STEM Week at CHS
STEM Week at CHS As part of STEAM week organised at Chiswick House School, Level 4 pupils participated in a Maths Trail held at the Malta National Aquarium. The trail gave pupils the opportunity to engage in various outdoor maths activities as well as to experience the relevance of mathematics to their daily lives. The Maths Trail was followed by a talk about the importance of reducing plastic consumption for a better planet.
Putting Malta on the Maths Mastery Map
Putting Malta on the Maths Mastery Map A few words from Ms Bernie and Ms Esmeralda following a three-day maths mastery leadership conference they recently attended in Dubai... Bernie Mizzi - CHSMC Director and Head at CHS: 'An excellent opportunity to put Malta on the Maths Mastery Map and to hear and learn from others. Sharing our experiences was also a great reflective exercise for further development and growth.' Esmeralda Zerafa - Senior Middle Leader Curriculum Design at Chiswick House School: 'An unforgettable experience! It was truly enriching to be sharing the expertise we have gained at CHSMC about leading the change to Maths Mastery with other schools around the globe. Representatives from schools in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Portugal and Shanghai. It was inspirational to listen to the stories of others and to learn about how other schools have taken up this approach. Important interesting issues, such as differentiation and journaling, were also discussed. Many new ideas which we will definitely be adopting at CHSMC to keep up our great practices in maths teaching.'
Art Trip to Florence
Art Trip to Florence A group of SMC students travelled to Florence, home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture. Throughout this exciting programme, organised by the Art teachers at St Martin’s College, students had the opportunity to see some important art works that form part of their syllabus. The Art trip included guided visits to the Uffizi, the Palatine Gallery at the Pitti Palace and the Palazzo Vecchio. Students also visited the Galleria dell’ Accademia, the Museo dell' Opera dell' Duomo and a temporary exhibition dedicated to Verrochio, Leonardo da Vinci’s Master at Palazzo Strozzi. The group also attended a number of bottega workshops at the Leonardo da Vinci Academy in Florence where they were taught how to make a tempera painting, a fresco and engraving. A trip to Pisa and Siena also formed part of this trip. Definitely a unique educational experience for all to treasure! A big thank you to all involved!
SMC places third in the Mathematics Olympiad
SMC places third in the Mathematics Olympiad We are so proud to announce that St Martin’s College has placed third in the Mathematics Olympiad, a biennial competition organised by the Education Division's Mathematics Department.The Olympiad aims to identify talented maths students and foster problem-solving skills and a positive attitude towards maths in young students. While challenging, the experience was undoubtedly enjoyable. The competition was open to Level 9 and 10 students from State and non-state secondary schools, with each school represented by a team of four students. Julian Formosa, Sean Azzopardi, Neil Brincat and Esther Portelli formed this year’s team, coached by Mr Steve Zammit. Thirty-one teams from various schools contested in this year's competition, which was split into three sections. The participants had to attempt the first part on an individual basis. The latter two sections were a team effort. A word of thanks goes to our Mathematics teachers, the Education Division and the Director for Curriculum Management, Mr Gaetano Bugeja, for providing us with this enriching experience.
Victorian Day at CHS
Victorian Day at CHS A very exciting day for our Level 3 pupils as they stepped back in time whilst exploring the past world of the Victorians. Pupils discovered lots about the past and were able to compare what life was like then to now. This activity ties in with the present theme being explored at Chiswick House School ‘Past Worlds and Magical Lands’ where pupils are looking at traditional and fairy tales but with a twist. Level 3s are currently looking at the tale of Alice in Wonderland which was originally written in the Victorian Era. We thank parents/guardians for their amazing support and we applaud all staff for organising this wonderful activity. A very exciting day indeed!
