European Youth Event (EYE) 2023
European Youth Event (EYE) 2023 St Martin’s College Sixth Form students, Celeste Tan Panza and Alex Rossi, attended the European Youth Event (EYE) 2023 which was held at the European Parliament in Strasbourg last week. This event brought together thousands of young people from all over the European Union to share and shape their ideas on Europe’s future. It was a unique opportunity for our students to participate in engaging events, as well as interact and exchange their views and opinions with experts and decision-makers. Celeste described her experience as particularly memorable. “It was especially interesting for me to meet Dr Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament. I also enjoyed meeting other people from all over Europe and learning about their cultures and systems. The experience also helped me to understand the amount of opportunities available for young people all over the world,” said Celeste.
Level 5 College Visit
Level 5 College Visit In preparation for their transition to St Martin’s College, Level 5 learners visited and toured the College yesterday. This visit was then followed by a Sports Day in the college pitches. Pupils sang the creed, read out the Chiswick House School sportsmanship oath and sang the Maltese national anthem. They then made their way to the various stations consisting of individual and group activities. Well done to all who participated and we thank all parents who joined us.
Sicily Trip
Sicily Trip St Martin's College Italian Languages Team organised educational trips to Sicily for Level 8, 9 and 10 students who are studying Italian. The aim of these days trips was to further enhance students’ communication skills in Italian as well as give them an opportunity to experience sections of the Italian/Mediterranean historical and social culture. Students visited Parcallario Adventure Park, located in south-eastern Sicily where they experienced a breath-taking adventure in the beautiful setting of the Hyblaean Mountains. They also visited Syracuse after lunch. The group were able to experience Sicilian culture and further understood the island’s importance in Mediterranean history. What a fun way to learn! A truly memorable experience!
