Professional Development in Florence: SMC Teachers
Professional Development in Florence: SMC Teachers A group of teachers from St Martin’s College have travelled to Florence to further work on their professional learning and to gear up for the next scholastic year. The main focus centered around Flipped Classrooms – exploring pedagogies that allow teachers to make the best use of their time in the classroom, to allow for better learning and more importantly, foster independent learners. We believe that everyone is a lifelong learner, and we actively support initiatives for teacher upskilling and digital transformation.

Chiswick House School’s Secret Garden
Chiswick House School's Secret Garden Did you know? Chiswick House School has a secret garden! Grow10TreesMalta supplied our plants, which are indigenous Maltese flora, and the furniture is made from repurposed wooden pallets. In the future, we will be installing some authentic Maltese tiles donated by Lazarus Tiles. We are excited to make use of this space for outdoor learning, reading initiatives, and to keep it available for all teachers to use. This is a joint project with many wonderful contributors, some of which are last year’s school committee, this year’s Ekoskola team, and Sarah Lanzon.
