in all directions.

As man and machine completed lap after lap of precision and skill with alarming speed

and dexterity he felt a surge of power and liberty. The tunnel was his favourite section,

a short stretch of closed road with such intoxicatingly high speeds and tight corners. He

wished it would never end.

Approaching lap 35, or was it 45? It could have been 95 it was so involving and

consuming that no amount of time spent driving the track was enough. Drivers always

yearned for more, extra time to perfect that last corner. Above all, the main attraction

of the tunnel was its unforgiving ruthlessness. It punished drivers who weren’t up to

par, in devastating fashion. Any mistakes meant the end. For the more fortunate fools

it meant a crash. For the pitiful others, death was ominously probable.

As it was, he rounded the final corner preceding the tunnel and the car seemed to

stick, the wheels momentarily locking causing dense white smoke to rise up off the

scorched rubber. Just when a collision seemed inevitable, the car lurched forward cor-

recting itself and the wheels straightened. The engine gave a defiant roar and within a

second the tunnel was upon him.

The droning shout of cheering fans became muffled, blocked out by the tunnel until

only a distant buzzing was felt through the ground. Inside there was only darkness ex-

cept for the strips of faint light overhead. Light or no light, he could navigate this le-

thal strip of track with his eyes closed. The car gobbled up the gears and its speed

peaked as he rounded the first corner in barely half a second. About to turn into the

second corner, the rear wheels locked once again, the front ones scrambling and writh-

ing desperate to regain control but it was hopeless. He put his face in his hands and

shut his eyes in resignation for he knew what was coming next.

The incredible sight of metal crashing into metal at two hundred and fifty kilo-

metres an hour is a spectacle that is as fascinating as it is deadly. Shapes bent and

curved, shock waves travelled along the walls causing cracks to appear and sparks

danced across the wreckage liked fireworks. The sheer momentum of the speeding ve-

hicle carried it to within twenty feet of the tunnel exit before it ground to a strained

halt.

Protected by his seat shell, helmet and suit he gazed through the exit then down

at himself, his ankle twisted at an impossible angle, then back out of the tunnel. A lone

camera tracked his situation with a solitary red beeping light. On-off. On-off. On-off…

His eyes grew heavy and he fell away into silence.

* * *

Once again he was in a tunnel but this time there was no car, no noise, not even

light. Looking around there was only shifting blackness and an icy breeze. At the end

of the tunnel there was faint daylight and the vague figures of trees and clouds and a

road. He continued on, not by will but through some strange otherworldly obligation.

A beeping started, distant at first but it grew into a piercing cacophony like a thousand

alarm clocks. As he neared the end of the tunnel it pulled him closer. The beeping be-

gan to fade, protesting intermittently before it stopped altogether. He stepped out of

the tunnel as the ground dissolved and the sky fell. A bright light consumed everything

and then there was nothing.

The 11 of March 2014 was a special day at Pascal English

School Larnaca: it was the French day.

This year our guest was Mme Chantal Jauneau from the

French Institute in Nicosia (Institut Francais de Chypre).

Visitors could watch a slide show on Paris in the hall and

everybody could hear French songs during the three breaks.

They could also learn about the French monuments, the

French-speaking countries and French cuisine specialties

through the three main bulletin-boards decorated by the

French students.

During period 5 the 1A French class gave presentations

about themselves, their family, their house, their best friend,

their pets and favourite singers or actors.

During period 6 The French 5 students acted a sketch they

wrote themselves , recited a poem by Jacques Prevert “La

Grasse Matinee” and sang « Aux Champs Elysees ». The au-

dience was the 3A

class who also

sang with the

French 5 class

(karaoke) .

During period 7 the IB French 1 students acted 3 sketches

they wrote themselves , recited a poem by Jacques Prevert

“ familiale” “ dejeuner du matin” , « Hamlet » and “Pour faire

la cage d’un oiseau”

and sang

« La ballade des

gens heureux ».

The audience was the

6A class who also

sang with the IB

French 1 class (karaoke).

This year the PES Larnaca European Youth Parliament club, took part in a num-

ber a successful events.

In December 2013 our school organized a mini-session and invited PES Limas-

sol and Xenion High School Paralimni to take part in a General Assembly. Top-

ics on current social problems facing Europe today were discussed and voted

on. The mini-session gives new delegates a taste of what a real EYP National

Session is like and prepares them for participation.

Following on from this, a six student delegation was chosen to represent our

school on the Pre-selection day on the 26th April. Our delegation: Natalie Red-

path (Y5), Pantelitsa Stavrou (Y5), Lazaros Hadjiforados (Y5), Stylianos

Hadjiforados (Y5), Marilena Papachristodoulou (Y4) and Maria Ma-

nentzou, prepared their topic and presented their resolution at the event. During

the Pre-selection day, 22 schools from Cyprus compete and 16 are chosen to

take part in the prestigious annual National Session in August.

Once again our delegations were successful and they have been chosen to repre-

sent our school at the 8th National Session at UCLAN this year. Congratulations

to our EYP delegation for all their hard work and we wish them good luck at the

National Session.

Our school took part in the Mathematics Relay competition

that was held on the 31st of January 2014 at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia.

The Mathematics Relay is a very rigorous competition in which most of the top

schools (public or private) take part. The philosophy of the competition is to pro-

mote cooperation among students in a competitive environment and to improve

their abilities and skills when they are up against difficult problems in Mathemat-

ics as a team.

Every school participating has to send students from all the forms of the lower

school – 3 students from Year 1, 3 students from Year 2 and 3 students from Year

3.

Students of Year 1 are given a problem and they have 15mins to solve it as a team.

Once they have found the solution to the problem, the Year 2 students are then

given a new problem which they have 30mins to solve. Once they have, the Year 3

students are given another one for which they are given 45mins. If any of these

teams finish earlier than the time allocated, the team that follows is given the ex-

tra time “earned” by the previous group – hence the title “Relay competition”.

A group of judges grades each answer given by each team of every school and the

ranking among the schools is immediately shown on a screen of the examination

room used. Once the competition is completed, the top 3 schools are awarded with

medals and the CMS Shield is awarded to the highest ranking school. Subse-

quently all schools are given certificates for their participation.

Participants: Themistoklis Pallikarides 1A, Ellie Panoula 1A, Aggeliki Pantjiarou

1B, Demetris Iasonides 2A, Michalis Constantas 2A, Marianna Maurolefterou 2B,

Anastasia Panteli 3A, Michalis Koumi 3A and Alexey Gorskiy 3A.

Teacher escorting students: Margarita Theodoulou

Our school took part in the annual Students‟ Convention in Mathematics that took

place between the 7th and 9th of February 2014 at the Coral Beach Hotel in Pafos.

It is a convention in which all schools (public or private) in Cyprus participate. The

aim is for students to present original work on a particular field in Mathematics.

The team that represented our school consisted of Maria Kagkeli, Anastasia Kap-

pelou, Andrea Rafaela Nicolaidou and Antoni Georgiou, all from 5A.

The topic of our project was „Από το τανκ τοσ Ντα Βίντσι στα τανκς τοσ Χίτλερ’. A

draft (summary) was sent to the CMS and after approval students composed an ex-

tended work/project and presented that at the Convention. The vast majority of

Mathematicians in Cyprus attends the particular Convention and the students

were given the chance to present their work to people of high caliber in the field of

Mathematics which was quite challenging and intriguing.

At the end of the Convention, the students taking part received a certificate that

shows their participation – something that is a great addition to their student CV.

All the projects will be published by CMS as a special edition with the title: CMS

Annual Students‟ Convention Publication.

Teacher in charge: Margarita Theodoulou

Our school took part in the Mathematics Olympiad that was held on the 6th of

April 2014 at the Vergina High School in Larnaca.

It is a very challenging competition in which the better students (depending on 1st

semester grades) from each school (public or private) take part (Years 1-6).

The aim is to bring such students up against harder problems in the field of Mathe-

matics in relation to what academic year they are in. The examination paper con-

sists of 30 multiple choice Mathematical questions/exercises/problems in both Eng-

lish and Greek. Each student has 1 hour to answer all questions. Every correct an-

swer gives 4p and every incorrect answer deducts 1p from the total mark of each

student. Once the examination papers are marked by the members of the CMS, a

ranking is formed amongst the students participating, in accordance to what aca-

demic year they are in. The top ranked students receive gold, silver and bronze

medals and other high achievers receive credit awards. The ranking is then re-

leased and it is a great honor for a school to have sent students to this competition

and receive a medal or a credit award on such a Mathematics competition.

The competition originates from Australia and this is why it has that name.

It was introduced to Europe in 1994 and now more than 40 countries from all over the

world take part in it.

Cyprus has entered the competition in October 2006.

The competition is held annually on the third Thursday of March.

The main aim of the competition is to promote Mathematics in a fun way, without any

ethnic or social discriminations.

Any student can take part in it (grades are not taken into account as they are for the

Mathematics Olympiad).

The questions are based on logical combination and not the strict implementation of

mathematical formulae.

It is executed in 75 minutes as a multiple choice test, consisting of 30 questions (3-point,

4-point and 5-point).

The questions for years 1-4 are 25.

The correct answer gets 1 point, 0 points are awarded for not answering and a quarter of

the points on each wrong answer is deducted from the total of each paper.

Each participant is given 30 base points (24 for years 1-4) to begin with and the maxi-

mum he/she can achieve is 150 points (120 for years 1-4).

The countries do not compete among themselves – the re-

sults are compared internally for each participating country

and the prizes are

regulated and organized nationally. One

student from our school took part in that

competition and won Silver metal,

Michalis Koumi from 3A.

.

It was with feelings of great pride that both teachers and

pupils watched the celebration for our National ‘OXI’

day, organized by the Greek Department’s Ms Angela

Venizelou and Eleni Christodoulou on the 26th October.

Pupils from all classes participated with dances, singing,

poetry reciting, as well as short plays regarding the time

period. This gave the chance to all the students in our

school, regardless where they were from, to realize the

feat that Greece managed

during the onset of World

War 2, and also give them

an idea of the undying

Greek spirit, a spirit

which became renowned

through time.

Two National Celebrations, each marking

the beginning of a struggle by two nations

that never felt like they were really two, but

one and the same. 25th March marks the be-

ginning of the Greek Revolution against the

long-term enslavement under Turkish rule, a

struggle that they managed to win despite

being severely outnumbered, outgunned and

out-trained. One thing they were not losing

in, though, was courage. The Greek spirit

once again took charge, leading thousands

against the hundreds of thousands of the Ot-

tomans, bringing them to their knees.

The 1st April 1955 is an important day to all Cypriots,

since it was the day Georgios Digenis chose to initiate

the struggle against the British occupation, since Cy-

prus was, up to that point, a part of the British Empire.

Similar to the Greek Revolution, the young Cypriots

were outgunned and outnumbered but lead by the Greek

spirit and the thirst of freedom managed in four years to

force the British to grant Cyprus its independence. Stu-

dents had the chance to be reminded, or learn, both of

the important historical moments that, although staged

130 years apart, shared much in the way they were car-

ried out.

Science Fair 2014

After a long preparation which started in December the finalists in the annual Pascal Education

Science Fair went to Lefkosia to take part in the fi-

nal.

The competition was stiff with many worthwhile

projects from all three Pascal Schools being on show,

ranging from clever ways to use renewable energy, to

the depiction of everyday scientific phenomena.

One could sense the tension in the air among stu-

dents as the time for them to present to the competition judges approached. It was particularly

nerve-racking for Form 3 students who had to do a verbal presentation to a panel of judges, us-

ing nothing more than 3 slides and their voice.

The following students were chosen this year to rep-

resent our school in the final, with Mariana Vikendi-

ou coming away with second place:

Gabriela Ilieva -1A (Hydroponics), Themis Pali-

karides 1A- (Crystal making), Agathi Charitonidou -

1B (Hydroelectric energy), Spyros Myltiadous -1B

(Veggie Electric Power), Angeliki Pantziarou 1B-

(Flower Fertilisation), Alexandra Sergi 1B- (Soap Making), Irini Erakleous 1B- (Motors), Ma-

rianna Vikendiou 2A- (Static Electricity), Andria Theo-

dosi 2B- (Tornadoes), Emily Michael 2B- (Factors af-

fecting rusting), Alexey Gorskyi 3A- (Static Electricity),

Asal Ansaripour 3A- (Influence of Solar Magnetic field

on cosmic rays), Antonis Anastasiou 3C- (Renewable

Energy), Katerina Andreou 3B- (Fire Whirls), Christina

Argyrou 3C- (Volcanoes), Andreas Parpottas 3C- (Earthquakes).

Congratulations to all students for their efforts.

PASCAL English School Larnaka has successfully organized the Second

Annual Futsal Tournament for its students. The tournament took place on

a daily basis from February until March during first breaks. 10 teams par-

ticipated and competed with great enthusiasm for the trophy. The rest of

the school was cheering for their favourite team. GALAXY V was the

team that won the championship (pictured above, with the other finalist

team) with its captain, Yiannakis Efstathiou and his players Kyriakos Pit-

tas, George Koushiappas, Vasilis Neoptolemou and Kyriakos Damianou

overwhelmed by their accomplishment.

On Saturday 1st of February the PASCAL English School Larnaka Judo team

participated in first official judo games for 2014 with great results and awards.

Marilena Papachristodoulou: Gold medal -48 kg

Paula Costa :Silver medal - 57kg

Anna Savva : Bronze medal - 44kg

Anastasia Kounna : Bronze medal - 48kg

The pupils of PASCAL English School Larnaka and members of Elite Sporting Club Judo

team, Marilena Papachristodoulou, Paula Kosta, Anastasia Kounna and Anna Savva, ac-

companied by their coach, Mr. Gregoris Demetriou, and Mr. Marios Koudellis, director of

Elite S.C., participated in the 2nd International Judo Tournament held in Ilioupolis in Ath-

ens on Saturday, 24th May. Paula Costa won third place in the 52 kg category and the oth-

er athletes, trained and prepared by their instructor Ms Despina Kaittani gained important

experiences from the tournament.

The day was sunny from the

get-go so much sweat was in

order, both from the competi-

tors and the observers from the

stands, however, much fun was

also had, marking the day as

another success in our school

year.

On Thursday, 10th October,

our school held its annual

Sports Day at the GSZ Stadi-

um. The games included both

track and field activities and,

true to the spirit of our school,

many of our students, from all

classes, participated in the

games, either for fun or to real-

ly show their abilities where it

counts.

On 19th of February the Pancyprian School swimming games were held in

Limassol Olympic swimming pool. Our school participated with three up-

per school students. Our student Iasonides Constantinos of year 5 took se-

cond place in 200m free-style race with the amazing time of 2:10:09, an

improvement of 3 whole seconds over his last year’s time in the same com-

petition.

On March 28th our school participated in the Pancyprian Games held at the

G.S.P. National Stadium, in Nicosia, with our student Vasilis Vasiliou of 6D. De-

spite being faced with fierce competition, Vasilis eventually ranked first overall

in the pole vault competition.

At the 3rd Nicosia-Larnaka Regional Archery tournament for the 2013-2014 champion-

ship, that took place in Larnaka on Saturday, January 25 2014, PASCAL English School

Larnaka being the co-sponsor participated with four athletes and achieved three 1st plac-

es.

They were:

Stylianos Hadjiforados (IB1) – 2nd Division Cadet Boys - Gold Medal.

Alexandra Taratinova (Form 4) – 2nd Division Cadet Girls - Gold Medal.

Armand Barle (Form 4) - Academies Division Cadet Boys - Gold Medal

At the Lefkosia-Larnaka Regional Archery tournament that took place in Lefkosia on

Saturday 22.3.2014 PASCAL English School, Larnaca participated with four athletes and

achieved two 1st places and one 2nd.

Our medallists were:

Alexandra Taratinova (Form 4) – 2nd Division Cadet mixed (Boys/Girls) - Gold Medal.

StylianosHadjiforados (IB1) – 2nd Division Cadet mixed (Boys/Girls) - Silver Medal.

Armand Barle (Form 4) - Academies Division Cadet Boys - Gold Medal

The fourth participant was Michalis Kavourides of IB1 who took part in only his second

tournament and made a respectable showing.

100 pupils from PASCAL English School Larnaka volunteered to assist in the Ayia Napa

Futsal Tournament held from Saturday 12th April until Tuesday 15th April from 8:00 am

until 8:00 pm. It was an amazing experience for the volunteers and their efforts are to be

commended.

The aims of this pioneering program that will begin in the school year 2014-2015 are to

enable students who participate as athletes in high levels of competition to keep training

to the high levels that their standards require, making full use of our top-of-the-line sports

facilities, whilst simultaneously being offered a high level of education, enabling them to

apply for a place to any University they would like to when their six-year study period

comes to an end.

This year the school’s facili-

ties have been upgraded

even further by constructing

four football pitches with

artificial turf and lighting of

300 lux.

Enriching our sports facil-

ities by resurfacing the

basketball and volleyball

courts with a synthetic

floor and incorporating a

tennis court and a hand-

ball court in the basketball

court is in the pipeline.

Elite Sporting Club started operations in September 2013 in Pascal English School’s

sports facilities aiming to offer to people of all ages a wide variety of sports and activi-

ties. Football, basketball, swimming, martial arts, dancing, art are to name but a few of

the activities on offer, all taught by experienced teachers and trainers, offering high-

quality services.
