This was followed by the certificate and prize giving ceremony in which we celebrated our students’ successes and achievements. This is the time when the attributes and qualities of our students are highlighted and rewarded. Prizes and certificates were presented by Ms Bernie Mizzi, CHSMC Director. We enjoyed the speeches given by our students, namely Michael Spiteri Staines, Annah Chapelle Paleologo, Philip Azzopardi and Krista Muscat along with the delightful performances of Aleksa Andrejevic, Franky Attard, Saskia Cassingena, Anne Grima and Cristina Hili with their impressive performances. We would like to thank all staff, parents and students who attended, as well as all those who helped in the organisation of such a memorable event. Finally, we must express our appreciation and awe at yet another wonderful performance by our Level 11 students in their interpretation of 'Macbeth' in the ACCS film project ‘Scorpion Mind’. A truly professional production! Towards the end of the evening, student Amy Mallia’s photo presentation provided moments of nostalgia to all present.

Level 4 Festival
Level 4 Festival The String Opera ‘The Legend of the Blue Lady’ Kreattiv project 2018 Level 4 pupils performed in a children’s opera based on the ‘Legend of the Blue Lady.’ This was the first time such an opera was staged in Malta. Pupils performed together with Francesca Aquilina, Clare Ghigo and Jeremy Grech, who formed part of the creative team of singers and performers. A string quartet, made up of musicians from the Youth Section of the National Orchestra, provided the music. Pupils were involved in the initial phases of the writing of the opera to the final phases of the production, including scenery and lighting. The music was written by Tom Armitage while the libretto was written by Malcolm Galea. The opera formed part of a project for Kreattiv which was funded by the Arts Council Malta. This project was done in collaboration with SOPA. This performance was indeed spectacular! Well done to all and we hope to see more in the coming years.
